“YOU-ALL” 


Come all of you from other parts, 
Both city folks and rural, 

And listen while I tell you this; 

The word “you-all” is plural. 

When we say, “you-all come down, 

Or we-all shall be lonely.” 

We mean, perhaps, a dozen folks, 
And not one person only. 

If I should say to Hiram Jones, 

For instance, “you-all is lazy,” 

Or, “will you-all lend me your knife ?” 
He’d think that I was crazy. 

Now, if you’d be more sociable, 

And with us often mingle, 

You’d find that on the native tongue 
“You-all” is never single. 

Don’t think I mean to criticize, 

Or act as if I knew all, 

But when we speak of one alone, 
We-all say “you” like you-all.

PREFACE 


“All true civilization is ninety per cent heirlooms and mem¬ 
ories—an accumulation of small but precious deposits left by 
countless generations that have gone before us. Only very proud 
or very ignorant people imagine that our muddle-headed present 
can begin everything all over again every day—and invent a new 
alphabet, a new multiplication table, a new code of laws and a 
new religion.” 

Rev. R. I. Gannon, S.J., Pres. Fordham U. 

These words have a meaning for all of us who want to help 
make the world a better place. They remind us that in every field 
—art, industry, science or religion—we have a legacy reaching 
back thousands of centuries. Each one of us is a trustee of the 
past, we have the important task of living up to our heritage— 
and adding something to it. 

It is my hope that this book may save from oblivion some of 
the records of the past of Jones County, delved from musty 
papers that have reposed for one hundred and fifty years in 
the courthouses and the Department of Archives and History 
Time soon effaces what has gone before and the past cannot be 
remembered for long, unless there be a written record, which 
is called history. 

Local history is very important, for the sum total of the local¬ 
ities make up the state. Jones County’s past is completely fas¬ 
cinating, only one who is native to the soil, can rightfully record 
its virtues and smile at its mistakes. The life and the people of 
this region from the wilderness era until now is varied and too 
rich to be dealt with in one book. I hope that the young people 
will better understand the ways and days of Jones County’s 
beginning. In compiling this book I found that people are 
showing a fresh interest in their forebears, and in rediscovering 
the past. Somehow it gives us a security that the uncertain 
present and the unpredictable future does not. The fact that we 
live in the Atomic Age has intensified this need for self-discovery 
and a reassurance of values from our forebears, their strength, 
courage and vision. 


As much as the men of mark did for our country, it could not 
be what it is today, without the stout hearts, brawn and muscles 
of the inconspicuous tens of thousands who make up the main 
body of our land and helped to found and to carry on this won¬ 
derful experiment of our great democracy. They are the warp 
and woof of the whole cloth. 

We must not rest on the laurels of those who have gone be¬ 
fore, but make a determined effort that our contribution to our 
land shall be worthy of the past. 

In the use of this material, credit may not always be given to 
the source, either by word, material or tradition. I make no 
claim to being a writer, but have only undertaken to compile 
the facts and stories from various sources, and I offer apologies 
for failure to mention anyone or any records which should justly 
be mentioned. I have done my best to secure information on the 
old citizens who shared in the upbuilding of Jones County. I 
know there is much left out but it is impossible to secure all of 
this information and so I heartily recommend that a second vol¬ 
ume be published where I leave off. Carlyle said: “If a book 
comes from the heart it will contrive to reach other hearts. All 
art and authorcraft are of small account to that.” 

There is much to be said of those who have settled in the 
county since the first one hundred years, on which I have only 
touched lightly, but to them I give a sincere tribute for having 
been leaders in their field of endeavor. No county can progress 
without new blood, and to these newcomers of the 1900’s Jones 
County proudly claims you as her own, knowing that when a 
second volume is written your names will head the list of worthy 
sons and daughters. 

Some of the facts in this book were secured from our own 
courthouse which has wonderful and well kept records. To the 
Ordinary, Harris Morton and to the Clerk, F. M. Stewart, Jr. 
my appreciation for allowing me to use these records freely. The 
old copies of the Jones County News edited by Mark Greene, 
and the many articles by S. H. Griswald were invaluable. Re¬ 
search in the records of the Department of Archives and His¬ 
tory in Atlanta, the Washington Memorial Library in Macon 


VI 


and the library of Hon. J. B. Jackson of Gray were valuable 
aids. The clippings and scrapbook of Mrs. Sophie Howard My- 
rick of Haddock and her earnest desire for a history of Jones 
County gave me inspiration to do this work. The Bible records, 
old pictures, letters, cemetery records, traditions and mouth to 
mouth history by old citizens have been carefully garnered to 
give information. Col. Thomas Spencer and Wilbur Kurtz of 
Atlanta, Ga. gave facts of the War Between the States, and the 
battles fought here. Col. Spencer donated photostatic copies of 
prisoners taken, permits and several pictures. To these and many 
others my sincere appreciation. 

Most of all my appreciation to my husband, for his coopera¬ 
tion and understanding without which, the book would have been 
impossible. 

Jones County, in the heart of Georgia, makes her contribution 
to the ever-widening stream that is our own America. I present 
these records, incomplete and inadequate as they are, as a glance 
backwards that reaffirms and reassures and gives us a stimulus 
and inspiration to carry the old forward, to meet the new Atomic 
Era of which we are a part.

OUR GEORGIA 


Down in Georgia the sun shines just a little brighter, the moon 
rays are just a little softer, the breezes blow just a little gentler, 
the birds sing just a little sweeter, the flowers are just a little 
prettier and its climate just a little more salubrious. When trav¬ 
eling from North to South all of us have the idea that we know 
by instinct just when we cross the line into Georgia. Someone 
has so fittingly said: 

Down where the sun’s most always shining, 

Where poverty’s clouds have a silver lining, 

Where there’s chicken and cornbread with every dining, 
That’s where the South begins. 

“Down where Knighthood’s still in flower, 

Where they marry for love without a dower, 

Where money is useful, but not a power, 

That’s where the South begins. 

“Down where the latchstring’s outside the door, 

Where a friend’s a friend, whether rich or poor, 

Where they trace their ancestry back to Noah, 

That’s where the South begins.” 

Our Georgia was the last of the thirteen original colonies 
(1733) to be established. That noble English gentleman, Sir 
James Edward Oglethorpe, who had served 32 years in Parlia¬ 
ment and was an outstanding soldier, had set his heart on putting 
an end to the tyrannical denial of individual freedom. In early 
England the arbitrary imprisonment of debtors where no dis¬ 
tinction was apparently made between misfortune and dishon¬ 
esty caused Gen. Oglethorpe to undertake the Georgia experi¬ 
ment. He carefully selected a group on the basis of personal 
character and ability to get along in the wilderness, for there 
was a struggle for the possession of this region by Spain, France 
and England, and England won out. Georgia was established 
also as a buffer state against the expansion of the Spanish. The 
trustees and the charter were the basis of the government until 
1752, at which time Georgia became a royal colony. The origi- 

viii 


nal Georgia as described in the charter was a great strip of 
America stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean 
(then called the South Seas). The colony was named for King 
George II of Britain. 

Later Georgia extended from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mis¬ 
sissippi River, and two of our finest states, Alabama and Missis¬ 
sippi were formed from it. These same Georgia qualities that 
admitted the unfortunate, has shown her elements of kindness, 
understanding, belligerency, patriotism, reformist zeal, individ¬ 
ualism, and courage, all mixed in the character of Early Georgia 
and remain today. Georgia continues to be an individualist and 
is unpredictable, she has her virtues and her faults, but she is 
admirable. In the wars of 1776, 1812 and 1861 her soil was 
the ground of decisive movements, unrest, duels and personal 
struggles, in fact she never has a dull moment. 

Many are the flags that have flown above our soil, from those 
of Spain, France and England to that of the famous pirate, 
“Blackbeard,” which at one time was hoisted along our coast¬ 
line. It was not until after 1799 that an official Georgia flag 
came into being, a blue flag with the state seal with its motto, 
“Wisdom, Justice and Moderation.” Today the flag of red, white 
and blue with the same seal and replica of the flag of the Con¬ 
federacy is the proud symbol of our history, ideals and aspira¬ 
tions. 

“Georgia was given both plains and mountains and a great 
intervening space between the two called the Piedmont, in which 
Jones County is located. Embracing one-third of the state is this 
rolling Piedmont country of red hills. The diversity of the land 
formations make for a diversity of climate, in soil, in vegetation 
and in animal life.” 

“The tall pine and hardwood grows here. The Mound Build¬ 
ers and the Creeks lived here. The settlers pushed the Indians 
back and came in and after the Revolution, cotton began its 
steady march across the red hills of this Piedmont section. Cot¬ 
ton leaped from 1,000 bales in 1781 to 20,000 in 1800, five more 
years and Georgia produced 150,000 bales of cotton. Slavery 
was the foundation on which the plantation rested. There were 
the planter aristocracy, the mass of people who owned no slaves, 
and the dregs of any society.” 


IX 


“Early Georgians got most of their education from New 
England teachers and preachers, but the temperament and 
achievements of Georgians are individualists, and they are as 
diverse as the land on which they live.” 

(*Merton Coulter’s, “History of Georgia,” Chapter I)

“GEORGIA” 
by Charles D. Jordan 

“If all the cotton grown in Georgia was woven into one sheet 
it would cover the entire United States and one-half of Europe. 
If all the watermelons grown in Georgia were grown into one 
watermelon and the water in that watermelon compressed, and 
turned loose in any one of the big streams in the United States 
it would produce a freshet equal to the Johnstown flood. If all 
the tobacco grown in Georgia were rolled into one cigar, the 
smoker could stand on the Canadian front and ask his friend in 
Honolulu to hold the match. If all the cows grown in Georgia 
were grown into one cow, she could graze at the equator and 
give milk at the north pole. If all the hogs grown in Georgia, 
were grown into one hog, he could dig the Panama Canal with 
one root, and with one grunt could shake all of the coconuts off 
the trees in South America.” 

“If all the peaches grown in Georgia were grown into one 
peach the peeling would be 200,000 miles long, the seed a mile 
high, weighing 1,000,000 tons. If you wanted to make peach 
brandy of this peach, it would take all of the copper from Duck 
Town to produce the still, and you would have to put it on 
Mount Vesuvius to get fire enough to get it hot.” 

Census in 1950, Georgia’s population was, 3,444,578. 

Her motto: “Wisdom, Justice, Moderation.” 

State Flower: Cherokee Rose. 

Bird: Brown Thrasher. 

Tree: Live Oak. 

Area: 58,876 sq. mi. 

Institutions of higher learning, 51, with 16 colleges and uni¬ 
versities. 

Warm Springs is nationally known for the treatment of suf- 


ferers of infantile paralysis. It was here Pres. F. D. Roosevelt 
overcame poliomyelitis. There are seven National parks and 25 
State parks. Atlanta, the capital, had a population in her en¬ 
virons of 671,000 in 1950. 

Principal products are: cotton (610,000 bales in 1950), to¬ 
bacco, peanuts, lupine, pecans, corn, oats, sweet potatoes, peach¬ 
es, watermelons. The state is a leader in production of broilers 
and baby chicks. Large pine forests produce resin, pulpwood, 
turpentine and naval stores. Georgia is the largest producer of 
kaolin and china clay; also produces marble, barite, granite, 
limestone, cement, talc, bauxite, mica, gold and phosphates. Ex¬ 
pansion of industry has been marked since 1942, in textiles, food 
processing, lumber products, chemicals and printing. The large 
H-bomb plant near Augusta is a city within itself. 

Georgia, “The Empire State of the South,” largest state east 
of the Mississippi river has prospered continuously with excep¬ 
tion of the fratricidal strife of the 1860’s and the subsequent 
reconstruction. Georgia’s Crawford Long gave to the world 
ether on March 30, 1842, and already his name is linked with 
that of Jenner, Pasteur and Lister in stories of man’s humanity 
to man. Georgia has given “Uncle Remus” (Joel Chandler 
Harris), Henry W. Grady, Abraham Baldwin, Alexander Steph¬ 
ens, John B. Gordon, Robert Toombs, Martha Berry, Frank L. 
Stanton, Sidney Lanier, Harry Stillwell Edwards, Margaret 
Mitchell, General Clay, W. W. II, Gen. Courtney Hodges, 
W. W. I, Benjamin Harvey Hill and many others to posterity. 

In 1922, “Georgia” was made the official state song by the 
General Assembly. The words by Robert Loveman and music 
by Leila Belle Wylie. 

From the mountains to the sea, Where her rivers roll, 

There I ever long to be, Oh my heart; my soul; 

By her meadows let me lie, In her vales remain, 

Underneath her rooftree sky, Watch the seasons wane, 
Georgia—land of our delight, Haven of the blest, 

Here by happy day and night, Peace enthrones the breast. 
Georgia, Georgia dearest earth, Underneath the blue, 

Clime that ever giveth birth, To the brave and true.

FOREWORD 


For years I have wanted some one who was deeply imbued 
with the love of the red old hills of Jones County, to compile its 
thrilling story in the manner that Mrs. Carolyn White Williams 
has done. 

In her treatment of its Indian history, one can sense the 
power of the great Muscogean Nation whose capital was 
located at Macon’s Ocmulgee Town and whose smaller towns 
extended up the river, can picture the war expeditions of the 
red men, throughout the centuries before the white man came, 
over the important old Indian trails that led through the county. 

In her accounts of the War Between the States, especially, 
one can almost hear the sound of the hoofbeats of the galloping 
horsemen, the bugle blasts that sounded the cavalry charges on 
the battlefields of Jones, the roll of drums and the booming of 
artillery mingling with the rattle of small arms as Sherman’s 
hosts spread carnage and laid waste throughout the whole 
county. 

There are old cemetery records, histories of the churches, 
educational records, more than fifty pictures with the interesting 
stories of the old aristocratic homes, of the golden era of the 
county. 

For four years the author has devoted her available time to 
the compiling of the records, alone doing most of the work. She 
has performed a monumental task and deserves the gratitude of 
not only the people of Jones County, but of every one who is in¬ 
terested in preserving the history of Georgia for future genera¬ 
tions. This work will place her in the front rank of the County 
Historians of Georgia. 

She is a member of the Georgia Historical Society, a gradu¬ 
ate of the Georgia State College for Women and a former 
teacher in the Jones County schools. This book is another labor 
of love for her county. 

Mrs. Williams was married on December 27, 1922, to 
Carlton Candler Williams. Their three children are Mary Anne 
Williams Hamrick, John Thomas Williams and Carolyn W. 
Williams.

Chapter I. 


INDIANS 

For hundreds of years before white men came into Georgia, 
the Hitchiti Indians seem to have been here. They did not live 
as nomads but had developed a higher level of civilization. These 
Indians traveled extensively from the Great Lakes to Georgia. 
There were many different tribes in the Great Creek Confed¬ 
eracy, and the first account we have of these Hitchiti Indians 
they were speaking the Muscogee dialect. Georgia pre-history 
and early Colonial history is intimately bound up with the Creek 
Confederation, which came to occupy fully two-thirds of the 
State. 

Many Indian relics have been found in Jones County and 
there is definite proof that before Jones County was formed the 
Indians were here. Even today arrow heads may be found in 
the woods and fields. At Dames Ferry the Indian arrow-maker 
lived on the place later owned by the Dame family. Hundreds 
of arrow heads have been picked up in this vicinity. The trails 
made by the wild animals later became Indian trails; then the 
trappers, hunters, traders and settlers used these trails. The 
western boundary of Jones County is the Ocmulgee river and 
this was the favorite place for the Indians to live. The river 
furnished transportation, good fishing, hunting and the rich 
bottom lands in which they grew corn and vegetables. The banks 
of the river were high and the land was not flooded so the 
Creeks lived up and down the lands adjacent to this river for 
several years after Jones County was organized. Their largest 
settlement was at Ocmulgee Old Fields (now Bibb Co.). These 
Indians were not molested for hundreds of years until the Eng¬ 
lish came in. 

Unlike most Indian tribes the Creek name is of English origin. 
These Indians were first called Ochese Creeks, and soon this 


2 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


was shortened to Creeks. Ocmulgee river was at that time known 
as Ochese Creek. Southerners may have received their accent 
from the Creek Indians. 

Jones County was criss-crossed with many Indian trails, as the 
Indians were constantly going to Milledgeville, the capital, in 
1807, and before that to Louisville. Indian Springs, a few miles 
from Jones’ borders was a center of the Creek Confederacy and 
the trails going to many points crossed Jones County. We only 
know the routes and names of a few of these trails. “Horse- 
Path,” ran the route of the Garrison Road (No. 49) and was 
used for travel to the south, to Spanish Forts at Tallahassee, 
St. Marks and Pensacola. Another trail was “Old Indian Path,” 
which came across the Ocmulgee at what is now Juliette and 
went in the direction of Milledgeville. North and south were 
two parallel trails a few miles apart known as “Cheehaw Trail” 
and “Tom’s Trail.” Tradition has it that “Red Horse Trail” 
went through Pope’s District, Ethridge and on to New Orleans. 

The Indians of the southeast, Cherokees and Creeks, had a 
well developed civilization of their own before the white men 
came in. They lived on a higher plane morally and were essen¬ 
tially a better people than they were centuries after contact with 
European adventurers, whose baneful influence demoralized 
them. They were friendly to white men until despoiled by them 
and as a reward for their friendship they were taught vices of 
civilization and eventually driven from their homes and hunting 
grounds to a far country. 

Because the Creek Confederation was a powerful influence 
through this area during the period of colonization we are 
chiefly concerned with this tribe. The Creek Confederacy con¬ 
sisted of several related tribes and each tribe had its Chief or 
Mico, and over all was the Chief of the Confederacy. The 
Chiefs all met with the head Chief in May in the principal vil- 
age to consider all matters of importance. These Chiefs had 
unlimited power and the Indians who had broken the law suf¬ 
fered without murmur; beating, confiscation of property and 
even death, as penalties. 

Milfort’s description of a Creek village says in each town was 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


3 


a public square. In each angle of the square there were three 
cabins of different sizes forming in all twelve cabins built close 
together and holding from 40 to 60 persons each. The chief was 
chosen from a certain clan by issue of the female line, since di¬ 
vorce was by mutual consent and few women had more than 
two children by the same father. The chief controlled the public 
granaries, named the time for planting and harvesting, declared 
war, fixed the dates for festivals, made peace and executed sen¬ 
tences. Next to this chief was a warrior chief and a chief priest. 
Together they would meet at forenoon in the council house which 
was in the center of the public square as were the obelisk poles 
and slave posts where captives were bound for torture. 

“The Creeks were tall, erect and robust. Their features were 
regular; their complexion a reddish brown copper; and their 
hair coarse and black. The Creek women were rather short but 
well-formed. Before they began trading with white people they 
wore scanty clothing made mostly of skins. They wore moccasins 
in winter and went barefoot in summer. The men wore a loin 
cloth drawn through the belt and hanging down in front and 
back, half way to the knees. They also wore a cape over their 
shoulders in winter and went bare in summer. The headbands 
decorated with beads and feathers were worn on special oc¬ 
casions. The women wore a short skirt from the waist to the 
knees or a diagonal cloak thrown over one shoulder, reaching 
to the knees and leaving one shoulder bare. Before a woman 
married she wore her hair long, hanging down her back and 
after marriage she arranged her hair in a neat knot on her neck. 
Indian men kept their hair short ecexpt for a single lock in front. 
Some men and women wore heavy ear spools and were tat¬ 
tooed.” 

(History of Macon, p. 26, by Young, Gholsen and Har¬ 
grove.) 

Children went naked until about thirteen years of age, but 
after the settlers came in, they began to dress as they did. The 
Creek Indians were a proud and haughty race, brave in war, 
restless, hospitable to strangers, and after foes were well con¬ 
quered they were taken into their Confederacy and given full 
membership. 


4 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Bryan says that their farming and gardening were carried 
on in an interesting manner. A plot was laid out and different 
families assigned separate plots of ground, however there were 
no fences, and each family cared for its own plot. The women 
did most of the agricultural work, using shell, stone and wooden 
tools until they began trading with the white settlers. Their 
main crops were corn, beans, squash, pumpkins and tobacco. The 
white settlers introduced other fruits and vegetables. It was not 
unusual to see an old squaw chasing a horse out of her garden 
with a tomahawk. They often had a raised platform in the cen¬ 
ter of the garden or field where the squaws would take turns 
sitting, to keep the crows out of the corn. The Indians’ food was 
quite palatable. They would take corn, grits or meal and bear 
grease, hickory nuts and potatoes and make a great variety of 
dishes. The mortars and pestles found through here are sup¬ 
posed to have been used for preparing hickory nuts for mixing 
with bread dough. By use of cold water after pounding, the 
fibrous part of the nut was washed off and the crushed nuts were 
as good as any sweet butter. Chestnuts were used in the same 
way and contrary to most beliefs, the Indian cook was very clean 
with her cooking and the preparations for it. 

“Fighting was more important than farming and most of it 
was done in the spring and lasted until late summer. The war¬ 
riors went through a ritual of fasting and purification before 
setting off to war. The Creek warrior fought almost naked with 
half of his face painted red and half black. His chief weapons 
were bows and arrows, knives, tomahawks and war clubs. The 
Creeks excelled in the arts of strategy, ambuscade, deception 
and personal concealment.” 

(Ibid., p. 26.) 

“Next to war, hunting and ball play came second in the esteem 
of the Creeks. Their games were of a type to develop strength, 
speed and skill. Many forms of ball were played. In one game 
they used nets or stricks to pass the ball from one player t<J 
another. Another favorite game was ‘chunghe’ which was 
played in an area set aside for the purpose. In this game two 
persons threw a slender stick at a “disc” used as a “taw” and 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


5 


the winner was the one whose stick fell nearest the “taw.” Some¬ 
times arrows were used instead of sticks and the spectators en¬ 
joyed betting on the results. “Parchesi” and “Hit the Pole” were 
played by the women and girls.” 

(Ibid., p. 27.) 

Our game of lacrosse came from the Indian game called the 
two-stick ball game. Match games between villages where ma¬ 
terials and possessions were bet, caused roughness and some¬ 
times fighting. 

The Indian’s superstitutions were numerous. (Debo’s Road 
to Disappearance, p. 238). They believed that a rattlesnake 
would give good luck if he crawled into camp during a ball game, 
and that a wolf would punish the irreverent. The Creeks re¬ 
spected plants as well as animals. In the fall to prevent colds 
they used leaf-colored water. “For four mornings in succession 
they drank the leaf-colored water in four sips, facing the sun, 
and then dipped in it four times.” The Indian Maidens’ beauty 
parlors were vine-covered nooks where they spread their long 
hair under the dripping sap of grape vines to make their hair 
luxuriant (Ibid., p. 299). They thought that pointing one’s finger 
at a rainbow would make that finger grow crooked. Blindness 
and falling teeth were the penalties for not spitting four times 
when one sees a falling star. They thought that feeding pups 
wasps for four mornings would make them develop into fierce 
watch dogs. If an infant ate the tongue of a mockingbird he 
would grow into a mimic. If someone scratched the baby with 
quail’s toes he would become fast and nimble and if the baby 
drank water from an old well he would become a great singer. 

“The family life of the Creeks was similar to that of other 
Indian tribes. After marriage a man was taken into his wife’s 
home. The marriage had to be renewed each year to be binding 
and polygamy was sometimes practiced with the consent of the 
first wife to whom the others were subordinate. The man usually 
took the sisters of the first wife for his other wives. When a 
man died his wife stayed a widow for four years and then her 
husband’s family chose her another husband. The children be¬ 
longed to the mother and were reared by her oldest brother 


6 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


who was responsible for their education. A man had no author¬ 
ity in his own home but much in that of his sister. The children 
were segregated when they were around thirteen years old. The 
older women controlled the girls and the older men controlled 
the boys. Each clan had an old and wise man who went from 
house to house teaching boys and girls to make pottery, baskets, 
moccasins and tunics.” 

“The religion of the Creeks centered around the sun, which 
was regarded as the symbol of power and beneficence of the 
Great Spirit; and around maize, animals and fire. They erected 
temples for sun worship and kept the sacred fire eternally burn¬ 
ing. They worshipped virtues such as strength, speed and cun¬ 
ning and any bird or animal symbolizing these were revered by 
them and given an important part in their ceremonies. They be¬ 
lieved in the immortality of the soul and placed in the grave 
articles they thought might be useful in the next world. Some 
tribes even sacrificed their own members upon the death of their 
chief. They pictured The Happy Hunting Ground as a warm, 
pleasant country which abounded in rivers, forests and game. 
Here the Supreme Spirit meted out punishment and rewards.” 
(P. 27, History of Macon.) 

“The principal ceremony of the Creeks was the Busk or har¬ 
vest feast—, a series of rites and dances, which began in August 
when the crops of corn had reached maturity and which lasted 
for seven days. Very important in this festival was the prepar¬ 
ing and drinking of the ‘Black Drink,’ an emetic, which served 
as a propitiatory purification of the maize deity. Out of the fire 
in the center of the dance, the women solemly carried a portion 
of fire to their hearths. For the Creeks this had a deep religious 
significance, the beginning of a new year when a new season of 
friendship and peace was begun and hatred forgotten. They re¬ 
garded signs and dreams as important.” 

(Ibid., p. 27.) 

In White’s Collections of Georgia we have found accounts 
of treaties with the Creeks, covering a period of nearly one 
hundred years. After the Revolutionary War we were constantly 
at war with the Indians. We began to acquire land by treaty 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


7 


after the Oconee wars. The treaty that obtained the counties 
of Baldwin, Wayne and Wilkinson was between the Federal 
government and the Creek Confederacy. The treaty was signed 
by forty chiefs and warriors on June 16, 1802, on the Oconee 
river at Wilkinson. It was ratified Jan. 11, 1803. At that time 
the fort was commanded by Major Samuel Beckam. In 1806-07 
the garrison was moved to Fort Hawkins in Jones County and 
Col. Benjamin Hawkins was in command, this in 1807 the very 
year that Jones County was formed. This site near the Ocmul- 
gee river had fourteen acres in the stockade where the block¬ 
house was built. This was twenty feet square, thirty-four feet 
high and surrounded by watchtowers and a basement built of 
stone eighteen inches thick and ten feet high. The second story 
projected over the first for three feet on all sides. There were 
holes in the floors in order to shoot any Indians attempting to 
scale the rock base, to burn the wooden structure above. There 
were two blockhouses surrounded by a strong stockade. One 
blockhouse was in the southeastern corner and the other in the 
northeastern corner. There were four long houses placed along 
the four sides which formed part of the blockade, and were used 
for soldiers’ quarters, provisions and the factory goods to be 
sold or bartered to the Indians for peltries. The officers’ quarters 
were in the center surrounded by large oaks. Only trees left for 
shade were there as the other growth was cleared away. Theie 
were 14 acres in the stockade and 96 acres surrounding it. Col. 
Benjamin Hawkins selected the site for this fort on a command¬ 
ing eminence near the Ocmulgee river. 

About thirty miles west of Jones county at Indian Springs, 
the site of the Confederacy of the Creeks, on Feb. 12, 1825 while 
Jones County was eighteen years old, Chief William McIntosh 
signed a treaty giving the United States government all lands 
west of the Flint river. For signing away the Creeks lands this 
handsome son of a full-blooded Scotchman and a pure Indian 
mother was cruelly murdered by his own people. 

The Creek nation step by step finally yielded to the encroach¬ 
ment by the white man, and by treaties dimly understood, gave 
up their beloved hunting grounds. By 1837 they would soon be 
beyond the Chattahoochee river. 


8 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


More than 14,000 Indians left on Sept. 14, 1837 for the 
Indian territory. It was a sad time for them. The Creek officials 
walked single file carrying the sacred plates, another tribe carried 
conch shells which they had used during the Green Corn Festival. 
One group guarded the sacred fire so as to keep it burning until 
they reached their new home. The Indian girls looked back at 
their beautiful hills and valleys, the streams falling over the 
rocks, the trysting places of lovers, and had a last look at the 
paths and trails worn smooth by their leather moccasins. Most 
pitiful were the old people. Some begged to die on their hunting 
grounds and one old squaw hanged herself to keep from leaving 
her home. 

“It was the irony of fate that the Indians who had aided the 
struggling colony and probably saved it from destruction in the 
long and bloody contest between the English and the Spanish 
for possession of Georgia soil, were later denied citizenship and 
driven out of their happy hunting grounds by the children of 
those colonists. The forcible removal of the Indians from Geor¬ 
gia by the U. S. Army was in compliance with the Federal gov¬ 
ernment’s agreement in 1802 when Georgia ceded lands (now 
Alabama and Mississippi) to the U. S. government and the gov¬ 
ernment agreed to acquire for Georgia the title to all Indian 
lands in the state. That agreement was in violation of a previous 
treaty guaranteeing the Indians in perpetuity their title to the 
land they occupied in Georgia. Now this could be only justified 
by purchase and the consent of the Indians. The U.S.A. claimed 
to have purchased and secured by treaty in 1835 these lands but 
Indian leaders declared that only a small minority approved, 
and that the means were unfair.” 

Four thousand of these Indians died on the long 700 mile 
journey West. This speech was made by the son of a white man 
and an Indian squaw at the end of the 19th century. Standing 
before a Senate committee in 1906, Pleasant Porter gave this 
farewell message. (Road to Disappearance,” by Debo lines 16- 
17, p. 377 from Creek tribal records 35644; 59 Cong. Sen. Rep. 
No. 5013 1 627f.) 

“The vitality of our race still persists. We have not lived for 
naught. We are the original discoverers of this continent, and 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


9 


the conquerors of it from the animal kingdom, and on it, first 
taught the arts of peace and war, and first planted the institu¬ 
tions of virtue, truth and liberty. The European nations found 
us here and were made aware that it was possible for men to 
exist and subsist here. We have given to the European people 
on this continent our thought forces—the best blood of our an¬ 
cestors, having intermingled with that of their best statesmen 
and leading citizens. We have made ourselves an indestructible 
element in their natural history. We have shown that what they 
believed were arid and desert places were habitable and capable 
of sustaining millions of people. We have led the vanguard of 
civilization in our conflict with them for tribal existence from 
ocean to ocean. The race that has rendered this service to the 
other nations of mankind cannot utterly perish.” 

The following record was found in the Ordinary’s office at 
Gray, Jones County, and is probably the only record of its kind, 
in the original cramped writing. This shows that in 1818, eleven 
years after Jones County was settled, we were still having deal¬ 
ings with the Indians.

he had lost him. Where upon on the 29th of June I ordered Mr. 
Barnard to the certificate hereunto attached which has produced 
this report from Mr. Hawkins. 

Benjamin Hawkins, Agt. of 

Indian Agent. 

There was an immense traffic in stolen horses. Indians travel¬ 
ed so much that they were always in great need of horses. They 
even went as far as Tennessee and Kentucky to get horses for 
their use. The white men complained of the Indians stealing 
their horses, and the Indians would complain of the white men 
killing their game and trespassing on their land and fishing their 
streams. 

(Indian Affairs Vol. 1, 604-607.) 

Indians came into Clinton during the first twelve years of its 
existence, to exchange skins and furs for goods. They camped 
outside of the town and stayed several weeks. Some of the 
people could speak their language. One of these was Dr. Thom¬ 
as Hamilton. The Indians were very fond of music so Dr. Ham¬ 
ilton, who lived in the big white-columned house in front of the 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


11 


Johnson home in Clinton, brought twenty Indians to his home to 
hear his daughter, Frances, play the piano. Dr. Hamilton had 
brought this piano from Philadelphia and Frances was a gifted 
pianist. She was so afraid of the Indians that her father stood 
by her with his hand on her shoulder while she played about all 
of the pieces that she knew. The Indians were delighted and 
when leaving, they chatted away to Dr. Hamilton and told him 
that they like “heap big fiddle music.” He let them look inside of 
the piano, and their surprise and expressions must have been 
very interesting.

“The Jones County Searchlight”) 

Because of the fact that Jones County was part of the Oc- 
mulgee National Monument until Bibb County was cut out in 
1822, I shall refer to this briefly. This area was a concentration 
of Indian villages for the past 10,000 years. At least six suc¬ 
cessive occupations by different Indian groups can be recognized. 
They came here because of the hill, swamp and river food 
sources, and the rich bottom lands for corn. There were good 
springs and the place was easily fortified as well as being able 
to ford the river and to use it for transportation. Because of 
these same advantages the white settlers came to trade with the 
Indians and stayed. The Indians are classified as Master Farm¬ 
ers, Early Farmers, Shellfish Eaters, Wandering Hunters, and 
Creeks. They grew the casena leaves and button snakeroot for 
medicines, also using the bark of the willow tree. The Creeks 
believed that plants were friendly but that animals caused dis¬ 
eases. Their money was deerskins and probably shells, and furs. 
They used the big conch shells to serve drinks and to eat from, 
then they made the clay pots and vessels. From 1715 to 1836 the 
Creeks’ Confederation of 50 towns was the most powerful In¬ 
dian organization in America. In one year it is said that over 
51,000 deerskins were shipped from Charleston. The large 
mounds of earth on which they erected their temples may still 
be seen. The Department of Interior has made this into a Na¬ 
tional Park and preserved the main mound and put the relics in 
a museum, which every one should see. Burials of the Indians 


12 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


may be seen just as they were over 200 years ago. This area was 
claimed by the Indians until 1821 when they finally ceded it to 
the United States. (Taken from pamphlet at museum.) 

Such were the people who lived here and of which we are a 
part, when the first white settlers came to build their forts, vil¬ 
lages and cabins in Jones County, Georgia in 1807. 


Chapter II. 

PRE-FORMATION OF JONES COUNTY—1790-1807 

Some outstanding incidents mark the few years preceding the 
formation of Jones County. Gen. George Washington had vis¬ 
ited Georgia at Savannah on May 13, 1791. People from all 
over Georgia went to Savannah to see the “Father of His 
Country,” and show their respect for him. He was welcomed 
in Augusta by Gov. Telfair to the seat of Georgia’s government, 
where he was accorded every honor. I quote from Washington’s 
speech at that time, “While the virtuous conduct of your citizens, 
whose patriotism braved all hardships of the late war, engaged, 
my esteem, the distresses peculiar to the State of Georgia after 
the peace, excited my deepest regret.” 

On Dec. 14, 1799, George Washington died, and Henry Lee’s 
famous words will always be remembered, “first in war, first in 
peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen.” 

Washington, D. C. became the capital of the U.S.A. in 1800 
and Pres. John Adams’ wife, Abigail, hung her laundry in the 
White House East Room! 

About this time a vast territory of lands in Georgia was open¬ 
ed up after Congress and Georgia had settled the Yazoo Fraud, 
and the Indians were being pushed back toward the Oconee and 
Ocmulgee rivers. These lands, later of which Jones County be¬ 
came a part, were exceedingly attractive to Virginians, Mary¬ 
landers, North Carolinians, and South Carolinians. As a rule 
they were slave owners and sought more land to expand their 
agricultural pursuits. Many sold out and took the long over¬ 
land journey in wagons and carts to these new lands. It must 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


13 


have given the women a pang of regret to leave their comfort¬ 
able homes and come many, many miles to find a new home in 
the wilds of Georgia, still half Indian, and having no comforts 
at all. 

This influx of cultivated people from states that had superior 
advantages in wealth and culture gave Georgia an uplift that 
was felt in many ways, to the immense benefit of the English 
settlers who had come over with Gen. Oglethorpe seeking refuge 
from autocracy. 

Georgia’s boundaries until 1796 had reached from the Atlan¬ 
tic Ocean on the east to the Mississippi river on the west. After 
the infamous Yazoo act was rescinded there were many claims 
against the state from those who speculated on these 55,000,000 
acres of land. All classes of people were involved from Massa¬ 
chusetts to Georgia. Eminent men, a signer of the Declaration 
of Independence, a Federal Judge and many others were in¬ 
volved in this scheme to get rich in land speculation. Let us 
give credit to Gen. James Jackson for resigning his seat in the 
Senate in Washington and coming home and being elected as 
Representative from Chatham County to help others fight this 
Yazoo Act. He was successful and the papers were burned with 
fire drawn from Heaven with a sun glass, to wipe out the blot. 

Jackson lost his life as a result of a duel over this Act, and 
Georgia lost a vast and rich domain in 1802 when the Federal 
government was ceded these lands from which the fine states of 
Alabama and Mississippi were made. 

It is said that this caused the first split between the Northern 
and Southern Democratic Party. 

In 1793 the cotton gin had been invented by Eli Whitney, 
an event which had far-reaching importance. More settlers came 
in, more slaves were bought, millions of more acres of land went 
into cultivation and settlers from other states began to come in. 
This development of the gin brought great social and industrial 
revolutions, extending slavery, the plantation system and was 
the major cause of a disastrous war. 

But for the extension of the cotton crop, slavery would have 
ceased to exist. The profitable employment of negroes on cotton 
plantations from 1800 to 1860 caused an immense increase in 


14 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


slavery. Large planters became men of wealth, and they and 
their families constituted the aristocracy of the Southern States 
until the war of the sixties. The slaves were made free and life 
and property destroyed, and of this war, more has been written 
than any other. 

In this period of pre-formation of Jones County we find that 
in 1793, Gov. George Matthews was having his troubles. The 
British and Tory activity among the Indians incited them to 
murders and tortures never before known to Georgians. Georgia 
had troubles with the Spanish, and as the youngest of the col¬ 
onies and in her position she was exposed to attack from both 
the Indians and the Spanish. At the end of the long war for 
independence she was so impoverished and in such a struggle 
to reestablish herself, as well as her currency, that it is unusual 
that she had the foresight and the wisdom to become the first 
state in America to establish a State University. (University of 
Georgia at Athens, 1784.) 

This takes us up to the establishing of our mother county, 
Baldwin, which was established by act of the legislature on 
May 11, 1803, after the Creek Indians had ceded a large tract 
of land in 1802. The County site of Baldwin was Hillsboro 
(now Jasper County). The records show that this little village 
of a few log huts and a dram shop was used to have Baldwin’s 
first election in Joshua Hill’s house. Adam Carson was elected 
Sheriff but not to hold office for long for in 1807 when Randolph 
(Jasper) and Jones were cut out, then Adam Carson lived in 
Jones County. He was a Revolutionary soldier and his grave 
is now marked near Wayside. The same year in which Jones 
County was formed, Milledgeville, named for John Milledge 
became the county site of Baldwin and also the Capital of 
Georgia. 

In a decade Jones had outgrown Baldwin and Clinton had 
outgrown Milledgeville. A few houses at the crossroads of the 
place called Albany was named the first county site of Jones 
County. In 1809 the name was changed to Clinton. 

A new plan was made to distribute these new lands by the 
“Land Lottery System.” Before this, the head-right system had 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


15 


been used which gave the head of each family 200 acres or more 
according to the number of each family and the number of 
slaves owned. Under this new system the lands were surveyed 
at public expense into 202 acre lots and these lots were num¬ 
bered and the number placed on a ticket in boxes or on a wheel 
which also had blank tickets. Under the law those entitled to 
draw were, “all the free white males twenty-one years of age or 
older; every married man with children, under age; widows with 
children, and all families or orphan minors.” Some drew blanks 
while others were more fortunate, this was done under the direc¬ 
tion of five managers and the Governor. Plats and grants were 
given to the lucky ones with the Governor’s signature and the 
great seal of the State attached. 

The Land Lotteries of Jones County may be found in the 
Appendix of this book, years include 1820-21-26-27-32. 


Chapter III. 

FORMATION OF JONES COUNTY—1807 

Jones County has been immortalized by the musical pen of 
Sidney Lanier. 

“Thar’s More in the Man Than Thar 
Is in the Land” 

“I knowed a man, which he lived in Jones, 

Which Jones is a county of red hills and stones, 

And he lived pretty much by gittin’ of loans, 

And his mules was nuthin’ but skin and bones, 

And his hogs was flat as his corn-bread pones, 

And he had ’bout a thousand acres of land.” 

(Now to make a long poem short, a man named Jones went 
to Texas, but Brown stayed in Jones. In five years Jones came 
back and he was so fat he wouldn’t weigh.) 

But Brown moved out to the old Jones farm, 

And he rolled up his breeches and he bared his arm, 


16 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


And he picked all the rocks from off’n the ground, 

And he rooted it up and plowed it down, 

Then he sowed his corn and his wheat in the land. 

(Jones stood in the door and Brown asked him in—five 
years later) 

But Brown asked him in, and he sot 
Him down to his vittles smokin’ hot, 

And when he had filled hisself and the floor 

Brown looked at him sharp and riz and swore 

That, whether men’s land was rich or poor 

Thar was more in the man, than thar was in the land.” 

(Excerpts from the poem written by Sidney Lanier in 1869.) 

In the year 1807, Jared Irwin was the Governor of Georgia 
in the new Capitol at Milledgeville, Baldwin County. The rec¬ 
ords of the State and the Treasury had just been transferred 
from the old Capitol at Louisville in a caravan of wagons es¬ 
corted by a troop of Calvary from Washington, D. C. and one 
from Milledgeville to the new building in Milledgeville. The 
Capital was named for that famous Revolutionary soldier, John 
Milledge, and it remained the Capital of Georgia until 1868. 

In 1807 Robert Fulton’s Steamboat, “The Clermont” had its 
first run up the Hudson River. The President of the United States 
was Thomas Jefferson and the Vice-President, George Clinton. 
The Louisiana Purchase had just been consummated and Lewis 
and Clark had been sent by the President to explore the terri¬ 
tory west of the Rockies or the Oregon Country. Robert E. Lee 
was born January the 19th of that memorable year. Grier’s 
Almanac was first published then. Into this state and national 
setting the county of Jones was established by act of the legis¬ 
lature of December 10, 1807. 

Jones was formed from Baldwin County, which had been 
formed on May 11, 1803. It was during the days of President 
Thomas Jefferson when James Madison was Secretary of State 
that treaties with the Creek Indians pushed Georgia’s western 
outposts from the Oconee to the Ocmulgee river. There were 
two specific treaties signed which ceded to the white men all of 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


17 


the lands between the Oconee and the Ocmulgee and on south 
of the Altamaha. The first of these treaties set forth in the Acts 
of 1800-1810, article 80, section 1, p. 101, and was signed at 
Fort Wilkinson on Nov. 14, 1805. This territory was called 
Wayne County south of the Altamaha and later was divided 
into other counties. The territory between the Oconee and the 
Ocmulgee was first divided into Baldwin and Wilkinson counties 
and later others. The land was divided into lots of 202 acres 
unless water courses should render this impractical. 

According to Merton’s “History of Georgia,” “a million years 
ago only the northern part of Georgia was above the ocean. 
Then through natural forces, as the land rose the water re¬ 
ceded.” Where the ocean waves once beat across Jones County, 
there are marks which geologists readily recognize. On the banks 
of the streams in southern Jones county are lime and shell for¬ 
mations. This is most readily seen on the fall line where the 
Piedmont Highlands waters take their last swift descent to join 
other streams and go on to the ocean. 

Jones County is situated at about the geographical center of 
the state. On the north this county is bounded by Jasper and 
Putnam counties, on the east by Baldwin county, on the south 
by Wilkinson and Twiggs and on the west by Bibb and the Oc¬ 
mulgee river which separates Jones from Monroe county. 

Jones County was laid out in 1807; part added from Putnam 
in 1810: a five mile slice given to Bibb County in 1822, and 
since then her boundaries have remained stationary. 

From north to south the county is about twenty-one miles. 

From east to west it is about eighteen miles and the area is 
378 square miles. The topography varies from smooth and level 
to where the streams divide the hilly areas. The Oconee and Oc¬ 
mulgee rivers and their tributaries drain Jones County. The 
Athens branch of the Central of Georgia railroad follows the 
line of division between the two drainage systems. The north¬ 
western part of Jones county has Caney Creek, Falling and Rock 
creeks. The southern part has Walnut, Sand and Bonner creeks, 
and the waters of the northeastern section are carried to the 
Oconee by Big Cedar and Little Cedar creeks and their tribu¬ 
taries. The southeastern part has Commissioner, Slash and Sandy 


18 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


creeks. Jones County is on the fall line of Georgia, while the 
northern part is in the Piedmont Plateau, consequently the soil 
is varied from flat areas of sandy loam to Cecil clay on the slopes 
and Davidson clay loam. In the lower part of the county is a 
strip of land known as the “piney woods” section and north of 
this the “oaky woods.” The strong red mulatto lands from Clin¬ 
ton upward and out to the Ocmulgee river were soon settled by 
early comers through land lotteries. The Piedmont Plateau had 
such conifers as the loblolly, short leaf and pitch pines. 

The mean annual rainfall is forty-seven inches, with an alti¬ 
tude in the center of the county of 605 feet. The growing period 
is about eight months between the last killing frost in spring to 
the first killing frost in autumn. The two coldest months, Jan¬ 
uary and February have an average temperature of 46 degrees. 
The hottest month, which is July, has an average of 82 degrees, 
and the yearly average temperature is 64°. 

The same act that established the county of Jones, authorized 
that the courts and public business be held and transacted in the 
house of William Jones, which is northwest of Gray in Finney’s 
District G.M.D. 299. There is a picture of this house and more 
information in another chapter. In 1808 Albany was designated 
as the county site and the records show that in September 1808 
the Inferior court passed orders to lay out a road from Albany 
in Jones to the Garrison Reserve: Albany to the Hurricane; and 
on to Walnut creek where the road crosses. In the same year on 
November the 7th the Inferior court passed this order. “That 
the Commissioners of Albany in the court of Jones deposit in 
the Clerk’s office of this court within thirty days all bonds and 
obligations arising from the sale of lots in Albany, for the use 
of the county.” 

In the minutes of late 1809 the county site is spoken of as 
Clinton instead of Albany and the second courthouse of wood 
was constructed on the place of Ross at Clinton. This must have 
been a temporary structure as in October, 1809 the Grand Jury 
recommended, “That the courthouse is inadequate and that the 
Inferior Court come to an understanding with the undertaker, 
(contractor) and have one built on a suitable plan which will be 
more convenient and lasting.” (Minutes of the Sup. Court, 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


19 


1808, no page.) The records show that James Thompson was 
the “undertaker,” or builder and that he was paid $1,797.00. 
The lot of land on which Clinton was built was bought from 
Thomas Johnston for the sum of $2,000.00. (Book of Deeds E. 
pp. 163-164) Sept. 12, 1808, in the 33rd year of American In¬ 
dependence. Signed by Rich Brown, Harris Allen and David 
White, J.P. 

In 1818 the third courthouse of Jones County was finished.

Jones County. (Courtesy of Mrs. Valentine B. Blair.) 


It was two stories, made of brick with a basement which was 
used for a city barracks and jail until the new jail was finished. 
This was a large, attractive building and stood until long after 
the new courthouse at Gray was built in 1905. The two-story 
jail made out of native granite stood just where Reubin Stew¬ 
art’s barn now is and was well made by Jacob Hutchings, a slave 
and a stone mason, and Representative in Reconstruction Days. 

The first Judges to guide the fledgling county on its destiny 
were: Hugh Moss Comer, William Jones, James Jackson, Wil¬ 
liam Binion and John McKenzie, called Chief Justices on May

Others who came in the next few years whose names are 
found on old records, were: Henry Cabarries, John H. Fannin, 
Wm. Osborne, Isaac Harvey, Jas. S. Frietson, Wm. Scarbor¬ 
ough, Hardy Herbert, Richmond Bledson, Thos. Baldwin, John

Joel Bond. 

At the court of March 21, 1808 Justices of Peace and Con¬ 
stables were appointed. Roger McCarthy was made Ordinary. 
A road was to be made from High Shoals on Falling Creek to 
Clinton and the Commissioners appointed to mark out a road 
from Clinton to Milledgeville (22 miles). The Commissioners 
were: Thomas Pickard, Uriel Atwater, and Levi Mobley. The 
Clerk was authorized to get the digest of laws of Georgia from 
the General Assembly in Milledgeville. 

Settlements were made rapidly as soon as the county was laid 
out. There were already many families in Jones County by 1803 
as well as Indians (while it was still Baldwin). Land lots were 
given away by lottery to induce settlers here, especially the Rev- 
olutionery soldiers of whom one hundred and six drew bounties. 
There were eighty-five Rev. Sol. widows. The population in¬ 
creased rapidly, roads were laid out and bridges spanned the 
streams in order to give access to the adjacent county sites and 
the Capitol at Milledgeville and to Fort Hawkins. The Federal 
or Garrison road connecting Milledgeville with Fort Hawkins 
and passing through southern Jones County was perhaps the 
earliest and most important road in this part of the state. Rec¬ 
ords state that in 1808, Sept. 19th Benjamin Howard and 
Charles Parting were appointed overseers of the road, as it was 


22 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


used for transporting the U. S. Government supplies and equip¬ 
ment. (See Chapter on this road.) 

“As the development of the county went forward, good homes, 
churches and schools were established. The rolling hills were 
covered with virgin forests where the red men still lurked within 
their protecting shelter, and followed the well-worn trails which 
their ancestors had used so long. These trails the white men 
put to their own uses. “Horse-Path” ran from the Flint River 
to Ocmulgee Old Fields (now Macon) through what was later 
the Garrison road to a spot on the Oconee near Milledgeville 
known as Rock Landing. Another trail known as “Old Indian 
Path” ran from the Flint river, crossing the Ocmulgee at what 
was later Juliette and went on across Jones County to Milledge¬ 
ville. In between these two going north and south, were “Chee- 
haw Trail,” and “Tom’s Trail.” As time went on the red men 
were pushed farther westward, giving way to the white man’s 
ambitions, expansion and growth. The white man with his keen 
business acumen and ingenuity made the quiet peaceful country 
come alive with his activity and prosperity. The Indians no doubt 
longed for the days before the white people came to disturb 
their hunting and fishing grounds. On the western boundary of 
Jones County where the waters of the clay-colored Ocmulgee 
wind through gently sloping Piedmont hills there stood deeply 
fertile lands of pine and oak forests. There were numerous 
natural springs, branches, creeks and streams which flowed cool 
and clear. Among the oaks and pines there grew chestnut, beech, 
maple and the short leaf pines. Underneath these pines of more 
than three feet in diameter and one hundred and twenty feet 
high also grew wild azaleas, sweet shrubs, dogwood, chinquapin, 
red bud, huckleberry and jasmine.” (Mrs. W. J. Morton) 

Wild flowers were abundant. The hardy Cherokee rose grew 
all along the roadsides. There were fluted cerise flowers of the 
crepe myrtle, yellow January jasmine, goldenrod, asters, sumac, 
morning glories, trumpet vine, redbud, dogwood and trillium. 
The red clay banks were covered with fragrant honeysuckle and 
partridge peas blossomed in the grass. The southern smilax, a 
glossy-leafed evergreen, grew in every wooded area, festooning 
the trees. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


23 


The county abounded in squirrels, rabbit, deer, quail, rac¬ 
coons, wild turkeys, doves and the wily red and grey foxes. The 
streams had plenty of fish and the forests consisted of pines, 
oaks, sweetgum, chestnuts, and poplars. The muscadine and fox 
grape were plentiful as were hickory nuts and black walnuts. 

Products found in the old papers of the early 1800’s lists 
these products as being abundant in Jones County: Cotton, corn, 
wheat, flax, indigo, millet, barley, oats, and sugar cane. There 
were many flocks of sheep, cattle, horses, mules and hogs, and 
most of the farms had flocks of geese, turkeys, and many guin¬ 
eas and peafowls. 

Jones County was named for Hon. James Jones, who was 
born in 1769 in Maryland, but came to Georgia as a boy in care 
of his uncle, Col. Marbury. He was educated at an academy in 
Augusta and at the age of 18 he studied law in Savannah and 
later represented Chatham County very brilliantly in the state 
legislature in Augusta, the capital; and was later elected to Con¬ 
gress. In that body he acquitted himself admirably. In January 
1795 he was at Augusta where the Legislature was in session 
and tried his best to defeat the celebrated Yazoo Act, but his 
efforts were unsuccessful. In 1796 he with other patriotic men 
passed the law rescinding the Yazoo sales. In May 1798 he was 
a member of the State Convention which framed the Constitu¬ 
tion of Georgia which asserted her rights to her western terri¬ 
tory (now Alabama and Mississippi). As he went to Congress 
in Oct. 1798 by almost a unanimous vote, he was considered a 
distinguished member and an eloquent speaker. He was opposed 
to John Adams and contributed much in casting Georgia’s vote 
for Jefferson. He died at his post in Washington, D. C. on Jan. 
19, 1801, 32 years old. He was buried in Arlington by the side 
of another outstanding Georgian and a friend of his, Gen. James 
Jackson. His descendants are found in the family of Hon. Wil¬ 
liam Law, of Savannah who married his daughter. 

James Jones married the widow of John Millen, Sally Ep- 
pinger Millen, in 1792. James Jones’ will is recorded in Book A, 
Chatham County Courthouse. The will mentions a daughter, 
Alethia Jones; a sister Alethia A. Stark; cousins Nancy and 
Elizabeth Marbury, daughters of Leonard Marbury; two step- 


24 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


daughters not named. His wife was one of the executors of the 
will. The papers of this estate are in File 18 in the Courthouse. 
To distinguish him from other men with the same name, from 
Chatham County he was called “Chatham Jimmy.” 

The Act 270 in 1807 provided for the Ocmulgee Court Cir¬ 
cuit and Jones was one of the original counties in this circuit 
and is still in the circuit, (at the end of 150 years.) Peter Early 
was the first Judge. 

Early towns mentioned in old records were: Blountsville, 
Fortville, Grab-all, Griswoldville, Ethridge, Larksville, Tran- 
quilla, Clinton. 

The first jail stood near the present home of the Earl Hamil¬ 
ton’s and in close proximity to the Clinton cemetery. The second 
jail was made of the rock as mentioned before and finished in 
1842 on the site now covered by Reuben Stewart’s barn. Near 
this barn still stands a small house used for a post office at one 
time. Then it cost 17 cents to mail a letter to Savannah, 10 cents 
to Milledgeville and 5 cents to Macon. (1835.) 

It cost $3.00 then to ride the stagecoach from Clinton to 
Milledgeville. It cost $10.00 to ride from Milledgeville to Co¬ 
lumbus via Macon and took 22 hours. These coaches ran daily, 
while most of them at that time ran twice weekly. 

Some prominent men and women from Jones County that 
contributed to leadership in Georgia were: Charles J. McDon¬

In 1886 the railroad was built through the central part of the 
county going from Macon to Athens. It came through Gray in-

stead of Clinton, also Clinton had suffered from the Civil War 
destruction and over at Fort Hawkins the settlement spread 
into what is now the City of Macon. Clinton could not stand 
all of these reverses, so Gray became the county site in 1905. 
It was named for James Madison Gray who had left an educa¬ 
tional fund for the worthy boys of Jones County to go to Mercer 
University. A contract for the new courthouse was let on July 
25, 1905 for $35,000.00. The stone from the old jail in Clinton 
was put into the foundation and the retaining walls of the new 
structure. 

The Clinton Methodist church is one of the oldest Methodist 
churches in this section of Georgia. The land was deeded in 1821, 
but the church started in 1810. Sunshine Church near Round 
Oak was burned by Sherman’s forces in 1865 and in 1875 was 
rebuilt at Round Oak. There was a Baptist church opposite and 
beyond the Johnson home in Clinton, which was destroyed dur¬ 
ing the Reconstruction period (built in 1836). 

We can hardly visualize Jones County as she stood head and 
shoulders above the surrounding territory from 1827 to 1840 
in leadership, slaves, wealth and production. She sent three and 
four Representatives to the legislature and her leading city of 
Clinton boasted 12 industrial plants, with a capital of $55,625.00 
with over $100,000 in annual products, tanned hides, farming 
implements, lumber, corn, meal, flour, wagons, ox carts, 900 
cotton gins annually and lumber products. There were three large 
taverns, two hotels, cotton warehouses, a photograph gallery, 
churches, schools, silversmith shops, saloons, blacksmith shops 
and stores. Sherwood says in his Gazateer of Georgia that there 
were over 55 homes in Clinton. In the thirty-year period until 
the War Between the States, she continued to grow and prosper. 

The 1850 census shows 6,325 valuable slaves and 3,899 
whites, the real estate value was $1,373,625 and personal prop¬ 
erty (slaves) valuation was $3,525,464. Some of the leading 
planters of that period and their possessions at one time were: 

Thomas Bowen, 3,800 acres, value $18,000, 51 slaves. 

Peyton T. Pitts, 2,600 acres, value $10,000, 84 slaves. 

Joseph G. Stiles, 3,000 acres, value $15,000, 44 slaves. 

Elizabeth Lowther, 4,200 acres, value $20,500, 91 slaves.

March 6, 1809 the Inferior Court passed an order which 
read, “Ordered that John Bayne, Daniel Lowe, Peter Clower, 
and James Jones be appointed overseers of the poor in this 
county, and appropriating $40.00 to the use of William Burge, 
Jr. to be paid for the care of James Drawn (min. Inf. court 
county affairs, 1808-1823, p. 30). This system of care for the 
poor prevailed until 1830, on that date an order passed that 
Charles McCarthy, County Treasurer would pay to Alfred Iver¬ 
son $500.00 for land purchased by the directors for a poorhouse 
and the deed is dated June 21, 1830, for 200 acres, lot 19, 9th 
Land District (Deed Book Op. 327). In 1841 the system was 
again changed, and the clerk was given authority to pay out 
certain funds for the support of individuals. In 1850 there were 
17 paupers, and $561.00 for support. 

The Academies of Jones (found in another chapter) were: 
Clinton Academy, Fortville, Farmers (later called Planters), 
Union Hill, Prof. Dykes School at Plentitude, Flat Shoals, 
Blountsville. The Slade’s Clinton Academy is best known. His 
school was known as “The Clinton Female Seminary.” This 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


27 


school besides being a success was in a way the forerunner of 
Wesleyan College in Macon. For in 1839 when the college was 
established, Professor Slade was called to Macon as a leading 
instructor and he was a moving spirit in the new college. He 
carried thirty of his students and two teachers from Clinton. It 
is said that he wrote the first diploma ever delivered to a woman. 

This county was famous for the scene of the Bunkley trial 
(1837). Jesse Bunkley, a profligate young man of large prop¬ 
erty, left Jones and went no one knew where and for years was 
not heard from. At last people believed that he was dead and 
his estate was divided among his relatives. Long after this 
division was made, a man who bore a striking resemblance to 
him appeared and declared that he was Jesse Bunkley. Many 
who had known Bunkley swore to their belief that he was not 
speaking falsely, and many refused to admit his claim. It was 
finally charged that the alleged Bunkley was a man named Bar¬ 
ber, and on the prosecution of Barber as a swindler and imposter 
the case was brought before a jury. It was proven to its satis¬ 
faction that he was Elisha Barber, an imposter, and he was sent 
to the state prison; but many clung to the belief that he was 
Jesse Bunkley, whose only crime was that he sought to recover 
property in the hands of others. (See Jesse Bunkley trial.) 

The construction of railways to Savannah, Athens, and Au¬ 
gusta, all of which pass through Jones, has given the county 
good railroad facilities, and a number of stations, Griswoldville, 
James, Haddock, Gray, Round Oak, Bradley, Wayside and 
Juliette. 

Jones County was settled by many Revolutionary Soldiers of 
which a list is in this book. Some of the very early ones to settle 
here were: John Lamar Esq. whose record in the war was a 
brilliant one. There was another Rev. Soldier named Oliver H. 
Morton who came from North Carolina to Jones County in 
1807 and settled. He was a native of Boston. During the strug¬ 
gle for independence he and his father Silas both fought for the 
colonies. He was carried a prisoner to England and a record 
states that he followed the sea for 28 years. John Lowe and 
Alexander Dunn were both patriots of the Revolution and were 
early settlers of Jones County. James Comer, a Rev. Soldier 


28 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


came here and settled and lived to be 108 years old. His grave 
is substantially marked, near Clinton. 

Jacob Martin was an eminent lawyer and an early settler who 
served in the House and Senate of Georgia. 

Gen. David E. Blackshear was an early settler and died at 
Clinton but was buried in Laurens County. 

Capt. H. B. Ridley, a political leader and prominent in public 
affairs lived in northwest Jones County. 

Fort Hawkins was in Jones County, mile east of the Oc- 
mulgee river, here also was Col. Benjamin Hawkins who lived 
in Jones for several years. 

In 1811 the Senators from Jones were: William Jones and 
Thomas Blount, the Representatives were John Bayne and Wil¬ 
kins Jackson. 

Hugh M. Comer the railroad Magnate of Savannah was a 
native of Jones County. 

U. S. Senator, Alfred Iverson, for many years lived in Clin¬ 
ton, and here his son Alfred Iverson, Jr. was born. Both father 
and son became Brigadier Generals in the Confederate Army. 

Isaac and Joseph Winship, Reuben Roberts, and Samuel Bar¬ 
ron came in the first few years. Robert Vines Hardeman came 
from Lexington to Clinton as a young man. He was an able 
lawyer and jurist. He died in the prime of life in 1871. His 
son, a distinguished man, Col. Isaac Hardeman was born at 
Clinton, but later moved to Macon. 

One of the most noted Chief Executives of Georgia, Peter 
Northern was born and reared in Jones County. William S. C. 
Reid was a brilliant lawyer who lived at Clinton, acquired in¬ 
temperate habits and died at thirty-seven in Monroe County. 

Veteran of the Revolution, Benjamin Reynolds, died in Jones 
County at the age of seventy-three. A native of Caroline Co., 
Va., then of South Carolina and later of Jones County. 

James Smith is listed in Jones County in 1811 and was a prom¬ 
inent lawyer and trustee of the Clinton Female Seminary. He 
moved to Macon about 1840 and at death had an estate valued 
at more than $100,000. He was a lawyer in the famous Jesse 
Bunkley case in 1837. 

We would do well to cultivate an awareness and appreciation

of all that is indigenous and idiomatic to this heart of Georgia 
which is Jones County so that our sense of culture will come 
out of a desire to make our own contribution richer and finer 
for our county, state and nation. To quote Woodrow Wilson in 
“The New Freedom”: “When I look back upon the processes 
of history, when I survey the genesis of America, I see this 
written over every page: that the genius which springs up from 
the ranks of unknown men is the genius which renews the youth 
and energy of a people. Everything I know about history, every 
bit of experience and observation that has contributed to my 
thought has confirmed me in the conviction that the real wisdom 
of human life is compounded out of the experiences of ordinary 
men. The utility, the vitality, the fruitage of life does not come 
from the top to the bottom; it comes like the natural growth 
of a great tree, from the soil, up through the trunk into the 

branches, to the foliage and fruit.-A nation is great, and 

only as great, as her rank and file.” 


Chapter IV. 

SETTLERS 

Some pioneers came into upper Georgia long before the Rev¬ 
olution; some came up the rivers from the coast after Savannah 
was founded, others drifted down from the Carolinas and Vir¬ 
ginia. Although the country was then owned by the Indians, they 
seemed to have tolerated the presence of these white men. In 
favorable locations along the rivers, they cultivated patches of 
land. They grew tobacco in order to trade it for rice and 
weapons. Some of these whites traded with the Indians for furs. 
There were probably over a thousand of these pioneers in the 
colony when Gov. Bullock secured a treaty with the Indians in 
1773, for lands between the Savannah and Ogeechee rivers. As 
a rule these people were illiterate and some were Tories in 1776, 
but after the war, the Whigs punished these Tories so severely, 
that they moved on, to get away. Now a different class of people 
came into Georgia, from the older colonies, after the surrender 


30 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


at Yorktown of Cornwallis and the British forces. These men 
were not pioneers, but settlers who brought their families and 
came with the determination to build homes and become citizens 
of the new state. 

The motive of the pioneer was a desire for economic security, 
and to gain it, he placed himself in physical insecurity. He rarely 
lived long enough to enjoy the fruits of his labors. The pioneer 
was unsettled, restless, adventuresome, brave, improvident and 
lacking the home making instinct. He was usually a rover and 
not a settler. 

The settlers built homes, churches and schools and set up an 
established government with courts and officials. This is a picture 
of a civilization unique in the annals of history, and one out of 
line with the melting pot of the industrial states to the north, 
for there was little or no immigration from European countries 
just at this time in the South. 

As soon as the act of the legislature authorizing the boun¬ 
daries of Jones County was passed on December 10, 1807, there 
was a rush of settlers. As Jones was cut out of the county of 
Baldwin, there were already many families living in the eastern 
part, while Indians were still in the western part of the new 
county. These first settlers came on horseback with scant pro¬ 
visions, a long-barrelled flint-lock rifle for protection and for 
the killing of food. There were also outlaws and Indians to 
watch for. He fed his horse on the wild oats and clovers which 
grew abundantly. 

The settlers’ first thought was to find a spot convenient to a 
trail and water, and there build his log cabin. This cabin 
was usually one large room with either a dirt floor or one of 
hand-hewn puncheons, with a mud and stick chimney or field 
rock. The logs were dove-tailed together and the cracks were 
chincked with mud. It was not until later that boards were used 
for ceilings and floors. The log house was sometimes enlarged 
by adding rooms or a second story. Another type of log building 
was the blockhouse, a two-story square structure with a stone 
foundation. Some cabins had an open space between two rooms 
called a dogtrot or breezeway. 

After the settler had built the simple cabin, the fields were 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


31 


cleared. The Indians had burned the small shrubs, so the huge 
pines and oaks were felled. Some trees were cut around and they 
had logrollings to get the logs out of the way to plant fields. 
Rail fences were built to mark boundary lines and to fence in 
cattle. Some of these fences of hickory lasted more than fifty 
years. 

These cabins were provided with heavy furniture, much of it 
homemade. There were feather beds, pewter plates, spinning 
wheels and simple kitchen utensils for cooking over the open 
hearth and occasionally a few books. 

The settlers, once located, found deer, rabbits, squirrels, tur¬ 
key, and quail for food. The streams were full of fish and there 
were wild fruits. He planted patches for cotton and corn and 
grew sheep for wool. The wife with her spinning wheel and 
clumsy loom made the clothes for the family. Luxuries were 
unheard of, there was no tea, coffee or sugar. There were no 
doctors for most people in those early days, and they had to 
rely on home remedies such as roots and herbs for relief. There 
were no teachers or schools and until enough people had come 
in to set up some kind of law and order it was every man for 
himself, with his trusty rifle. This settler was fortunate indeed 
if he had a good wife for there were not enough women to go 
around. So he kept his gun clean and his wife protected because 
these were his priceless possessions. The couple was lucky if 
half their children survived infancy. 

Amusements of the early period of the county were: gander 
pulling, wrestling, shooting matches, chicken fighting, horse racing 
and country dances. Each man owned a rifle with a long barrel, a 
delicate trigger and an accurate sight and could shoot it expertly, 
as he was accustomed to shooting from boyhood. The crowd met 
at the crossroads store to shoot for a beef. They would pay 25 
cents each as a fair share of the worth of the beef and a target 
was set up. The best shot won the beef. There was a quarter- 
mile track set out for racing, and usually the bets were a quart 
of whiskey or peach brandy. Horse trading was a fine art and 
some men prided themselves on being able to palm off a poor 
plug on an unsuspecting victim. 

“To distill corn whiskey and peach brandy was accepted in 


32 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


the best of families and most people drank, many to excess, and 
nearly all moderately. These settlers feared no peril and shrank 
from no hardship, as most of them had been brought up on the 
frontiers of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina, 
and were accustomed to fighting for their very lives. They had 
never known restraint and were as free as a deer on the hills. 
They were considerate of women, made good fathers, as a rule* 
and good husbands.” 

(White’s Collections of Georgia.) 

The rudeness of those first years was gradually replaced by 
more comforts and even a few luxuries. The cabins were re¬ 
placed by better homes and living was simple. 

Jones County being a frontier county for several years, was 
in danger of Indian attack. The first church services were held 
in homes until a church was built. The people coming in from 
Virginia and the Carolinas brought along some culture and 
wealth into the wilds of this Indian country, and eventually 
bought up large acreage of lands. 

The slave ships owned in Boston and New England emptied 
their cargoes on the wharves at Savannah with fearful frequen¬ 
cy. Most of these new slaves were bought by the rice planters 
on the coast but the slaves in Jones County came in from the 
Carolinas, Virginia and Maryland and were about four genera¬ 
tions removed from the savage African Negro. The slaves here 
were greatly improved by food, clothes, climate, and knowledge 
and were docile and intelligent. 

Soon after the county of Jones was named, Justices of the 
Inferior court were named, Hugh M. Comer, William Jones, 
James Jackson, William Binion and John McKenzie. They were 
told to select some central place in the county for a county site 
to hold courts and to mark out the Militia Districts, to fix the 
date for a county election, to name the place for voting, and to 
advertise it. Inferior courts consisted of five Justices, serving 
for four years. The terms of this court were two in each year, 
with concurrent jurisdiction with the Superior court. They han¬ 
dled actions of debt when same did not exceed thirty dollars, 
trespassing, with supervisory power over bridges, ferries, roads 
and public buildings. It also had powers of the court of Ordinary 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


33 


in all matters in relation to the estates of the deceased persons 
and in some instances they granted citizenship papers. They had 
jurisdiction in the care of the poor and in all actions other than 
those in which the titles to lands were involved. Justices’ courts 
consisted of two Justices for each Militia District, elected by the 
people. 

In frontier days the pine knots served for both heat and light, 
when placed in the crude fireplace. After working all day in the 
fields, it was not unusual for boys to lie in front of the fire at 
night and learn to read and write. Many of these very boys be¬ 
came leaders of our county and state. 

The “logrollings,” where the huge logs were cut and rolled 
into piles and often burned, were affairs where the neighbors 
pitched in to help. The land was cleared for more cotton. These 
logs later on were worth many fortunes. On these occasions 
feats of strength were a part of the program. The man who 
could pull his man down at the end of a hand stick under the 
great logs or could out-wrestle or out-run another was regarded 
as the best man in the settlement. He was greeted by shy ad¬ 
miring glances from the girls and usually got to ride home with 
the prettiest one, occasionally on the same horse. 

Wrestling matches were common after the first few years of 
the new county. People stood around taking sides and edging 
them on, with no holds barred. They fought until one was de¬ 
feated. It was not unusual to get an ear yanked off, teeth knock¬ 
ed out or an eye gouged out. 

More land was cleared and as the grain ripened, the husky 
settler and his son wielded the scythe: some tied bundles of the 
golden grain while others put up shocks with an extra bundle 
on top to keep out the rain until the threshers could come. This 
was a red letter day; the barefoot boy would run in breathless 
and announce in an excited voice that the “thrashers” were com¬ 
ing. There was a hurry and a bustle; everyone was getting ready 
for a busy day. The women had to work to feed the hungry men 
and often there were visitors to be fed as well. By dinner the 
hearty appetites were appeased by food that would “stick to 
the ribs.” After a short rest period everyone was out and after 
the job of threshing. By night the laborious day was ended. The 


34 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


tired men ate a hearty supper followed by a well-earned sleep. 

There was the fodder pulling, the hay cutting with scythes, 
the making of roads and filling up the holes in the old ones by 
hand. In autumn the cotton picking was done. 

These days are gone with their toil and labor, and the pleas¬ 
ures of that time, but they will live on in the memories of the 
people of the South. 

The following letter was written by an early settler of Jones 
County in 1822, and is now in my possession. Joseph White 
evidently thought that Jones County was a good place to live 
and wanted his sisters and brothers to come here, too. Following 
this letter is a story of the trip these settlers took from Virginia, 
North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland and other states. 

Clinton, Georgia 
June 6, 1822. 

Dear Brother and Sister, 

It is a long time since I had the pleasure of seeing any of 
your handwriting. I have heard from you once in a while by our 
nephew, son of our brother Oliver. I received a letter from him. 
He is in New Orleans, but did not like the place, he said that 
his time there would be out the last of May, then he would come 
to Georgia. 

I want to hear from you, I want you to write me word what 
you are doing. I hear that Lucy has been married twice and 
don’t live with her last husband. The reason I can’t find out. I 
want you to let me know the reason, be it good or bad. Please 
let me know the worst of it. 

I want you to come to Georgia to live. It is a fine part of the 
world to live in. It won’t take you all of your time to get wood 
and feed your cattle. There is rich land enough to be had on 
good terms, if you will come. I will find you land enough to tend 
as long as you will tend it. I will find you plenty to eat for one 
year. My wife says come, the children say come, and God says 
come out from among them. 

You can make cotton a plenty, flax grows well, sheep wool 
is cheap; and it’s a fine place for peaches and apples and all 
kinds of garden truck grows well. This part of the world is not 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


35 


more sickly than where you live. It is believed by many that if 
any comes to the southward they will die. The reason is because 
when they come, they say the water is so bad, and for fear the 
water should make them sick, they take too ardent spirits and 
the dissipation kills them. Any person that believes in God dare 
not say that He will punish anybody for going to any part of 
the world to get a comfortable living. I want you to write as 
soon as you get this and say you will come this fall. If you come 
by water to Savannah, I will find some way to get you up the 
country. But if you don’t like to come by water, get you a wagon 
and two horses, you can come in six or seven weeks. Start the 
first of September, it will be a fine time for man and horses. 
Take your bed and clothes, a small pot, a teapot, kettle and 
coffee pot, your wagon will sell for more here than it cost you 
there, so that you will get the use of it for naught. If that part 
was as much better to live in, than this is better than that, I 
would take my bundle on my back and walk there. 

As I can’t be with you, may God be with you is the prayer 
of your brother.

Jones County, Ga., Clinton, 

June 6, 1&22. 


The Journey 

On the road coming down from Virginia to Georgia we might 
see a caravan of twelve or more covered wagons drawn by four 
to six mules or oxen. Numerous boys and men, white and black 
on horses and on foot accompanied this caravan. They were 
dressed in buckskin breeches, coonskin caps, leather jackets, and 
home-made boots. The men and older boys each carried a gun 
on his shoulder, many of them had hunting knives in their belts, 
and a few carried the crude single-shot pistols with flint locks 
which were the best weapons to be had at that time. 

In the wagons were the furniture, household equipment, and 
supplies for food for the eight or ten families who made up 
the party, each family having a wagon to itself in which rode 
the women and children. One wagon had hogs, chickens, and 
geese as progenitors of a well-stocked barnyard down in Jones 


36 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


County. Another wagon was filled with food for the animals, 
with seed corn, oats, wheat, rye and other seed for next year’s 
crop. 

The last wagons were followed by livestock driven by Ne¬ 
groes. These cattle were necessary for milk and food, mutton 
and beef for subsistence of the travelers. 

These wagons were especially built of seasoned hickory and 
oak woods for this journey and they were large and roomy. 
Each one had a canvas tightly stretched over bent oak splints 
which had been well coated with beeswax to keep out the rain. 

These settlers had heard of the rich virgin lands of middle 
Georgia with woods filled with game, streams filled with fish, and 
abundant new lands to grow crops; the picture was not over¬ 
drawn. After the Revolutionary War ended in 1782, there was a 
period of restlessness; the people were eager for new experi¬ 
ences and adventures. Some Virginians had lost what they had 
when the British had come in before Cornwallis had surrendered 
to Washington’s forces at Yorktown. To these people the 
thought of making a fresh start in a new country made a strong 
appeal. They had heavy taxes to bear at that time, too, and 
perhaps this was one motive for moving. This is a quote from 
a letter written by a Virginia minister to his uncle in Scotland: 
“The taxes seem to be increasing and lie very heavy upon men 
of property. Besides the land tax, everything they have is taxed 
ad valorem. Every negro slave from 16 years onward is taxed 
20 shillings annually, and 10 shillings for children from the 
moment they are born.” 

No wonder, when they heard of the virgin soils in Georgia 
where crops could be grown at a profit, the mild climate and the 
lands which could be had for little more than the trouble of stak¬ 
ing them out, this fever to emigrate spread through eastern Vir¬ 
ginia, and North Carolina. 

At the head of the caravan rode the guide, who had already 
scouted out a route for the party, and the safety and the success 
of the expedition was his responsibility. 

About three months was spent on the way, for traveling was 
slow. In rainy weather the roads were impassable and the cara¬ 
van camped until the roads had dried. There were very few 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


37 


bridges, the rivers were crossed on flat-bottomed ferry boats, 
pushed by men with long poles. It required a long time to make 
a crossing. If streams became flooded, another long wait had to 
be endured to let the floods subside. The men would fish and 
hunt at this time to augment their food supplies. If they came 
to an inn at dusk they would sleep there, but most of the time 
they slept in the great strong wagons with the horses picketed 
around, and two men keeping watch with their dogs. 

These sturdy travelers knew what hardships, fatigue and 
privation meant. The men had been soldiers in the recent Revo¬ 
lutionary War and were used to hardships, but the women and 
children must have been martyrs. 

In the swampy places the road was laid with logs crosswise, 
side by side and this was known as the “corduroy road.” The 
wagon wheels went over this and rough going it was. Progress 
was slow and cautious, as an animal might easily step in a hole 
where logs were broken or decayed and sustain a broken leg or 
a wrenched shoulder. This would have been a serious conse¬ 
quence for the success of the party. Some roads were only prim¬ 
itive trails marked by wheel tracks of preceding emigrants, and 
there were many obstructions, but the caravan pushed on until 
it reached the new counties of Middle Georgia. Often the young 
people came and many times the older members of the family 
came, too. 

Most of the settlers in Jones County came from Virginia and 
North Carolina, however the records show that Maryland, Con- 
necticutt, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and South Carolina 
people settled here, too, in the early years. 

(Excerpts from “An Intimate Family 
History” by Hutchings.) 

Many families settled in Hancock, Washington, Wilkes and 
older counties, and as Jones, Jasper, Twiggs and Wilkinson were 
organized they came in and settled here. 

Growth 

As step by step the Indians were pushed back the speculators, 
outlaws and undesirables began to move on to newly opened 
lands the law-abiding settlers set up the county government.

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Land lotteries were held in which the Revolutionary soldiers or 
their widows could have one draw. The soldier with a wife and 
children could have two draws. 

Many of the early comers to the county were men of small 
property, although there were from the first a few families of 
means. Now wealthy slave owners from the Carolinas and Vir¬ 
ginia began to move into Jones County and build fine homes. 
These planters bought up the small farms and soon owned 
thousands of acres of land and many slaves. The big house was 
always in a grove of trees, and back farther were the slaves’ 
cabins. There were the hostlers, cooks, waiting maids, personal 
attendants and the busy mistress of the household in her crisp 
taffetas. Afar off could be seen a herd of cows grazing in the 
pastures. There was a dairy house in the yard, the big garden 
for vegetables, the border of boxwood and the flower garden. 
Cotton was king and the slave-time aristocrat came into being. 
At the gate was the family carriage with the ebony driver. There 
were spinning wheels and candle molds. The smokehouse held 
a year’s supply of meat. There were the wine cellars and the 
tester beds, the mahogany tables and the highboy. 

“The culture of Georgia was intensely English as was that of 
Virginia whence it was derived. Cotton and slaves were the 
measure of wealth. Slaves had been brought to Jamestown by 
the Dutch and later by the New England ship Captains and the 
trade went on with Africa for more than a hundred years. In 
the North it was never profitable; the negro was not by tem¬ 
perament suited to the northern climate or to do skilled work 
in shops and mills. The agricultural south suited him admirably. 
The work was mostly manual, uncomplicated and routine; plow¬ 
ing, planting, cultivating and picking covered a period from Feb¬ 
ruary to December. It was then believed that there could never 
be enough cotton grown for the world. The ships were anchored 
in the harbors waiting for the white bales.” (Dr. Hutchings, 
“Intimate Family History.”) 

Social gatherings to the “infairs,” and to the christenings 
ceremony were looked forward to. There was the church con¬ 
ference where the brother was tried for breaking the rules of 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


the church. Not only was he dismissed but was given a lecture, 
there before the congregation, to take with him. 

Clinton was growing steadily and along about 1840 she could 
boast of a three-story brick courthouse, a stone jail, a tailor 
shop, photo gallery, livery stables, several bars, two big frame 
hotels, Masonic lodge house of brick, stores and shops for mak¬ 
ing gins, farm wagons, tools, and the widely known Slade’s 
Female Academy, a boys’ school, a Methodist and a Baptist 
church, a bowling alley and skating rink. 

Daguerreotypes and tin types made in this photograph gallery 
in Clinton are still in the possession of many families in Jones 
County and some of the pictures in this book are reproduced 
from these. 

Small communities sprang up at the crossroads in different 
parts of the county, at which place a church, a school and store 
came to be located. Some of these were, Blountsville, Fortville, 
Grab-all and others. 

These settlers were not afraid of work, and while some had 
been to college, they didn’t value words for charm as much as 
for the simple honesty and truth which they contained. Culture 
grew slowly, but it came with the years, the churches and schools. 

The first courts were held in the William Jones house which 
is about five miles northwest of Clinton in Finney’s District. This 
house built in 1803 is still standing and in good condition. 

In the beginning Albany was just a crossroads and in 1809 
named Clinton, which was just a red dusty country village, with 
rambling and spacious houses. There were smiling darkies, the 
preachers, the gamblers, the drunkards and later the aristocratic 
planters. 

In a few years Clinton was a place of culture and trade, with 
her excellent Female Seminary and Day’s Boys’ School. The 
homes were the typical ante-bellum home with white columns 
and the boxwood gardens, surrounded by groves of large trees. 
The new brick courthouse on a square in the center was the 
center of the town’s activities. These grounds had many shade 
trees, and an iron fence. In the summer afternoons men often 
sat under the shade of these trees and played backgammon and 


40 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


discussed politics and farming, horse racing and the problems of 
that time. 

There were the offices of three doctors around the square, 
and several lawyers, some outstanding. One, Alfred Iverson, Sr. 
became a Senator of the United States. James H. Blount was a 
member of Congress for twenty years and the Comers, James, 
Anderson and Hugh M. were all progressive leaders in the new 
county. Some of the famous speakers in the old courthouse were: 
Robert Toombs, Alexander Stephens, Mark Cooper, Colquitt, 
Benjamin Hill and others. In 1825 the Marquis de Lafayette 
and party came to Clinton. (See account in another chapter.) 
There were many red letter days and not the least of these were 
the circus, the theatrical players and musicians who came an¬ 
nually. 

The land on which the first court house stands was purchased 
by Joshua Davis, Sr., about 1795 and sold in part to William 
Jones, Sr., father of Col. William Jones, b. 1799 d. 1822, and 
buried at the family graveyard. His brother James Jones (1774- 
1828) also buried there, and William Davis, brother of Joshua 
Davis, Sr., owned part of this land. (Finney’s District, G.M.D. 
299). 

The house was built in 1803 by William Jones, Sr. and Wil¬ 
liam Davis (bro. of Joshua Davis, Sr. and father of Joshua 
Davis, Jr.). 

The place was sold to Abner H. Flewellen and wife Nancy 
Davis Flewellen (1802-1832) after the death of Col. William 
Jones in 1822. 

On July 4, 1837 Flewellen’s sold the house to Joshua Davis, 
Jr. Joshua Davis, Jr. sold it to James Green August 23, 1837. 
Other William Davis lands were sold to James Davis on Mar. 
15, 1827. These include lands of James Pleasant, Pelinnie (dau. 
mar. Bolden Morris, Sylvania, Ga.), and'Elizabeth (Betty) 
who mar. Joshua Davis, Jr. Ill as well as Thomas Jefferson 
Green (Wiley Green’s grandfather), and Benedictine, Sam 
Green’s father as well as Perry’s, George’s, and Frank’s father. 

William Green sold the Jones Place to J. B. Green, Jan. 17, 
1905. J. B. Green sold the Jones house to his bro. Col. Samuel 
Gordon Green October 25, 1920, the present owner.

en pegs. The original weather boarding, walls, ceiling, floors, 
doors and windows are now in use. The nails that are in it were 
made by hand in a forge shop. The brick for the basement and 
chimney were all made and kiln-dried on the place. The roof of 
cedar shingles put on with pegs lasted one hundred and eight 
years. The granite steps were hewn out of native granite near 
Clinton. The first courthouse of Jones County still stands and 
is in good repair, the picture shows it as it is today. 

It was in this house that the plan of the Battle of Sunshine 
Church was made and no doubt, Gen. Alfred Iverson and Col. 
Breckinridge were present, and also Gen. Joe Wheeler. 

From this old house, men have gone out to fight in every war. 

When Sherman came through in Nov., 1864, J. B. Green, Sr. 
then a boy of six or seven, frightened at the noise and approach 
of the enemy, got an old gun with two hammers and a battered 
broken barrel and crawled back of the stone steps. Several Yan¬ 
kee soldiers saw him and walked up with bayonets, to arrest 
him, but then seeing that he was only a child said, “Come out 

you-rebel.” The boy stood defiantly and held to the old gun, 

that wouldn’t even shoot and said, “I will keep my gun, sir.” 
And he did, much to the amusement of the Yankees. 

Strange to say the very first courthouse is still sturdy and 
durable, now occupied by the J. A. Smith family, relatives of 
Col. J. B. Green the owner, and the two other courthouses built 
have entirely disappeared, one of brick and one a frame building 
both built in Clinton. The present courthouse at Gray was the 
fourth one used and is in use at present (built in 1905). 

Col. S. G. Green of Alexandria, Va. says that the William 
Jones of this house was related to the James Jones for whom 
Jones County was named. He was also a relative of the late Dr. 
Jones of Clinton and Macon (Mrs. Lamar Jones’ husband), and 
related to William Davis. This line of Jones came originally 
from Warren County, N. C. and later of Wilkes, Elbert, Green 
and Baldwin counties. This line was also closely related to Col. 
James Jones who died in 1777 at Warrenton, N. C. and of 
James Jones and Col. Wm. H. Jones who are buried at the 
Davis-Green homeplace (first courthouse). (Records of house

recorded at the courthouse Deed Book N, Folio 301, and Vol. 
ZZ Deeds, pp. 334-338.) 

This house was occupied by William Jones from 1803-1823. 
In Book “D” 1824 an inventory of the Wm. Jones estate gives 
many interesting items, such as: five dozen sitting chairs, sofa, 
piano, carpets, a watch valued at 250.00, clock, $100.00, silver, 
pewter, china and fifty-one slaves. 


Chapter V. 

WAR OF 1812 

Jones County was barely five years old, and the Indians were 
still on the outskirts of the county, when the fear of another 
war loomed on the horizon. 

“The people in the counties between the Oconee and Ocmulgee 
rivers were thrown into great excitement. Word had come that 
the runaway slaves and the Seminoles from Florida were aiding 
the British against Georgia, and that they were ravishing the 
coastal towns. Napoleon and his armies were spreading fear 
and consternation in Europe, which seemed to spread on to the 
colonies in the West. Fear seemed to permeate the Creek nation 
and they would fall for any cult presented to them. Britain 
realizing this, stirred up troubles among the Indians through 
Tecumseh. Tecumseh came down from the Great Lakes region 
into the Creek nation with the Shawnee tribe. He tried con¬ 
verting the disgruntled Indians and some of their leaders to join 
his war party. It is said that about nine-tenths of the Indians 
were against the Americans.” (History of Wilkinson Co. by 
Victor Davidson.) 

“Fresh from the battlefields of Europe the red coats came 
into Georgia through the Gulf ports as well as Atlantic ports. 
British troops were landed on Cumberland Island and rumors 
were flying that Mobile and New Orleans were under attack. 
David Blackshear and reinforcements were sent to Darien and 
to Sapelo Island. The Indians grew impatient and civil war 


44 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


broke out among the Creeks before the English arrived and 
hundreds of braves rallied to the British side. Georgians realized 
the peril which confronted them and Gov. Mitchell hastily con¬ 
structed forts along the Ocmulgee river.” Nearest forts in Jones 
County were, Camp Hope and Fort Hawkins. (History of Wil¬ 
kinson Co. by Victor Davidson.) 

Major Andrew Jackson was in command of the southern 
states. At this time Gov. D. B. Mitchell resigned and Judge 
Peter Early holding court at Clinton, was informed that he was 
elevated from Judge of the Ocmulgee Circuit to the Governor¬ 
ship. Clinton and western Jones County was one of the most 
exposed frontiers in all Georgia. 

Andrew Jackson with Cocke, east and west Tennesseeans were 
sent to help Georgia against the Indians. Had the Indians waited 
to join with the British forces, history would perhaps have a 
different story to tell. Gen. Jackson with about one thousand 
men came down through Georgia, passed through Jasper Co. 
(Jackson Springs, there is named for him), on down through 
what is now Round Oak and Clinton to North Highlands to a 
place still known as Jackson Spring Road, where he camped. 

In the summer of 1812, Major Gen. Floyd’s army of 950 
men and 400 friendly Indians assembled at Camp Hope (in 
Jones County) and crossed the river and drove the Indian allies 
of Britain northwest, joined by Gen. Jackson and Gen. Coffee, 
two battles were fought in west Georgia and Alabama. During 
the latter part of 1814 the English were expected to attack on 
the south at several points. Gen. Jackson was appointed in com¬ 
mand of forces at New Orleans and on August 4, made his 
headquarters at Mobile. Gen. Floyd was stationed at Savannah. 
The state frontier was defended by Gen. David Blackshear who 
had been holding the hostile Indians in check with his army. In 
October the Secretary of War ordered Gov. Early to organize, 
arm and equip 2500 militia to join Gen. Jackson at Mobile. The 
regiment detached from Major General Daniels’ Division, com¬ 
manded by Col. E. Wimberly, including two companies from 
Brigadier Gen. Lee’s Brigade in Jones County and a company 
of artillery commanded by Captain James Saffold of Clinton, 
Ga., Jones County. They were furnished arms and provisions 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


45 


by the U. S. contractor, Farish Carter, at Camp Hope. Major 
Phil Cook inspected the detachment and Major General McIn¬ 
tosh and Brig. Gen. David Blackshear were appointed com¬ 
manders. 

Jones County’s troops went on to join with Jackson’s forces 
and to garrison the frontiers to hold the savage Indians in check. 
They were dressed in coonskin caps with the tails hanging in 
the back and the coon’s face as a sort of visor in front. They 
had on leather hunting shirts, home-woven jeans trousers with 
leather boots and moccasins made of soft deer-skins. Each man 
carried a long flint-lock rifle with a powder horn, a bar of lead 
and a bullet mold. His rations consisted of dried deer meat and 
rockahominy (beat up and parched Indian corn). The settlers 
had learned from the Indians to carry this food, for when In¬ 
dians were on the warpath they invariably carried this. Each 
soldier carried a flask of corn whiskey, which was used for med¬ 
icine. 

These were tough men for they were used to privations and 
they were deadly shots with those old muzzle loaders. They 
were lightly equipped and could travel many miles in a day. 
These were the men who rallied to Georgia’s defense against 
powerful England with her mighty army and navy. This was 
their first war for independent America. Those were exciting 
days. There were troops on the march, prancing horses, the 
music of fife and drum and couriers galloping from Milledgeville 
and Fort Hawkins to carry news. As the troops came toward 
Clinton they were cheered on by the thought of warm suppers 
and dry clothes. Dr. Bowen and Dr. Hamilton cared for the 
sick, and the old veterans of the War of 1776 came out to see 
the youngsters off. These old men knew what war was, and they 
prayed for an early victory. Jones County’s farmers had supplies 
of deer meat, dried, pounded and parched meal, warm skins and 
other supplies which they rode in to Clinton to offer to those 
going away. The wives sewed far into the night so that the de¬ 
fenders might have warm clothing.

It was a sight to remember to see the Indian Chiefs followed 
by fiercer looking warriors in full war paint and feathers coming 
to a council meeting at Fort Hawkins with our leaders and offi¬ 
cers. Finally the news came that the British were bringing a 
force by boat up the St. Mary’s river plundering and killing. 
Our men had hidden in the moss draped swamps and they 
poured their deadly lead into the boats until the British with¬ 
drew. As soon as the Indians heard of this and similar victories 
they quieted down. After the British were driven from Georgia, 
our men toiled painfully up from the coast sick from fevers 
contracted in the swamps. Some came home on furlough to rest 
and plant crops, but they could not be mustered out as the war 
dragged on, as wars do, and it was 1817 before they could 
settle down to a peaceful life again. 

In the War of 1812 the Battle of New Orleans was fought 
two weeks after the war was over, Jan. 8, 1815, because news 
traveled so slowly. News reached Fort Hawkins by a line of 
runners from Mobile on Jan. 26, 1815 and 19 guns were fired 
at the fort in celebration, these guns were heard in Clinton and 
there was great rejoicing. This victory showed the British that 
American riflemen were among the world’s best shots. A sabre 
factory had been set up at Milledgeville, the capital, during this 
war. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


47 


In 1817, Gen. Andrew Jackson was ordered to take his Militia 
into Florida and to end the Indian menace. He seized the Span¬ 
ish Capitol at Pensacola and killed two Indian leaders. He had 
the noted munitions leader, Arbuthnot hanged. English adven¬ 
turers got out of Florida and Pres. Monroe bought Florida 
from Spain. In 1819 Gen. Andrew Jackson was named the first 
military Governor of Florida. At this time John Clark was the 
Governor of Georgia. 

About this time the center of the Creek government was lo¬ 
cated at Indian Springs. Alarming reports came in that the 
Creeks were on the warpath. There were rumors of raids over 
on Jones County’s side of the boundary and the cattle were being 
driven off. The Governor sent Gen. Everard Hamilton and a 
strong body of troops to Clinton and soon the danger was re¬ 
duced. At this time Clinton was the last outpost and when a 
traveler went west and passed the Johnson House, he saw no 
more stores, towns or churches until he reached the Gulf or the 
Mississippi river. Clinton was the last post office in the south¬ 
western portion of our country. Here trading and farming 
flourished and the days were very busy. From 1821 to 1826 
Macon and Columbus started on their way up, and Clinton was 
no longer the last outpost. 

These Indian trails across Jones County, “Tom’s Trail,” “Old 
Horse Trail,” “Cheehaw Trail” and “Old Indian Path,” were 
constantly being used by whites and Indians as that was the only 
way to move merchandise. Men in Jones County with energy 
and ability made money fast in that period. 

Now that the War of 1812 was over, the people in Jones 
County began a period of growth, the land was cleared and the 
planting of crops expanded. More and better homes were built, 
roads and bridges were made for easier traveling and the people 
looked forward to peace. The only cloud on the horizon was 
the fact that the Indian problems were far from settled. 


Chapter VI. 


PEACE AND PLENTY 
1820-1860 

Prices for products grew better; cotton growing was on the 
increase and more and more slaves were brought in. There was 
more trading and a great demand for labor and overseers for 
the plantations. There was also an increased demand for more 
and better services. The saloons grew, new taverns opened, 
stores, grocery stores and there was a great need for leaders in 
every phase of development of the county and state. 

As in all periods of boom, spiritual development did not keep 
pace with the economic development, and preachers were calling 
the people to come back to church and to fulfill their obligations 
as Christians, but the plea went unheeded by many. The Vir¬ 
ginians and Carolinians who settled in Jones were most inter¬ 
ested in educating their children and until academies were estab¬ 
lished every home had a tutor. Because of their interest and 
their belief in education most of these settlers held important 
positions in the county. 

Family life was a community interest as was the custom in 
colonial life. After a “house raising,” the young couple opened 
their new home for a “house warming.” It was a time for cele¬ 
bration. There was hard liquor for the men and wine for the 
ladies. They all brought presents for the couple. These gifts 
were skillets, powder horns, coonskin caps, knitted woolen socks 
and gloves, buckskin moccasins for the bride, a leather shot- 
pouch for the groom, a tinder-box, flint and steel, a three-legged 
spider, a saw, a broad axe, adz, a froe, chisel, plane, coverlets, 
quilts, and many other useful articles. 

Many of the people lived on small farms and were the salt of 
the earth. Their houses were simple and were built on the rivers 
and at the crossroads; and the people did their own work. The 
women carded the wool and cotton into small rolls with hand

carders and wove the cloth at home, which took much time and 
patience. Many families in Jones still have these old spinning 
wheels used by their grandmothers. The girls’ dresses were 
starched with starch made from whole wheat flour or wheat 
bran. The men wore plain jeans and shoes made from hides 
tanned in the dug-out troughs at Morgan’s tan-yard near Clin¬ 
ton. These leathers were stretched and dried and dressed by 
hand. One pair of shoes a year was about all an adult had. Chil¬ 
dren went bare-foot most of the time. The traveling shoemaker 
would make periodic visits. He would take a piece of white pine 
board, and stand the person flat-footed on the board, mark a 
line in front of the toes and one behind the heels with his big 
coarse horn-handled knife, and in due time the shoes would be 
delivered. 

Stumped toes and cracked heels in winter were always in evi¬ 
dence in country children as they walked long distances to the 
log cabin schools. They wore coarse clothes spun and woven at 
home. Towels, tablecloths and shirts were made the same way. 
There was a shelf for the wash basin outside for young and old, 
with soft home made soap in a gourd. Overcoats were unknown, 
and the few capes and cloaks there were, made truly a family 
heirloom. Usually there was a woolen shawl for mother. These 
home made clothes were warm and enduring, if not beautiful. 

The generation of the 1830’s to the 1860’s was lived more 
leisurely than now. There were fewer distractions; the telephone, 
the radio, the newspapers with screaming headlines, and TV were 
all unknown. News traveled slowly; people had the time and 
leisure to cultivate friendships, to pay visits to relatives and 
friends. The evenings were spent in conversation, and the art 
of being entertaining was esteemed and cultivated. Hospitality 
was a cardinal virtue, and though it was sometimes barbaric in 
its lavishness, nevertheless, it indicates the interest people had 
in social gatherings. 

The life of the southern planter in the golden 1850’s could 
not be equaled anywhere. Perhaps the life of the English gentry 
was as near it as anything else. There were horses and horse 
racing; people went to Milledgeville to concerts, there were 
balls, hunting, spend the day, week or month parties. The car- 


50 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


riages with outriders and silver trimmings went to resorts. If 
cotton sold well, some planters would go to New York. Some 
would lose what they had in poker games in the old New York 
Hotel. If the planter hit it lucky, he would come home loaded 
with dresses for his wife and daughters and bring a fine piece of 
furniture for the house on the plantation. 

The planters’ houses were large with many well-trained serv¬ 
ants; cooks were only changed when decreptitude made it neces¬ 
sary; and one or two understudies were available who had been 
in training for years. The social system of the planter class was 
in terms of “we.” They were gregarious in their tastes and 
dearly loved picnics, barbecues, dances or any excuse to get to¬ 
gether, and nothing was easier. 

At the dances every man present was expected to share his 
attentions among the ladies, paying special attention to a guest 
from a distance. He would ask the host for an introduction if 
that had not been attended to, and invite her to dance. To have 
danced more than twice in an evening with one girl, even if en¬ 
gaged to her, was considered rudeness to others, and it subjected 
the offenders to criticism. It was the duty of everyone to enhance 
the pleasure of others present in every way possible. Any dis¬ 
position to monopolize the company of one, or for couples to 
leave the room except during intermission was considered bad 
taste. At barbecues and picnics it was equally expected of every 
man to circulate among the group, to say at least a few words 
of greeting to everyone he knew, giving particularly courteous 
attention to the dowagers and matrons, and to be introduced to 
the newcomers. This obligation having been fulfilled, the young 
man was free to spend the time with the people of his own age. 

“Friendship and courtesy and a sincere desire to make himself 
agreeable to others was the spirit which animated every youth, 
it having been instilled into him by precept and example of his 
elders. 

“Events of the day were not crowded out of mind by those of 
tomorrow but discussed and related for a long time. When 
family groups met around the fireside for an evening, the con¬ 
versation naturally drifted to subjects of common interest. After 
the news of the day had been related, the newest fashions criti-

cized by the ladies, even as now, and the men had talked of 
horses, politics, crops and the price of cotton, anecdotes con¬ 
cerning earlier days and of their fathers and grandfathers were 
often related and kept alive. Past practical jokes were told again 
and laughed over. Traditions followed the actual memory of 
the events as the witnesses passed away, but none of the interest 
was lost. 

“The older members took pains to tell the young men the 
history of the family and adjured them to marry well and main¬ 
tain the name from extinction and to carry on the worthy tradi¬ 
tions of the past. 

“These folks were hard working, self-reliant people who car¬ 
ried not only their own burdens, but also helped those who 
couldn’t carry theirs and contributed to the welfare of their 
country. They lived at home and with their neighbors, and when 
the end came, they died respected and esteemed. One could ask 
no better heritage. 

“Heredity is an opportunity, not a blind fate. Each individual 
of good family stock is endowed with many potentialities for

good, for mediocrity and for evil; far more than in a lifetime 
can be developed or even cultivated. Which of them he exploits 
and which are permitted to lie dormant is his own responsibility 
and that of his parents. From a piece of good steel may be made 
a fine and delicate instrument of precision or just a common tool; 
but unlike the passive steel, an individual may determine, within 
the range of his talents, what his future shall be and what sort 
of man or woman that one will become.” 

(Dr. R. H. Hutchings “An Intimate Family History.”) 

Hospitality abounded, there were always relatives visiting, as 
well as beaux, friends and travelers. My grandfather had built 
a granite wall around a substantial area for his family cemetery, 
but so many relatives and in-laws came to visit and died there, 
that he had to make it a rule to bury them on the outside of 
the wall, else the enclosure reserved for his own family would 
have been filled. 

Every woman rode horseback, and had a riding skirt made of 
strong cloth with a belt, but open to the hem. This skirt pro¬ 
tected the dress underneath. In the early days the women rode 
sidesaddles and mounted from horseblocks found at every home, 
church, store and school. 

Grandmother must have had a hard time getting feather beds, 
bed linens, china, silver spoons, and quilts for the newlyweds as 
their lawful marriage portion. She remembered how her parents 
had given her these things and also a horse, bridle and saddle, 
a suit of furniture and a woman servant to help her and to nurse 
the children who came later. 

Often we find a Southern planter’s family in the ante-bellum 
times where the mother with as many as eleven children, could 
manage the house, the servants, and spin, sew and weave very 
skillfully. Her husband had the plantation, the grain mill, the 
sawmill, the cotton gin and was busy as a provider for his family 
and slaves. The mother went from house to garden, to the milk 
dairy, the poultry house, the looms in the spinning house, and to 
the smoke house. She had to see that the geese were plucked at 
the right time to have feathers for beds and pillows. There were 
pigs in the pens fattening. “Cover lids” were woven at home

and rugs and quilts worked on in summer and in winter. Life 
indeed was busy and she showed great managerial ability. 

For illumination there was at first the pine knots as torches, 
then candles, then tallow oil lamps. Cooking over the fireplace 
was a tiresome affair and backbreaking. The oven, often made 
of brick was a clumsy affair. There were three-legged spiders 
for bread too. Sweet potatoes and green corn were roasted in 
the ashes. Turkeys and venison were roasted on spits before the 
glowing hickory coals. The pit for barbecues was dug out of 
doors with hickory sticks laid across it to hold the pig, which 
was slowly cooked over the coals for fifteen to twenty-four 
hours. Beef, kid and lamb were also barbecued this way. Season¬ 
ings made from apple vinegar, home-grown pepper, butter, cat¬ 
sup, and sugar cane syrup made a sauce fit for a king. 

The daughters were taught to sew and cook, spin, weave, 
make butter, and to do fancy work such as knitting, embroider¬ 
ing and crocheting. It was not unusual for girls to marry at 
fourteen and fifteen and at thirty, one was an old maid. There 
was no work outside of the home for a woman to do. When 
northern women began to come south to tutor and teach in the 
schools, it was indeed a new era. 

People who go to Europe now are not nearly so excited as peo¬ 
ple were then, who went across the state to visit relatives, and on 
arriving see the kinnery swarming out on the porch to greet 
them. The smell of the good supper with the beaten biscuits, 
country ham with red gravy, a dish of chicken and dumplings, 
and a peach pot pie smothered in cream and sugar, was some¬ 
thing never to be forgotten. 

In summer, wagon loads of ripe red watermelons and musk 
melons were put into the cool dark cellar where black and, white 
alike had the liberty to eat them as long as they lasted. There 
were large families, and visiting was the rule and constant, espe¬ 
cially in the times of festivities and bereavement. There were 
always plenty to laugh with the happy, and plenty to weep with 
the bereaved. 

The old time country meeting house had preaching once a 
month and everybody was anxious to go. The preacher got little 
pay and expected little, but he preached just as long. The people

brought him supplies from their farms, hams, cloth for his 
clothes, and leather for his shoes. The children and their negra 
nurses went supplied with teacakes and biscuits, a glass and a 
pitcher to bring water from the spring. A big soft quilt was 
spread in the shade for the babies. The men and boys sat on 
one side of the church and the girls and ladies on the other. The 
children were brought up to reverence the aged and wait on the 
older folks and one rarely ever heard of the old being neglected. 

Augusta was the great market place for Jones Countians. 
Cotton and wheat were hauled by wagon teams. It took five or 
six days driving from four to six mules to make the round trip. 
The men camped out, taking food and cover. After the cotton 
and wheat were sold, they loaded the wagons with sugar, salt, 
iron, black molasses, calico, nutmegs and spices, a piece of silk 
or velvet or kid slippers for the girls and mother, and some¬ 
times a real doll bought in Charleston, S. C. was brought home 
and carefully hidden until Christmas. 

This Christmas celebration of 1840 written for the Jones 
County news in 1908 by S. H. Griswold tell us of those early 
days. 

“Christmas is almost here, and it brings to mind how it was 
celebrated in Clinton during the days of prosperity, when it had 
stores, hotels and as fine a citizenship as was in Georgia. Old 
John, the serving man around the lot, had his toddy and egg¬ 
nog, as did old Betsy, the cook. With a smack of the lips and a 
pulling of the forelock and a bow by the former and a courtsey 
by the latter, accompanied by a, “Thanke Sir,” made the old 
Negroes feel good and it put Christmas in their bones. On one 
Christmas Eve about 1840, the young men of the town sat up 
for a good time. Old Jim was a free negro who did odd jobs 
among them. He was hired to haul a good load of hickory wood 
and put it in the street in front of the courthouse. This the boys 
had set on fire and they sat in chairs around it. Some were Dick 
Hutchings, R. W. Bonner, Real Gibson, Jeff Williams, George 
Cook, Tom Bowen, Abb Barron, Greeb Tye, Tom Morris, 
Perry Finney, one or two of the Barrons and others whom I 
cannot recall. They sat there singing songs, telling tales, playing 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


55 


pranks on each other, shooting firecrackers and an occasional 
gun. 

“Of course, the ‘Oh be joyful,’ was among them, in the form 
of a big pot of whiskey stew, the concoction of which was at¬ 
tended to by Dick Hutchings. It was a stew right - - - composed 
of many spices, the best of whiskey and other things. Over on 
the hill by the old schoolhouse, were Sam Johnson, Frank Tye 
and others of the younger set, driving holes in the ground, plac¬ 
ing powder therein, tamping it in tight and at intervals touching 
them off, producing cannon-like explosions. Occasionally as the 
night went on, and the fun waxed hot, calls were made for the 
stew and merry got the boys. Around the fire they sat and let 
the fun go round. Bill Whidby would sing ‘Liza Jane’ and Greeb 
Tye with his deep bass voice would join in the chorus, ‘Oh, Eliza, 
little Liza Jane, Oh, little Liza, little Liza Jane.’ 

“After each song the stew was passed around; each one took 
a drink and gave a toast or told a story. It went from song to 
story and everybody was happy and in a good humor. None 
meant to do any harm. This was just among the boys. Old Jim 
stood by the boys and drank when they did but with less restraint 
until the early hours of the morning. He was drunk and leaning 
against the courthouse fence. Dick Hutchings asked, ‘Jim how 
about the stew and spice, is it good?’ ‘Yes, Boss,’ was the reply, 
‘it’s mighty good but its got the best of me,’ as he took a firmer 
grip on the fence to steady himself. At daylight they went home 
to get some sleep. 

“But what of Christmas Day and the big dinners? Such feasts 
were never equalled in city hotels or restaurants. They had tur¬ 
key, duck, opossum, ham, pork, nearly all of the meat and the 
game to be had in the country, with salads and vegetables, mince 
pies, puddings, fruit cakes, sillabub, wines, nuts and raisins. The 
dinner was cooked by old time negro women, directed or taught 
by their mistresses. The food was not cooked in stoves but in 
old fashioned ovens, pots in big broad fireplaces, where hickory 
or oak wood had burned to coals which were heaped upon the 
oven lids. Madame Parrish’s Christmas dinners were among 
the most noted. They were elegant and toothsome beyond 
description. Each family in the county had its Christmas dinner. 


56 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


The children and negroes had their presents, the elder ones 
their eggnog, and then came the dinner and social pleasures. It 
was truly a land of plenty, peace and happiness, where neighbors 
loved neighbors and all were prosperous. The minister and his 
family were always with them, and they were remembered with 
a full share of everything good, and many gave thanks to the 
Great Giver, with him, in his blessing before the meal.” 

As a whole the people were well off and prospered, and a 
man’s mere word was his bond. There was no going to the banks 
for money. Neighbors lent it to each other and often never took 
a note. You, who have been born since the war, cannot realize 
what a prosperous and glorious community Jones County was 
under the old reign. It was then that catching folks, Christmas 
Gif’ was used by the negroes, and they usually received the 
gift. 

Never should the mammies of the slavery days be forgotten. 
She usually prided herself on coming from Virginia and she 
always fixed her head dress turban-shaped, and wore a big white 
apron covering her ample body. She ruled the children of the 
house as much or more than their mother and she could express 
herself by looks and gestures when displeased. She taught her 
wards table manners, courtesies and what to wear and when. She 
sang to the smaller children, bathed them and tucked them in bed 
at night, loved them and helped bring up the large family until 
all were about grown. She it was who tied a cord about the 
children’s necks with a little bag of assafoetida to keep diseases 
away, and she also knew how to make warts disappear. To these 
faithful mammies of the old South, I pay tribute to their pa¬ 
tience and fidelity and to their appetizing cooking. When she 
grew old, the family looked after her and saw that she was 
cared for. 

Weddings were big affairs with the well-to-do. There were 
usually three days of festivities, and one had a different dress 
for each day. In this account of a wedding which took place in 
Jones County in 1858 there was a caterer named Horn who was 
in charge. He came on Friday night to begin baking for the 
reception on Tuesday night. The mother’s bedroom was the 
meat room. At the ends of the arms of a cross of tables were a 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


57 


ham, turkey, a roast pig with a red apple in his mouth and a leg 
of lamb. Along the tables were plates of sliced meats, pickles, 
beaten biscuits, salads and condiments. But the dining room, “the 
sweets room,” was the crowning glory. Over the table was hung 
a large wreath full of candles. On the center of the table was 
the four-tiered wedding cake, surmounted by figures of the bride 
and groom, and embossed all over with pairs of doves. All down 
the sides of the table were servings of syllabub, pound cake, 
compotes of red gelatine and mounds of whipped cream and 
nuts. On each side of the bridal cake was a fountain of spun 
candy, the wonder of all. On the sideboard were gin, brandy 
peaches, rum and loaf sugar brought from Charleston or Au¬ 
gusta, and the toddy stick. The white sugar was encased in a 
beautiful snowy cone wrapped in thick bluish-white papers. 

The bride wore an underskirt woven of grass to make her 
skirt stand out properly. The back room was locked while the 
guests assembled and was opened only as the guests came down 
the stairs. The house was lighted by large swinging lamps. Flow¬ 
ers and candles were everywhere. The house was crowded with 
guests and the house of Madame Parrish and Gibson’s tavern 
were reserved for the overflow of out-of-town guests. 

Neighbors and relatives assisted in carrying out the plans. 
The lovely old brocade wedding gown which had been worn by 
the bride’s mother was used by the daughter, and her maids 
wore brocaded satin and carried nosegays of flowers. The happy 
pair left on the stagecoach for Augusta. 

Women wore hats or bonnets out in the sun, as a pretty white 
skin was the fashion. Any girl who went bareheaded or got 
tanned was called a “Tomboy,” not a belle. The women laced 
very tightly and it is no wonder that it was fashionable to faint 
on occasions. 

The planters had peach orchards, beehives, cane patches, pea¬ 
nuts, and everything was grown at home. Fortunes of many 
people were promoted by such thrift, economy and conservation 
of resources. Enough fruit was dried and canned in summer to 
supply the family and extras enough for every negro cabin to 
have some for winter. Except for salt, white sugar and coffee 
the family was self-sustaining. In the forties, coffee was a luxury 


58 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


only used on Sunday mornings. Brown sugar or honey was used 
for “sweetnings.” Grandmother didn’t know what a cookstove 
was. Her cranes hung in the wide chimney for the pots and 
kettles. The mistress was just as busy as her servants and she 
had all of the responsibility. She saw that the spinning wheels 
and looms went full blast all week and on Saturday afternoons 
the dogwood brush brooms were used to brush the yards clean. 
Every cabin had a clean yard and gay little flower beds of snow- 
on-the-mountain, coxcomb, phlox, rosemary, sage and heliotrope. 

The row of slaves’ houses back from the big house were filled 
with children. After the day’s work they had their sports such as 
dancing, wrestling, playing the banjo and singing their spirituals. 
The white children liked to play at the quarters and loved to 
hear tales of ’Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby as told by Aunt 
Dinah and Uncle Bill. 

The country doctor was a part of the scene and a subject on 
which reams could be written. He was truly a circulating pharm¬ 
acy. He mixed his own medicines, rolled his own pills, and inside 
of the old worn leather saddlebags would be found mustard, 
sedatives, blue mass, morphine, quinine, bandages, catnip, 
boneset, lobelia, laudanum, bayberry and gentian for making 
tinctures and many other concoctions. In his office would be the 
stern looking amputation kit carrying small, medium and large 
saws for the bones, and its tourniquet with the brass screw, the 
scalpels and probers. Here were jars of syrup for the hives, pep¬ 
permint, powdered rhubarb, syrup of squill, the small scales, the 
tile and spatula, the mortar and pestle for rolling pills wherever 
and whenever needed. There was the medicine glass with its 
measurements of teaspoons and tablespoons for taking castor 
oil and the downing of salts. Since sterilization by boiling was 
unheard of, all these instruments had wooden handles and were 
probably made ready for use by wiping with a carbolic solution. 
For colds there was the cloth soaked in tallow and turpentine 
and camphor to put on the unwilling chest. 

The doctor rode long lonesome trails on horseback in all 
kinds of weather; he delivered babies by candlelight; he made 
huge mustard plasters for pneumonia; he often sat until dawn 
to see the spark of life ebb out with the coming of the day. He 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


59 


wore leather leggings, leather jackets, handknitted gloves and 
socks. He usually took along his gun for protection. He was 
a friend and a counselor and the old country doctor was a very 
prominent figure of the ante-bellum days. 

There were no railroads here then and the stage coach drivers 
would blow on their horns to give notice of their approach. They 
also brought the mail and people hailed them with delight. At 
Clinton, Blountsville, Fortville, Graball, were stops where tav¬ 
erns accommodated the passengers and the horses could be rested 
and fed. It took at least a week to cross the state. It cost $3.00 
to ride the coach from Clinton to Milledgeville, it cost $10.00 
to go from Milledgeville to Columbus via Macon and took 22 
hours. Some coaches ran daily and some only twice weekly. It 
cost 17 cents to mail a letter to Savannah, ten cents to Milledge¬ 
ville and 5 cents to Macon. The roads were rough and any bus¬ 
iness in Savannah or Augusta meant a long and tedious journey. 

The name “Georgia Cracker” probably originated from the 
fact that as the teams were driven to markets in Augusta and 
Savannah the drivers had a way of popping and cracking the 
long whips back and forth from side to side until it sounded 
like the rapid firing of a pistol. 

There is another theory adhered to by others, that is, that in 
the 18th century English the word “Cracker,” meant a noisy 
boastful fellow. (Dictionary of the English Language by Sam’l 
Johnson, 1755.) 

There were few newspapers and people learned about their 
politics at large gatherings, where under a huge tree on a built 
up platform the leading men would talk. In this way men were 
instructed in public affairs, and they developed oratory and a 
capacity of statesmanship which made the South famous in the 
history of the country. It was the custom at these political meet¬ 
ings to cook whole pigs, lamb and beef over the barbecue pits 
glowing with red coals from the slow-burning hickory fire. 
The up-stretched pigs on the cross-wise hickory sticks were 
slowly cooking as the juices dripped into the coals underneath 
sending forth an aroma that could be smelled for a half mile. 
The stick with a mop of white cotton cloth was dipped in a sauce 
of pepper, vinegar, butter, honey and brown drippings and the 


60 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


pig was basted every few minutes. The old black iron pot of 
saYory Brunswick stew was stirred constantly as it bubbled and 
simmered slowly. Thus the South became famous for its bar¬ 
becue and to this day there are still those in Jones County who 
prepare barbecue in the same manner. 

Plantation days are gone with their pleasures, recreations, 
their toils and labors but “the good old days” will live on in the 
memories of the folks of the South. 

A Jones County Fox Hunt 

Fox hunting on horses goes a long way back in British and 
American tradition. English colonists brought this sport to this 
country. George Washington was a hard-riding American fox- 
hunter of Virginia. 

Captain Ham Ridley, Captain Charles Hamilton, John Brad¬ 
ley, the Hollands, Sam Barron, Wilkes Gresham, Joseph White 
and many others had the best fox hounds to be found in Geor¬ 
gia. The pedigree of these dogs was known and carefully kept. 
Descendants of old July, Birdsong and Maryland fox-hounds 
could and did catch the wily red fox. These men loved the sport, 
loved their dogs and had many exciting chases after the fox. 
The gray fox had been caught until there were few left, but 
these dogs had been so thoroughly and perfectly trained that 
they could count on catching a fox about every time. Before 
this, dogs seldom ever caught a red fox. These hounds had won 
a considerable reputation over the state and men from all over 
Georgia came to visit these kennels. 

This particular hunt was to start from Clinton. Red foxes, 
the best and fleetest abounded in Jones County hills and woods. 
Rules governed these races and a silver horn was offered as a 
prize for the owner of the dog that could catch the fox. The date 
was set, the hunt was advertized and invitations were sent out 
to the most prominent hunters with the best dogs in the state. 

Every arrangement was made for the visitors to have every¬ 
thing they needed for sleeping, eating and for visiting all of the 
kennels in the county. 

On the day set, the hunters came from every direction over 
the state. There were Monroe Felton and his brother from 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


61 


Marshallville, who brought a pack of fine hounds, Mike Council 
and others from Americus were there with their hounds. There 
were parties from Upson, Harris, Talbot, Monroe, Jasper, 
Twiggs and Wilkinson Counties. All brought their pedigreed 
dogs, slicked up for the hunt. Entering dogs from Jones were 
Ham Ridley, Charles Hamilton, Barrons, Greshams, Hollands, 
Whites, Jerry Loyd and Bill Brooks, Bryant’s, Bradleys and 
others. Captain Ridley and Captain Hamilton were masters of 
ceremonies, being the best posted and having the best kennels. 
There were groups of men on the street corners in Clinton talk¬ 
ing dogs, trading and buying dogs and telling tall tales about 
previous hunts. They made a colorful picture in their hunting 
clothes and boots. 

They told interesting stories of how Mr. Red Fox and Mr. 
Gray Fox would outwit the dogs and hunters. They told of how 
a fox would race to the summit of a steep cliff, then abruptly 
swing off to one side, on the very lip of the abyss and the 
hounds running pell-mell would go right over the cliff. Foxes 
were full of guile and tricks and sometimes were smarter than 
men or dogs. 

Fox hunting was no tame chase. They sped over hills and ra¬ 
vines, jumping fences with the horses’ hoofs pounding through 
the woods, with the hunter sometimes coming a cropper right 
in the middle of an icy stream. The sport of a good horse, a 
good ride, of watching trained dogs work in a run for a fox is 
all any hunter asks. 

Charles Ridley, the young nephew of old Capt. Ridley and 
young Hamilton were handsome and enthusiastic hosts, looking 
after the guests and dispensing hospitality. The Barrons were 
excellent sportsmen and added to the occasion. Old Col. Hamil¬ 
ton, tall, erect, handsome and polite, with his brother, enter¬ 
tained the visitors heartily. John Bradley with his wit and humor 
made everyone feel welcome. 

The night before the hunt the taverns and bars did a big 
business. The fiddlers played nearly all night. Games of seven- 
up were going with stakes on the side. The gaiety went on until 
morning and then a hearty breakfast was served. 

In the pre-dawn blackness the forest echoed with the impa- 


62 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


tient bark of the fox hounds. The horses tied to trees, while the 
men were loosing their yelping dogs, were neighing and kicking 
and rearing to be off. As the sky in the east turned to a cold 
orange hue, the horn sounded and the hounds were turned out, 
milling around excitedly as their noses smelled the air. They 
sped into the woods and soon there was a burst of hound music; 
the pack was off; hot on the trail. The yell by Gresham, “Tally- 
ho” (there goes the fox) was heard. Some sharp-eyed hunter 
had spied a flash of red. For miles the hunters rode to the hounds 
as they ran, doubling and circling, the wily fox trying to outwit 
his pursuers. Over hills, across valleys, through briars and 
marshes, over fences and into the thickets. A red fox usually 
runs in a more or less straight line in the pine forests, but a 
gray fox runs in wide involved circles, through swampy places 
and thickset undergrowth. A real fox hunter knows every trick 
of the fox as it holes in, or weaves inside a matted tangle of 
honeysuckle vines, wild grapes or muscadines, or climbs a sap¬ 
ling. He knows to hunt very early in the morning or on moon¬ 
light nights, and uses his horn often in long weird calls to the 
hounds. 

The sounds of the hounds’ music was a sweet symphony to the 
hunter’s ears. He could tell by the pitch when the dogs picked 
up that foxiferous smell and hit the trail; the pitch changed as 
they went jumping along, and again when a fox was treed. Dogs 
thus kept their master informed of their progress. A good 
hunter can tell his dog’s voice, and knows there are three differ¬ 
ent tones or pitch to the barking. 

At last the dogs gave a mighty shout as they threw their 
heads back, and the victory sounds went echoing through the 
woods as the fox was caught. The riders were not far behind 
and their far-flung shouts rang out with the challenge of the 
hunter’s horn. Capt. Hamilton’s dog caught the fox first and 
the prize of the beautiful silver horn was awarded him. 

There was a hunt each day for three days, so there were other 
races and other foxes were caught, and there was more fun 
and excitement. Theodore Bryant’s dogs won the second day, 
although Wilkes Gresham contended that his dogs won. Mon- 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


63 


roe Felton carried off the third prize, and was as proud as the 
proverbial peacock. 

One can see now the picture of that hunter, with his trousers 
tucked in his boots, a bright kerchief at his throat, a colorful 
coat and a rakish hat with a horn swung to his side. He looked 
gay and his spirit was gayer still. Those were great days that 
will never come again. 

Old Barns 

The old-time barn had a wide long hallway and on each side 
the stables of good fresh hay, with the smell of sweat and harness 
oil. There was a feeling of peace and honest toil. There were 
birds’ nests in a row along the hand-hewn loft’s beam edge, where 
fat gray spiders spun their silver webs. To a child that loft was a 
magic play land; dim and filled with sun-cured hay, cradling a nest 
of new-born kittens in a dark tunnel and hidden crickets chirping 
here an there. As the slanting rays of the sun peeped through 
the slats of a window, one could see the pigeons strutting back 
and forth on the rafters overhead cooing in pigeon talk. A 
flighty wasp overhead and a falling feather and a child could 
almost see a friendly witch with whom to play. 

When our old barn was torn down after a hundred years of 
use, as each peg was removed and the few blunt hand forged 
nails taken out and the heavy timbers, hewn out by hand with 
the dove-tailed joints, I wondered how the homesteaders had 
such strength; and I am sure such building is now a forgotten 
art. 

For all the scanty means of these days there were freedom 
and joy. What if the only sweetening for winter was a barrel of 
sorghum molasses? There were those who slept on feather beds 
and those who slept on straw; there were those who drove ox- 
teams and those who drove blooded horses. There were children 
who went barefoot all year and there were those who enjoyed 
such freedom only in summer. There were those who had corn- 
bread, a sweet potato and syrup in their school buckets; and 
there were those who had wheatbread and an apple. 

There were in the old days these subtle graduations of pov¬ 
erty, in the vain way of men everywhere; yet they had no sting. 


64 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


In the land of equal opportunity men prospered more or less 
according to their skill and energy. Land was plentiful and 
cheap. The woods awaited the axe and saw of all who cared to 
come. The low, if they hustled, could rise. The high, if they 
did not watch their step, would fall. The support of neighbors 
was part of their security, as well as their being able to get 
directly their own food, clothing and shelter. 

It was a scanty life as we know it now, but it was free. Today 
we dream of ways to keep that freedom, and yet escape that 
scantiness. There were lessons learned of self-reliance, the worth 
of simple things; today’s children will never know these same 
things. 


Corn Shuckings 

Corn shuckings were light-hearted frolics that made work 
seem play. As soon as the cotton was ginned in the fall, the 
ripened corn was hauled to the barn lot and heaped on the 
ground outside of the crib. Word was sent around that Farmer 
John would have a corn shucking on a certain night. Riding in 
buggies, bow-topped wagons, and on horseback, all of the neigh¬ 
bors came early. Everybody “howdied,” shook hands, and went to 
work; soon the corn was piling up and the shucks flying. It is 
said that the first one finding an ear of corn with blue grains got 
a drink of cider and the one finding a red ear of corn got to kiss 
the girls. Usually they were divided into two teams and the corn 
divided into two piles. The side that finished first got a prize. 

As soon as the corn was finished, a bountiful supper of de¬ 
licious food was served. A square dance always followed the 
shucking, with the fiddles, guitars and sometimes banjoes or a 
mandolin making the music. Uncle Bob called, as he had done 
for twenty years. The young and the old sashayed around the 
floor, some cutting fancy steps, while music and laughter filled 
the house. 

Many a courtship started at these corn shuckings, and more 
shoe leather was worn out than one cobbler could stitch to¬ 
gether in years; but it was a grand old custom.

Quilting Bees 

From the pioneers need for entertainment came some of our 
enduring institutions. The whole family usually went to the corn 
shuckings, the quilting bees, the cane grinding, and the cider mak¬ 
ing. Candy pullings were another way for the young people to 
have fun. 

The men always had the crossroads store, the bar, the tav¬ 
ern, or the trading post, where politics and news could be dis¬ 
cussed; but the women would share their neighbors’ work, and 
one of these occasions was the quilting bee. 

The quilting frame was hung from the ceiling. The women 
gathered early in the morning and began to sew. The quilt, which 
was carefully pieced up from scraps of cloth left from dresses 
previously made, and was made the size of a bed, would be 
fastened to the large frame. This was covered by carded soft 
cotton; then a cover of white or colored cloth was basted down 
over the layer of cotton. Then the women seated at intervals 
around the frame began making the intricate patterns of thou¬ 
sands of very tiny stitches required for a single quilt. They 
talked warm and friendly, as their needles flew. Each guest 
brought her own thimble, needle and thread, (for they were 
hard to get). Along about midday the husbands came on foot 
or horseback and ate the hearty meal prepared by the hostess. 
After dinner the men left, and the quilt was finished, even to 
binding of the edges. Some women were famous for their de¬ 
signs and dainty stitches in making these quilts. These were some 
of the popular quilt patterns used: the Double Irish Chain, the 
Lone Star State of Texas, the Pineapple, the Love Apple, the 
Rainbow, the Wheel of Fortune, the Ohio Rose, and Tulip. 

In early times most of the people lived on small farms. The 
wealthy people lived on large plantations and their houses were 
spacious and elegant. They were usually painted white, with 
green window blinds and in front were wide porches with large 
white columns. The house was usually surrounded by large oak 
groves or magnolia trees, and was so placed as to overlook the 
plantation. 

The plantation owners lived in profusion and plenty attended 
by many servants. They drove to town or to church in a hand- 


66 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


some family carriage, and their hospitality was unbounded, not 
only to friends, but to strangers as well. No traveler in distress 
was ever refused a meal or a night’s lodging; rich or poor, he 
was a welcome guest. 

The sons and daughters were educated in the best schools in 
the country, and their homes were refined and cultured. There 
was music, literature and art in these plantation homes.

The Negroes before the Civil War worshipped in the same 
buildings with the whites in the country churches. They were 
brought up in the same principles of good citizenship as were 
the sons and daughters of their masters and they tried to ad¬ 
here to these principles throughout their long and useful lives. 
They also tried to pass on to their children the things, they 
themselves had been taught. In every community today may be 
found descendants of these old families who stand high in the 
estimation of the Negroes as well as the Whites. No complete 
Georgia history can ever be written without giving the rightful 
place to the faithful “mammies” and the slaves whose muscle 
and mind changed a wilderness into a cultivated land. The 
Negro mammy of slavery days was an important member of 
every Southern plantation. She took care of the children by day 
and rocked them to sleep at night, singing queer chant-like 
melodies. Often she told them tales of ghosts as bed-time stories 
and then Mammy would get frightened too and sit for hours 
nodding before the fire, a dupe of her own realistic narratives, 
-afraid to go to her own room. 

Good cooks, housekeepers, maids, and laundresses were found 
with all families, and practically no one could make beaten bis¬ 
cuits, pies, fried chicken, and light bread like old “mammy.” 

In the South in the old days the word slave was not used. The 
negroes were called by their given names when they were young 
but after middle age they were addressed as “Aunt,” and “Un¬ 
cle” by the white children and grown ups too. The children were 
taught to speak to the negroes as, “Good morning Aunt Matt” 
or “Good morning Uncle Cater.” If a white child should be 
impudent to the negroes he was rebuked by his parents as if it 
had been done to a white person.

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


When the negroes were at work in the fields there was always 
a negro woman left at the cabins to care for the babies, children 
and pickaninnies playing around the cabins. She fed them and 
cared for them and kept them out of mischief and usually had 
a switch handy for the naughty ones. In the summer evenings 
when supper was over the negroes would sit on the cabin porches 
or in the yard, sing, and sometimes have prayer meetings. As 
it grew dark the lightwood knots made a gay bonfire and the 
children played hide and seek. 

There was always a “parson” in the neighborhood who could 
preach, and they took their religion seriously. He would exhort 
them to repent and seek salvation, and sing “Where Oh Where 
Am the Hebrew Chillun.” On other evenings there would be a 
banjo or a harp, but the harmony was there, and it was good 
without any kind of instrument. The negroes were lighthearted 
and it was natural for them to sing, and they would sing at work 
or play, rolling logs or picking cotton. Any one could join in any 
time, and the melody went right on. 

Negroes were proud to belong to a family with things of 
which they could boast, such as their social prominence, or fine 
horses. They held the poor whites, the overseer class and those 
who had no slaves in great scorn. Until emancipation the negroes 
had no surnames, though often they used their owners. After 
freedom they did, on most occasions adopt the family name of 
those with whom they had lived. 

“Those who are unfamiliar with the South will never under¬ 
stand or comprehend the relationship that existed at that time 
between the family and the servitors. The white children were 
carried in the negroes’ arms until they could walk, and often 
when circumstances made it necessary they were nursed at black 
breasts. As the children grew up the relationships remained 
cordial but not intimate. A distinction, elusive of description, 
existed which was tacitly recognized by all. Each boy in the 
family had given to him an older negro boy to go with him 
everywhere, to protect him from harm or wait upon him, when 
necessary. The negro boy taught him woodcraft, how to fish, 
to make and set traps for turkeys and quail, to find bird nests 
and identify the eggs. Although they were comrades the differ- 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


69 


ence in social status was not lost sight of by either. The negro 
boy enjoyed a standing among his fellows, by reason of his posi¬ 
tion, in which he took great satisfaction. He came into the big 
house on rainy days and cold days and there he learned many 
things of the white folks that helped him, their stories, songs 
and lore. When the Civil War came many of these negroes went 
with their young masters, not to bear arms, but to be of service. 
They went with them and many of them came back with them, 
or came back to tell his folks of his dying on the battlefield and 
where his last resting place was. Many of them when freed, dis¬ 
regarded it. Perhaps they could not comprehend a mode of life 
different from what they had always known, or perhaps it was 
their attachment to the family or both.” (An Intimate Family 
History,” by Hutchings.) 

When the Northern troops occupied Clinton it is said that no 
one was more indignant at the robbery and pilfering that went 
on than the Negroes, or more concerned than they, as to hiding 
the silver and valuables in safe places. 

It is true that many Negroes left the plantations when Sher¬ 
man’s Army passed through the State, but they were enticed 
away by promises of high wages and an easy life. For several 
years before the war, hired emissaries of abolitionists were se¬ 
cretly working among them to foment discontent, and the under¬ 
ground railway was an easy escape to the North which was 
pictured to them as paradise. It was not uncommon for masters 
to liberate their slaves. I have found on record in the county 
wills where the slaves were given their freedom. Tolerance and 
peaceful measures could have brought about emancipation within 
a dozen years. This is not an attempt to argue that slavery was 
a good institution, it definitely was not, but to say that the ne¬ 
groes were treated well on the whole and lived comfortably. 

There were many attempts to instigate insurrection among 
the negroes against the whites by emissaries from the North 
while the war was in progress. The time was favorable, for the 
men were away in the army, and only a few old men, women 
and children were on the farms. It is noteworthy that not an 
instance of racial disorder occurred in the county during the 
entire war. The negroes cultivated the fields as usual, raised the 


70 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


food which fed the Confederate army, wove the cloth for the 
uniforms and carried on without masters or overseers, except 
one of his own, who directed the work. 

In more than one instance, a woman would be left alone on a 
plantation and had to stay there to keep it going while her hus¬ 
band was with Lee. As the Federal raiders neared, the negro 
house-man in the time of danger, would sleep on a pallet on the 
floor in front of her locked bedroom door with an axe by his 
side and swore that no one should molest his “Young Missie” 
except over his dead body. 

The negro regiments came chiefly from cities like Philadelphia 
and New York where there was a considerable population of 
free Negroes before the war. Through here not many were too 
concerned with the conflict and life went on as usual. 

The cooks before the war cooked on the roomy hearth of the 
kitchen where the heat from the glowing coals of hickory and 
oak wood were just right and there was no smoke, but only 
bright embers just the right size to be taken on the shovel and 
placed around the pots and oven to maintain an even heat for a 
long time. The oven was shaped like a deep pan of iron on four- 
inch legs. The cover or lid could be lifted off with the poker 
through the top. It was concave on top so that coals could cook 
from the top as well as the bottom. When well heated it was 
drawn to the front and filled with either biscuit, corn pones, pies, 
cake, rolls and whatever needed the oven heat. When pushed back 
into the coals and covered with coals there was no peeping, it 
took experience to know when to take it off. You may not be¬ 
lieve that these meals were palatable but they were. Madame 
Parish at her boarding house in Clinton cooked even Christmas 
dinners this way. 

The Mammy of the house always wore a white turban on her 
head, and knew how to have things right. The younger negroes 
thought she was bossy, when she made them toe the mark. 
She would act as if she would shake and thrash the white chil¬ 
dren but the blows she rained on them were as feathers, the 
children would pretend to be frightened but would in the end 
get the teacakes they were coaxing for. 

If Mammy came from Virginia, when a child, she would tell 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


71 


tales of howling wolves and terrible Indians in early Georgia 
days when she was young. In the household Mammy was re¬ 
spected and appreciated for her worth and fine qualities. Sfre 
was usually an expert seamstress and a good practical nurse. The 
old Southern Mammy is a blessed memory who occupied an 
important place in the family circle. 

Jones County has had a predominant colored population and 
most of them are good citizens. Emma C. W. Gray born 
May 9, 1892 daughter of James Seman Gray and Frances Blount 
received her education in public schools of Jones County, then 
Paine College A.B. degree in 1912, then her Ph.D., University 
of Chicago in 1930, and M.A. there in 1934. She taught at Paine 
College until 1939 and perhaps longer. She taught summers in 
S. C. State College. She is the author of the following plays: 
“Marching On,” three acts depicting the history of the Negro 
that was presented by Paine College on the 50th Anniversary 
and by six other institutions. She wrote “Unto Their Labors,” 
a Pageant showing the growth of the Methodist Episcopal 
Church in Georgia (colored). She traveled in England, Scotland, 
Holland, Germany, Switzerland and France in 1937. In 1940 
she was Sec. of the Executive Com. at Paine College, Alumni 
Association, Sec. to Deans of Women and Advisors to Girls in 
Negro Schools, Sec. of Asso. of Teachers of English in Negro 
Colleges. This is an example of what work and perseverance 
may attain, in any race. This information was sent to the D.A.R. 
Historian in 1939 by Emma Catherine Ware Gray. 

There are many other Jones County Negroes who have done 
as well but on this one, I have specific information. 

Maggie Califf was a noted teacher in Jones County, and has 
the new large Senior High School in Gray named for her. 

Colored Churches 

There are only a few records of the colored churches avail¬ 
able. These are the following: Holt’s Chapel A.M.E. church 
was organized Feb. 20, 1874 by Rev. Augusta Jones, Pastor. 
Early pastors were: Rev. Rutlea, Hills, Frank Battles, Eliza 
Pennmann, Homer Shaw, H. B. Battler, Jordan, J. C. Andrews, 
Westley, West, H. Stone, J. S. Mercer, R. T. Jones, J. R. 


72 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Moses, G. H. Dunn, L. C. Carey, J. S. Samples. The first church 
was made of logs, the second was a frame building and third 
a white frame building with a bell. There are 160 members. 

Friendship church, near James, Ga. was organized in 1870. 
There were two previous buildings. The last is a white frame 
building with a bell and belfry. There are substantial seats and 
a piano. The first pastor was Rev. Frank Ford who served from 
1870-71. The land and first building were given by Madison 
Gray. The present church was built in 1911. The trustees are: 
Ausbin Pitts, Julia Cleveland, David Pitts, Hull H. Gray. Some 
charter members were: J. C. Cleveland, David Pitts, Sr., Solo¬ 
mon Wheeler, Nelson Pitts and Jim Gray. 

Turner Chapel A.M.E. had as charter members: A. L. Pitts, 
G. P. Pitts, Milas Towles, Alice Solomon, Frances Pitts, Delilah 
Pitts. The first Pastor was G. H. Solomon. The materials were 
donated by the community and the church named for T. Rad 
Turner who made a donation. They have a Sunday School and 
thirty members. The Trustees were: Geo. Brown, Henry Wood- 
all, Milas Towles, Laz Pitts. 

Holiness Church was built on a lot bought from J. H. C. 
Ethridge. Pentecostal meetings last ten days. The church Sec. 
was Mary Miller of Bradley. (See list of churches, in Chapter 
on Churches.) 

Sammons Chapel Baptist at Round Oak; which building has 
disappeared was on lands of Rev. E. W. Sammons and at one 
time a large church. White’s Chapel, one mile above Round Oak 
has had three different buildings. The last one is in need of re¬ 
pair but is still used and at one time was a strong Methodist 
Church and had as many as 100 members. 

Rocky Mount is still in use, in Barron’s District. This church 
was built soon after the Civil War, and has been very active as 
well as Stewart’s Chapel on the same road. 

Michael Morris Healy 

An Irishman, named Michael Morris Healy, born about 1796 
in Ireland came to America and migrated to Jones County. He 
had a cousin here, Thomas Healy, who had probably written 
him about the rich lands in Jones County and cotton growing, 
for Michael worked around Clinton, saved his money and bought 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


73 


a small acreage about 1818. Through land lotteries and his ef¬ 
forts he owned by 1823, 1500 acres of land in counties of New¬ 
ton, Houston, Habersham, Fayette, Henry and Early. His lands 
in Jones County bordered on the Ocmulgee river from several 
miles below the ferry at Dames to within a few miles of Bibb 
County. He bought slaves, grew cotton and built a large log 
house on a rise near the river. 

Healy bought a mulatto slave girl, 16 years old named Mary 
Eliza, presumably from Samuel Griswold, the ginmaker. In a 
Jones County News of 1909, S. H. Griswold says of her, “Nancy 
a house servant of ours had a sister, Eliza, who belonged to. an 
Irishman named Healy, who had accumulated a good deal of 
property and who lived with this woman and she had children 
by him. These children he sent North and educated and at his 
death he gave this woman her freedom and sent her north and 
gave to her and her children all of his property.” 

The will, now on record at the courthouse was written on 
Feb. 28, 1845 and one item states, “It is my will and desire that 
my trusty woman, Eliza, mother of my said children, with those 
in Ga., shall be removed to a free state when her interest will be 
best consulted, and that my executor shall pay over to the said 
Eliza, $120.00 annually during her natural life and the said an¬ 
nuity to the said Eliza shall not be bartered or disposed of in 
any way or manner whatever.” They had ten children: James 
Augustine b. 1830 who became a Catholic Bishop and died in 
Portland, Maine in 1900, Hugh Clark b. 1832, Patrick b. 1834, 
Alexander Sherwood b. 1836, Martha, Michael, Josephine, 
Eliza and Eugene, one died. 

By 1845 Healy had 60 slaves and 1600 acres of joining lands 
along the Ocmulgee river and became wealthy, although he was 
considered a social outcast by the people in the county. About 
this time a severe storm did property damage in that' section 
and in several papers the storm in after years was known as the 
“Healy Storm.” As soon as a child would get to be eight or ten 
years old Healy would take him to New York and under the 
guardianship of John Manning arrange for his education. By 
1845 five children were in N. Y. Two boys were honor grad¬ 
uates at Holy Cross, and all of these children became Catholics. 


74 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Two girls became sisters in a convent. The last child, Eugene 
was the black sheep of the family. When Michael’s property 
was sold he had $8,000, personal property, $10,000 for lands 
here, he had already sold his holdings in the other counties. His 
slaves were valued at $30,000. The executors of his will were 
outstanding lawyers in Jones County; R. V. Hardeman, Charles 
McCarthy and William Moreland. The records show that some 
investments were handled by Mayor of Macon, Hon. Geo. M. 
Logan. 

Across the Ocmulgee river from Holton on Michael Healy’s 
property, today is an enclosure of stone and several unmarked 
graves are inside. It was here that Michael Morris Healy was 
buried. Perhaps Eliza died in New York with some of her chil¬ 
dren. She had sent money from there to Samuel Griswold to buy 
her sister, Nancy, out of slavery and she went North. Nancy’s 
husband, George who was the ginmaker’s head mechanic, dis¬ 
appeared soon after Nancy left, so he probably joined the others 
in New York. 

This Healy property was afterward bought by I. G. English, 
and others. Now some of this property is owned by Interstate 
Imp. Co. and the U. S. Government. 

A book, “Bishop Healy; Beloved Outcaste” written by Albert 
S. Foley, S. J. depicts the life of James A. Healy the oldest son 
of Michael Healy and Mary Eliza.

LaFayette's Visit to Clinton—1825 

Marquis de LaFayette, the famous French General who aided 
George Washington and the patriots in the winning of American 
independence, visited Georgia in March of 1825. The citizens of 
this state showed him an unsurpassed feeling of respect. General 
LaFayette arrived at Savannah on March 19, 1825 aboard a 
steamboat from South Carolina. After a day of festivities at Sa¬ 
vannah where he remained for several days he went on to Au- 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 



Made an address on the steps of the Clinton courthouse 
























76 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


gusta. Gov. George M. Troup left Milledgeville to meet him in 
Savannah and accorded LaFayette and his party every welcome. 
At Augusta he was entertained in the most fashionable homes in 
the city. On his way to Milledgeville he stopped in Warrenton at 
the W. W. Pilcher home for a ball. There were probably other 
stops but he came on to Milledgeville where former Governor 
Clarke as well as Governor Troup welcomed him. 

George Washington (LaFayette’s son), Sec. Col. Lavoisier, 
and others accompanied LaFayette. Georgia was only a part of 
a tour which he made through the United States. At Milledge¬ 
ville there was a great reception and a public dinner on the Capi¬ 
tol grounds for the General and his party. A stone marks today 
the site of this bountiful dinner near the entrance to the old 
Capitol grounds. Many of the great Georgians of that day were 
present and many toasts were given in the General’s honor as 
well as a military salute, a ball and general gaiety. It is said that 
the son’s head was bald but the General wore a wig. The Inde¬ 
pendent Blues from Clinton were present at this dinner and dur¬ 
ing the meal Major James Smith of Clinton discovered that his 
pocketbook had been stolen with $5,000.00 in it. The record says 
that he fainted. Another incident occurred causing great excite¬ 
ment. A man firing the cannon as a salute to Gen. LaFayette, 
caught his shirt sleeve on fire and when he put his hand in the 
cartridge box the powder caught fire and thirty pounds of powder 
made a terrific explosion, killing the man and injuring several 
others. 

On the way to Macon the General and his party stopped at 
Clinton, March 29, 1825 (Tuesday). They had received the in¬ 
vitation earlier and the whole county was excited over his coming. 
Mr. Jesse Glawson has the old courthouse steps on which Gen. 
LaFayette stood as he spoke. Red white and blue bunting decor¬ 
ated the building and the old grizzled veterans who had fought 
in the Revolution, some under the General’s command, were 
there to shake his hand. The word has been handed down that 
LaFayette walked down the line shaking hands and laughing 
with them and as he came to one old peg-leg he embraced him as 
tears came in the old fellow’s eyes. General LaFayette held a 
child in his arms and kissed her, this was none other than Jane

Thigpen of Clinton who later became a poetess and published 
several books of poems. It is told that La Fayette and his entour¬ 
age went to the old Parrish House to refresh themselves. This 
house still stands and is occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Dennis 
Greene in Clinton. 

Clinton was crouded with people that day and the Independent 
Blues drilled and marched to the drum beats. A cannon was fired 
to announce the approach of the entourage. A marker at Clinton 
indicates the route which the party took. I can almost hear the 
rumble of the stage coach wheels and see the horses pawing the 
red dust as they stood hitched to a huge iron ring in the old cedar 
tree near the courthouse. The marquis being a Mason was tend¬ 
ered all of the Masonic honors of the Sincerity lodge at Clinton. 
He was the illustrious guest, the friend of our struggling repub¬ 
lic, of liberty and of men. La Fayette recalled the time that he 
was wounded at Brandywine and told of his friendship with 
Washington. After this he left for Macon. He was escorted by 
Henry G. Lamar and Thaddeus G. Holt, aides of Gov. Troup. 
At Macon Hon. James S. Frierson gave the official welcome and 
the national salute was fired. 

In Macon he was entertained by the ladies and brothers of 
Macon Lodge No. 24. An address was given by Dr. Ambrose 
Baber of the Masonic Lodge, to which the General replied. At 
the site of the old Macon Hotel, a dinner was given. This was 
at the corner now of Mulberry and Fifth Streets. None of the 
two hours and a half in Macon was wasted. With a final gun sa¬ 
lute the party was on its way toward the west. They spent the 
night at the old Creek Agency on the banks of the Flint river, 
having made rapid progress in that day of travel. As he left the 
agency he traveled westward and northward before leaving 
Georgia. Records show that he was greatly impressed with the 
Creek lands of western Georgia. They reminded him of his own 
rural estate in France called La Grange. In 1828 the county site 
of Troupe County was named La Grange, for the General’s es¬ 
tate. La Fayette, site of Walker County, and LaFayette square 
in Savannah, as well as Fayetteville were named in honor of this 
General.

Americans have continued their respect and admiration

Pleadings and Evidence in the Trial of Elijah Barber, 
otherwise called Jesse L. Bunkley, for 
Cheating and Swindling 

Tried in the Superior Court of Jones County, Georgia, 
before the Hon. John G. Polhill in December, 1837 

Printed at the Federal Union Office 
Milledgeville, Georgia 
1838 

SUMMARY 

As the case which is developed in the following pages, is one 
of rare occurrence, it will not only be interesting to the reader 
to give a sketch of the parties who are the subjects of it; but it 
will aid him very much in a clear understanding of the facts 
brought out upon the trial. 

The maiden name of the mother of Jesse L. Bunkley, was 
Elizabeth Slatter. Her first husband, the father of Jesse, was 
JFilliam D. Bunkley. After the death of Mr. Bunkley, who left 
a large estate, his widow married Mr. Billingslea; after the 
death of Billingslea, she married Samuel Lowther, Esq., a law- 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


79 


yer of considerable distinction and most exemplary character. 

Capt. Jonathan Parrish married the aunt of Jesse L. Bunkley, 
by the mother’s side, and in the year 1815 was appointed guar¬ 
dian of the person and property of Jesse. The estate left to Jesse 
by his father, was considerable, and had been managed by pru¬ 
dent and highly respected persons. It must have been very much 
increased by the fidelity and good management of Capt. Parrish. 
At the time when it was claimed by Elijah Barber, who person¬ 
ated Jesse L. Bunkley, it is supposed it would have amounted to 
between thirty and forty thousand dollars. 

Young Bunkley, having ample means to educate him in the 
best style usual in our country, was, from five years old, sent to 
the best schools and academies in the vicinity; was prepared for 
College, and entered the University of Georgia as a scholar. 
Our readers are aware, that, in order to enter College, the 
elements of good English education, and a competent knowledge 
of the Greek and Latin languages must have been previously 
acquired by the student. 

As is too common with young gentlemen of fortune in our sec¬ 
tion of the country, Jesse L. Bunkley did not feel the necessity 
of personal exertion to get him through the world. He is con¬ 
sequently described as wild and rude, though talented; and his 
habits did not long permit him to remain a student in the Uni¬ 
versity. He made frequent excursions to our large cities and 
elsewhere, to indulge in amusements more congenial to him than 
the strict rules of a College life. 

After he left College, in order to indulge his disposition for 
roaming and amusement, he determined to make a trip to the 
westward and to New Orleans. At this time, 1825, his mother 
lived about three miles from Clinton, Jones County, Georgia. 
She testified that he left there on the 17th day of May, 1825, 
aged nineteen years and six months. She heard from him oc¬ 
casionally by letter and otherwise for little more than two years. 
After this it was generally reported and believed in and about 
Clinton, that Jesse L. Bunkley had died in New Orleans. And 
this report was so much confided in, that his guardian paid out 
his estate to his brother, PFilliam D. Bunkley, (generally called 
familiarly Bob Bunkley ), who was entitled to his brother’s estate 


80 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


upon his death. William D. Bunkley has since died and his estate 
descended to his widow and children, residing in Alabama. 

The following description is given of Jesse L. Bunkley, when 
he left Georgia. Light complexion, a little inclined to be swarthy 
—light hair—yellow eyes—face full and round—a deep dimple 
in the chin—full jaws—thick lips, the upper one inclined to turn 
up when he laughed—nose large and a little turned up at the 
end—large hips—large thighs and legs—a full body, but slim 
round the waist. The middle finger of the left hand was bitten off 
above the nail, the nail entirely gone—a scar on the right side 
of the neck immediately under the jaw bone, which grew up into 
a ridge—a scar immediately under the left knee pan, directly 
across the leg. A mark is also described on a private part of 
Bunkley by Mr. Williams, who was present when he got the 
wound. 

We collect from the history of the case, that from about the 
middle of the year 1827 till about the year 1830 or 1831, noth¬ 
ing was heard of Bunkley; but the belief of his death generally 
prevailed among his relatives and acquaintances in Georgia. 
About this time counter reports began to reach them, that he 
was dead and that he was alive. Rumors reached Clinton that he 
had been seen chained to a block, working on the streets and 
the levee at New Orleans. 

About 1832 or 1833, the report became current, that he was 
confined in the calaboose in New Orleans. About this time a cor¬ 
respondence was commenced between a person in the calaboose, 
and a respectable gentleman of the bar in Clinton, in which the 
former represented himself to be Jesse L. Bunkley, and wrote to 
latter under that name, with a view to procure money to aid 
him in his difficulties, from the estate left to his son by William 
D. Bunkley. The individual in the calaboose was visited by 
Major Wynn of Columbus, who knew Bunkley, but who identi¬ 
fied him to be the Prisoner on his trial. He was convicted and 
confined in the calaboose under the name of Elijah Barber, of 
having forged bank notes in his possession. He afterwards open¬ 
ed a correspondence with the mother of Bunkley; but failed to 
satisfy her of his identity. This individual is well known to many 
in Georgia, who had known him for years. Many of the citizens 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


81 


of Gwinnett and other counties, knew him well as Elijah Barber. 
He was known by that name about Macon, Milledgeville, Au¬ 
gusta and elsewhere. His father, mother and family weye known 
by many. He had been seen as late as the year 1828 in Milledge¬ 
ville, and 1829 in Augusta, Ga. three or four years after Bunk- 
ley had left the State. He was a wild, dissipated, intemperate 
man, extremely illiterate, so much so, that he could not write his 
name; and was frequently arrested for breaches of the laws. 

Barber first demanded his estate of the guardian of Bunkley 
by power of attorney, purporting to have been written in the 
State of Arkansas. The guardian suspected some unfairness, as 
he did not recognize the hand writing, and believed Bunkley to 
be dead. He therefore refused to settle with the agent who pro¬ 
duced the power of attorney. 

A short time after this, the person representing himself as 
Jesse L. Bunkley, made his appearance in Jones County, and 
after remaining there two or three weeks, demanded of Capt. 
Parrish, the estate of Jesse L. Bunkley. He passed by the name 
of Bunkley, and this personation and demand gave origin to the 
case here reported. 

Elijah Barber, (the man convicted) is about the ordinary 
stature, perhaps a little over it, said to be taller than Bunkley 
when he left Georgia—spare made—very little bow-legged— 
somewhat thin visaged, face rather long—complexion ruddy— 
hair quite black and black whiskers—deep blue eyes—sharp chin 
without any appearance of a dimple—nose long and sharp, a 
little aqueline or turned down. On his left leg, about an inch 
and a half below the knee, is a scar made obliquely up the leg. 
He shows a very small spot for a scar on the side of the neck 
under the right jaw bone. A very peculiar mark on a private 
member is proved. He has not lost any of his fingers the nails 
are all on them and perfect. He has never been seen to write any¬ 
thing but Jesse L. Bunkley , and that very badly. 

One of the witnesses had described a scar or scars on Barber s 
leg from the bite of a snake. Barber exhibited himself before 
the jury, and the scars were found on his right leg, very much 
resembling the description of the wounds from the bite of a 
snake.

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Hope H. Slatter and Shadrack Slatter were uncles of Jesse L. 
Bunkley. 

We deemed this brief sketch necessary to a full and clear un¬ 
derstanding of several parts of the evidence. As there is no de¬ 
scription of the person of Barber given in the testimony, and 
from his presence none was necessary, the description of him was 
essential, that the reader might be enabled to draw the contrast 
in his own mind between him and Jesse L. Bunkley. 

In the testimony were found two letters, one written by the 
genuine Jesse L. Bunkley, the other by Barber, or some person 
for him, from the calaboose in New Orleans, and the reader 
could see the great difference between the language and the 
spelling of these two letters. 

It is also worthy of remark that the witnesses were generally 
persons of high respectability. Among them were some of the 
first men in Georgia in point of character, standing and intellect 
—gentlemen who have held and still hold some of the highest 
offices of the State. 

Two objections were named by the prisoner’s counsel when 
the indictment was about to be read. (1) “That the prisoner 
had not been served with a copy of this indictment.” (2) That 
the indictment had been amended by adding to it the name of 
a new prosecutor, the former being dead, that the statue of 
jeofails extends to civil and not criminal cases.” These objec¬ 
tions were overruled by the court, who ordered the indictment 
to be read. Ninety-eight witnesses were sworn in for the state, 
and thirty-nine in behalf of the prisoner. The jury was out but 
a few minutes, and return a verdict of guilty. The prisoner was 
sentenced for five years imprisonment at hard labor in the 
penitentiary. The Solicitor General, William G. Smith, Harde¬ 
man, Colquitt and Reid for the State with James Smith and 
E. Y. Hill for the prisoner. 

Now after Elijah Barber served his term, he came back to 
Clinton and threatened to sue Mrs. Samuel Lowther for the 
estate which he claimed, however he never did this, as he was 
told by many that his next punishment would be greater than the 
first. Most people of Jones County felt that Jesse Bunkley had 
died in New Orleans, and this fellow Barber was with him and 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


83 


knew of his family and their business affairs, so when Bunkley 
died, Barber decided to impersonate Bunkley in order to collect 
his inheritance. To this day there are those who believe that the 
man was really Jesse Bunkley. (Data by Wyatt Bonner.) 

WILLIAM S. C. REID 

(Lawyer of Jessie L. Bunkley Case) 

For the benefit of the younger members of the profession 
especially, the endowments of William S. C. Reid, and a few 
passages in his short career, are here set forth in the twofold 
light of encouragement and warning. From what the author has 
been able to gather from those who were acquainted with his 
gifts, his traits of character, the elevation of soul he possessed, 
and the rich oratory which rolled from his lips, it has fallen to 
the lot of very few persons to excel Mr. Reid in these respects. 
He rose with sudden light, maintained his brillancy, and then 
closed his earthly prospects by sad indiscretions, which will be 
noticed from no motive to reproach the dead, but as a salutary 
admonition to the living. 

William S. C. Reid, son of John Reid, was born in Hancock 
Co., Ga., on the 20th day of October, 1802, and received his 
principal education at Mount Zion, under the care of Nathan 
S. S. Beman and his brother, Carlisle Beman, two of the most 
noted and successful instructors of youth in the Southern coun¬ 
try. He completed his course at Mount Zion in the spring of 
1824, and proceeded immediately to the North with letters of 
high recommendation from his teachers. He pursued his legal 
studies at New Haven under the direction of Mr. Stapler, a 
lawyer of established reputation. In the fall of 1825, he returned 
to Georgia, and was admitted to the bar at Augusta. He located 
for practice at Clinton the ensuing year, and continued to reside 
in that village until his removal to Macon, six or eight years 
afterwards. In the meantime he had given evidence of great 
abilities, and had become a source of joy to his relatives, especial¬ 
ly to his widowed mother and his affectionate sisters, all of whom 
looked up to him as their greatest earthly comfort. 


84 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


The author heard Mr. Reid speak only on one occasion at 
the bar, and that briefly to the court, in 1827, at Clinton. He 
distinctly remembers the tall, erect, and graceful figure of Mr. 
Reid, his strong mellow voice, with great harmony of inflec¬ 
tion, and the chaste language which delighted all hearers. His 
future was then auspicious in the highest degree. No advocate 
had greater natural advantages; none better could scarcely be 
desired. Whatever contributed to render public speaking success¬ 
ful was at his command. True, it was not claimed for him, young 
as he was, that his legal attainments were very profound,—that 
he was master of Coke upon Littleton, or could lay open Shelly’s 
case so as to be intelligible. ]No such capacity did he pretend to 
possess; nor was he bold enough to insinuate that Fearne on 
Remainders was as agreeable to him as the most popular ro¬ 
mance, and as easily understood,—a taste which has been some¬ 
times avowed by members of the profession who, from an excess 
of intellect or of vanity, seemed anxious to appear thus capti¬ 
vated. But in the province of an advocate, where the passions 
could be influenced, where the hearts of men might be reached, 
even to the controlling of their judgments,—in this relation Mr. 
Reid was most effective. 

As a proof of his qualification, it may be remarked that he 
was associated with Col. Robert V. Hardeman and the Hon. 
Walter T. Colquitt in the prosecution of Elijah Barber, alias 
Jesse L. Bunkley, who was indicted in Jones Superior Court, at 
April term, 1837, for cheating and swindling. This was a singu¬ 
lar case, and occupied much time in the investigation. More than 
one hundred and thirty witnesses were examined, ninety-eight 
of whom were on the side of the prosecution. The testimony was 
conflicting,—many witnesses believing the defendant to be the 
genuine Jesse L. Bunkley, who was entitled to an estate of forty 
thousand dollars; and perhaps a still greater number of wit¬ 
nesses and disinterested persons considered him an artful im¬ 
postor, who had perhaps learned the story from the rightful 
heir before his death. The particulars of this trial have been 
published in pamphlet form. They are mysterious, to say the 
least. Barber was convicted and served out his term in the peni¬ 
tentiary. Some persons honestly believe to this day that the ac- 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


85 

cused was the veritable Jesse L. Bunkley, who suffered wrong¬ 
fully. But the greatest number believe—what is no doubt the 
truth—that Barber and others had conspired to obtain this large 
property by the course that was attemped. 

Among the witnesses introduced by the prosecution were Rob¬ 
ert Dougherty, now a judge of the Circuit Court of Alabama; 
Hugh A. Haralson, late a Representative in Congress, since de¬ 
ceased; Henry G. Lamar, formerly a Representative in Con¬ 
gress; and the Hon. Charles J. McDonald, since Governor of 
Georgia, and at present a judge of the Supreme Court. The tes¬ 
timony of these gentlemen is here copied in the order in which 
it was delivered:—- 

Eighty-sixth witness, Robert Dougherty.—I knew Jessie L. 
Bunkley at school at Athens. I entered college and left him in 
the grammar school. I do not know how long he remained there. 
At that time, to enter college, a young man must have known 
arithmetic to the rule-of-three, English grammar, have read 
Cornelius Nepos, Caesar, and the Bucolics and first book of the 
Eeneid of Virgil, and the four orations of Cicero, and have 
read in the Greek Testament the book of John. From my recol¬ 
lection of Jesse L. Bunkley I cannot speak distinctly of him. I 
do not think Bunkley had as dark hair. I had a conversation 
with prisoner, and should say from that conversation he is not 
Jesse L. Bunkley. I asked him several questions which he did not 
answer satisfactorily. I think Bunkley could have recollected and 
retailed some of the circumstances I inquired of. 

Crossexamined.—The circumstances that prisoner recollected 
were suggested by myself. He brought to my recollection the 
breaking of some globes at Shaw’s book-store. I recollected a 
difficulty at Shaw’s, but not breaking the globes. I don’t recollect 
that the college-rules were ever waived except as to the qualifi¬ 
cation of age. Jesse L. Bunkley came to the grammar-school just 
before I left it. He entered college before I left, which was in 
1826. I don’t recollect why and when he left there, nor how 
long he was in college. It was a short time. Bunkley left college 
before I did. 

87th witness, Hugh A. Haralson.—I was at college from 
1821 to 1825, when Bunkley was there in the grammar-school. 


86 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


I think he entered one of the lower classes in college. I knew him 
at that time. The requisites for admission were pretty much such 
as stated by Mr. Dougherty. I think Cicero’s Oration were also 
required. My recollection of Bunkley is not very distinct. His 
hair was very light,—lighter than Mr. Hardeman’s. My broth¬ 
er-in-law, Mr. Lewis, was taken for Bunkley from the lightness 
of his hair. Unless time changes men more than I am aware of, 
I should not take the prisoner to be Bunkley. I saw prisoner in 
November, 1836. Among the company at Mr. Gibson’s I could 
not distinguish prisoner as Bunkley. I asked him a number of 
questions. He answered me two or three correctly, which he 
might have answered without being Bunkley. I asked him sev¬ 
eral other questions, which he could not answer. He told me 
where old Zack Sims lived, where Mr. Thomas lived, and the 
situation of the spring. He could not tell me the number of 
bridges across the Oconee at Athens. There were two bridges; 
and he said there was one. He could not tell me where the boys 
washed. It was a noted place. He tried to press upon my recol¬ 
lection the breaking of the globes, which I do not recollect. He 
said he had been gone so long and seen so many parts of the 
world that these things were erased from his memory. He said 
he had been to England, to London. He said he did not go 
ashore at London. He said he had made a proposition to Jesse 
L. Bunkley’s guardian. He must have had a very treacherous 
memory to have forgotten these circumstances. He said, “Now, 
as stated by Mr. Dougherty. I think Cicero’s Oration was also 
if I had been an imposter, do you suppose I would have made 
such propositions to my guardian?” Prisoner showed an unwill¬ 
ingness to converse in company or to converse aloud, in which I 
humored him. The whole interview resulted in my conviction that 
it was not Jesse L. Bunkley. I thought it strange that he should be 
so fond of a spree and not go ashore at London. He described 
Jesse Bunkley’s personal marks, and said they were on himself. 

I merely had this conversation for my own satisfaction. 

Cross-examined.—Men are often deceived in regard to iden¬ 
tity. I may possibly be deceived now. My mind is made up from 
the circumstances detailed in the conversations with prisoner. 
The tendency of light hair is to become darker, but not black, 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


87 


according to my observation. I did not go to his room, and have 
had no more conversation with him. His anxiety to go to his 
own room was one of the circumstances that induced me to think 
he was not Bunkley. My opinion is formed more from circum¬ 
stances. I asked prisoner to mention the names of some of his 
classmates. He mentioned but three in college. He could recol¬ 
lect no more. Pryor Green, a Mr. Shelman, and Ned Hill were 
the three he mentioned. He recollected but one of the professors. 

89th witness, Henry G. Lamar .—I was intimately acquainted 
with Jesse L. Bunkley from 1817 or ’18 till 1825, when he left 
here. He was almost daily at my office when in town, and I no¬ 
ticed him a good deal. I think I should recognize his features if 
I were to see him; and I do not see the first feature of prisoner 
that revives my recollection of Jesse L. Bunkley. I do not recol¬ 
lect very well names and dates, but do well recollect counte¬ 
nances. I saw this year, in Alabama, a gentleman I had not seen 
for twenty years; and I knew him. My recollection is best of the 
general expression of countenance. The complexion of hair, color 
of the eyes, and form of the face, of prisoner, differ entirely 
from Bunkley’s. Bunkley’s eyes were darker and the expression 
different. His eyes were fuller than prisoner’s. 

Jesse L. Bunkley, from hearing me deliver an oration, could 
repeat several sentences in it. He borrowed it and kept it a week. 
He was at Milledgeville while I represented this county, and 
had to borrow money from me to pay his tavern-bill. The first 
time he met me afterward, he apologized for not paying it. 
When I entered prisoner’s room he called Judge McDonald, 
Peter Williams, and said he was very sick. He said he had no 
recollection of me. I asked him if he did not recollect a law¬ 
yer in Clinton, Jones County, of my name,—Henry G. Lamar. I 
asked him a number of circumstances respecting myself and 
family, none of which did he recollect. He said he recollected a 
little, dark-skin, chunky man named Isaac Harvey, that married 
old Tom Napier’s daughter, that loaned him a ten-dollar United 
States bill. He did not recollect my own brothers, but recollected 
John T., Mirabeau, and Bazil Lamar. 

This closed the first interview. John T. Lamar, Bazil, and 
Mirabeau, previous to my conversation with prisoner, had been 


88 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


to Texas, and Isaac Harvey had been to Alabama. Jesse L. 
Bunkley differed in politics from his family, and took the Troup 
side in my favor, and would tell me the objections urged against 
my election. 

Cross-examined.—Prisoner did not tell me how he knew Mira- 
beau Lamar and others. He said nothing about what he knew of 
them. I have seen men change. I think Jesse L. Bunkley’s face 
was rounder than prisoner’s. Jesse L. Bunkley’s beard was light, 
but had not assumed a fixed character. Hair light at eighteen or 
nineteen changes darker by thirty years of age. It was my first 
and is my last impression that prisoner is not Jesse L. Bunkley. 
I cannot recollect that prisoner stated that John T., Mirabeau, 
and Bazil Lamar lived in Jones County. Isaac Harvey did marry 
Napier’s daughter. I think she died during the war, or at least 
before 1817, and that Harvey had in 1817 married his second 
wife. 

96th Witness, Charles J. McDonald .—I knew Jesse L. Bunk¬ 
ley shortly after June, 1818, saw him frequently, and, from that 
time till he left, knew him intimately. I do not think prisoner to 
be Jesse L. Bunkley. Col. Lamar and myself called to see him 
and requested that he should not be told who we were. He called 
me Peter Williams. He was asked if he knew either myself or 
Col. Lamar as attorneys at Clinton, and if he remembered La¬ 
mar’s lending him ten dollars in Milledgeville. He did not recol¬ 
lect these, but he recollected a little stumpy fellow, named Isaac 
Harvey, that loaned him a ten-dollar United States bill there, 
and that he married Major Napier’s daughter. He did not know 
either myself or Lamar. He said he thought he had some indis¬ 
tinct recollection of Jim Lamar’s going to the Legislature from 
Jones. He said he knew some of the Lamars that lived in Jones 
County, John T., Bazil, and Mirabeau. Prisoner complained 
of being sick, and said perhaps he could give us more satisfac¬ 
tion in regard to these matters at a future day. I never knew of 
John T., Mirabeau, or Bazil Lamar living in Jones. I don’t know 
much about Jesse L. Bunkley s education. He had been at school 
enough, if he had attended to his studies, to be a pretty good 
scholar. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


89 


Cross-examined.—I did not call on prisoner again. I think he 
said something about one of the Lamar’s father living above 
Milledgeville I am not distinct in this. I don’t think I asked him 
a question. I suggested questions to Col. Lamar. Mir^beau La¬ 
mar’s father did live above Milledgeville, on Little River. I 
think Jesse L. Bunkley face rather rounder and fuller than pris¬ 
oner’s—his eyes yellow, his hair not as dark as. prisoner’s. Time 
may have had some influence on it. His nose not so prominent as 
prisoner’s; his complexion rather sallow, though not very dark. 

Mrs. Lowther, the mother of Jesse L. Bunkley, testified that 
she had several conversations with the accused, and called over 
many incidents—some very peculiar—which her son must have 
recollected, but the prisoner had no knowledge of them. She 
was fully convinced, from his appearance and other circum¬ 
stances, that he was not her son. She produced in court a letter 
which the prisoner said he had written her from New Orleans. 
As a curiosity from the pen of a professed collegian, an extract 
is here given with the spelling, punctuation, and other beauties 
preserved as they appear in the original:— 

New Orleans Prison, December 20th, 1833 

Dear Mother: 

I’ take the pleasure of writing A few Lines to you to convince 
you of my being your own child tho it A pears that its your wish 
to dis own me for the Reson why I cannot tell if it aint for my

treated you as A child aught to A mother and the Reson why I’

frech on my mind but that subject I’ will quit and turn to other 
things you maden name was Elizabeth Latmon and your mother 
a Fluallen and after the death of my father you married James 
Billingslea and myself never could agree which was one grate 
cause of my mis forchans and as for whare I’ went to school was 
to Clinton, Eadanton, Athans, there was discharged for playing 
cards then my mis for chaus commence you well Remember the 
promisses I mad to you and Brother Wm, D, them promses was 
then shortly after E got to this cuntry E got in fificulty with A 


90 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


spanard and was forst to Leave it I’ then went to mishigan 
canaday and the Spanish cuntry. 

In the course of her testimony, Mrs. Lowther said:— 

My maiden name was Slatter. I was acquainted with my son’s 
handwriting. I was satisfied that this letter was not in my son’s 
handwriting. 

Cross-examined.—I do not consider that his letter was from 
my son. I never received a letter after 1825 but this one. I heard 
the report of my son’s death (I think in 1827).I did not hear 
the report shortly after this time of my son’s being in life. I 
heard a person, and persons, speak of my son’s death, detailing 
different circumstances. 

My son left me because he wished to travel. He was a young 
man of fortune, and did not wish to be confined. I did not know 
that my son was threatened him with a prosecution. I understand 
that he was confined for some offence in Augusta. I heard this 
from authority I confided in. He went away shortly after his 
return from Augusta. I do not recollect the precise time. 

He left but one school (and that was at Athens) on account 
of misconduct. I do not know that he was under any offence 
when he left there. Capt. Parrish bought the horse, paid for 
him, and he rode him off. This was after a difficulty about the 
horse with his uncle. My son came back with his uncle, Shade 
Slatter, with horse I never heard Slatter threaten to prosecute 
my son. He stayed his time out at Eatonton school. 

I did not answer the letter I received from New Orleans. I 
did not answer my son’s letter, because he told me not to write 
till I heard from him again. 

There was a mark on my son’s leg immediately below the 
knee-pan. Prisoner shows a mark some distance below the knee. 
The scar on my son’s knee was made by a drawing-knife. Pris¬ 
oner knew nothing about how it took place. The prisoner’s mark 
is considerably below the knee-pan. When I heard that the pris¬ 
oner had such a mark, 1 stated that my son had a similar mark 
on his leg; but this on prisoner did not correspond when I saw 
it. I had several conversations with prisoner. At the first, Major 
Smith was present. In this conversation I admitted there was a 
mark on my son’s neck, which, on examination, was not on the 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


91 


prisoner’s. The scar on my son’s neck was occasioned by his rid¬ 
ing on an old tree: he fell, and a limb struck him under the jaw 
and made a large scar. The scar was about as long as the first 
joint of my first finger. 

I do not recollect that my son was ever set to ploughing after 
being brought home from school. I have several times made him 
plough for my own amusement. 

I never heard of my son’s being alive till Major Smith’s re¬ 
ceiving letters. The first report I heard of my son’s being alive 
was when, in Mr. Atwood’s store, I heard that Major Smith 
had received a letter from him. 

I knew of no other mark on my son but those mentioned when 
he was a child. My son had no mole when he was a child. I have 
never said to anyone that he had moles. Some of my children 
have dark spots; but I do not call them moles. 

I invited prisoner to stay at my house and convince me that 
he was my son. He could tell me nothing. He asked me if I recol¬ 
lected a difficulty between him and Capt. Billingslea, and that 
I took the carving knife to separate them. He said this was at 
the supper-table. I told him I recollected a difficulty, but nothing 
about a carving-knife; that we had no use for a carving-knife at 
supper. I have never so stated to any person. 

Having transcribed so much of the evidence given for the 
prosecution, showing that the prisoner had falsely personated 
Jesse L. Bunkley, it is deemed proper to select a passage or two 
from the defence:— 

28th witness, Willie Patterson.—I knew Jesse L. Bunkley 
while he lived in Clinton, and till he left here, often saw him. I 
knew him as he passed as well as I know other boys. I used to 
deal with William D. Bunkley, and he was very kind to me. I 
knew Jesse in his father’s house and around his table. Knew him 
as a school-boy, and, after his father’s death, at his mother’s 
house. I knew him till he went away. I believe prisoner to be 
the same man. I have never asked prisoner a question nor he 
me one. I understood he was coming out from Mr. Gibson’s, 
and I stood about ten steps from the door. When he stepped 
into the piazza, he brought to my view old Wm. D. Bunkley 
from the upper part of his face, from his eyes up. I do not think 


92 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


his cheeks as a little swarthy. I don’t recollect the color of his 
eyes. I think he saw him, I thought his hair of a lightish color. 
It is darker. When a boy, I used to be called a flax-headed boy. 
It has since turned nearly black. Jesse L. Bunkley was a wild, 
bad boy; in all bad company. I have seen him at my house more 
than once. Prisoner has a family-likeness to the Slatters and 
James Bunkley. 

31st witness. The person of prisoner exhibited before the jury. 
He stands erect, walks, and exhibits his finger,—the forefinger 
of the left hand. A small scar on the neck under the right jaw. 
A scar on the side of the left leg, one inch and a half from the 
knee-pan. Shows his feet and his shin to look for the marks of 
the snake-bite. Some scars are found on his right leg one on the 
side of the right knee, and one on the side of the calf of the leg, 
near the shin-bone. 

Considerable testimony was offered in behalf of the prisoner, 
tending to show that he was a different man from Elijah Barber 
who was known in Upson county, and in the Florida War of 
1835 and previously, as a wagoner who hauled lumber from 
Grace’s mill, near Macon, in 1824 and ’25. He could not write. 
Many witnesses concurred in the opinion, from what they knew 
of Jesse L. Bunkley from his childhood up to the time he left 
Jones County in his twentieth year, (May 17, 1825), that the 
prisoner was the identical Jesse L. Bunkley. 

During this long and complicated trial the Hon. John G. 
Polhill, Judge of the Ocmulgee circuit, presided. Several ques¬ 
tions were raised on the evidence, which were well decided on 
reason and authority. Should the author succeed in procuring 
the necessary data, a separate memoir of Judge Polhill will be 
prepared, in which this case and its further intricacies—especial¬ 
ly on the legal points involved—will be noticed more in detail, 
for the interest they afford to the profession. At present, very 
little more will be said, except in relation to the part devolved 
on Mr. Reid as of counsel for the prosecution. 

Col. Hardeman justly wielded great influence in his (Jones) 
county, and was a lawyer of acknowledged ability even in 1837. 
His reputation has been much increased since, and he now pre¬ 
sides in the same circuit as Judge of the Superior Court. Judge 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


93 


Colquitt had a proud fame more than twenty years ago. His 
effort on this trial was worthy of his genius and skill as an ad¬ 
vocate. Mr. Reid, though somewhat his junior, was perhaps not 
less gifted. His argument was what might have been expected 
on the occasion of a stupendous fraud worked by the nicest ma¬ 
chinery, which required analysis and energy to unfold. It was 
the last exhibition of Mr. Reid’s oratory at the bar on a scale 
commensurate with his powers.

Chapter IX. 

Clouds of War—1860 

After the Revolution, the picture of this part of the country 
looked fairer and better and so it grew for eighty years of ex¬ 
traordinary accomplishment until the black curtain of the Civil 
War descended to blot it all out. 

During this period of prosperity there was time for leisure, 
culture and cultural leadership. The South produced poets, auth¬ 
ors, thinkers, and leaders in civic affairs; the influence of the 
South in Washington for a time overshadowed the rest of the 
country. 

From John S. Tilly’s book, “Facts the Historians Leave Out,” 
we find that four of the first five Presidents came from the 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


99 


South, seven of the first ten, and ten of the first sixteen were all 
sons of the South. To mention a few of the contributions of the 
South to the nation. The first Continental Congress which sent 
to the English King our declaration of rights had for its Presi¬ 
dent, Peyton Randolph, the agitation for armed resistance to 
the English crown was Patrick Henry, the author of the Declara¬ 
tion of Independence was Thomas Jefferson, the commander-in¬ 
chief of the war of the Revolution was George Washington, the 
“father” of the adoption of the Constitution was James Madi¬ 
son. Jefferson promoted the Louisiana Purchase nearly doubling 
the area of the United States. Andrew Jackson led our armies 
to victory at New Orleans and Polk guided our government dur¬ 
ing the war with Mexico securing about one million miles of new 
territory including Texas, New Mexico and California. John 
Marshall was chiefly .responsible for the early prestige of the 
Supreme Court. 

The protective tariff raised the prices of manufactured articles 
purchased by the Southerners without increasing the prices of 
raw products which were for sale in the South. The tariff re¬ 
stricted the foreign trade of the South. The conflicting economic 
interests which grew out of divergent geographical conditions 
gave the North great commercial and industrial advantages. The 
South with its long hot summers, rainfall and rich soil and the 
fact that cotton could be cultivated by cheap slave labor caused 
the institution of slavery to be widely adopted. 

As British oppression had justified a war for independence so 
now in the opinion of many Southerners, industrial oppression 
could justify another struggle for liberty. Slavery was not the 
sole cause for secession. It is interesting to note that when the 
South formed a new government in 1861 a clause prohibiting 
protective tariffs was included in the Constitution of the Con¬ 
federacy. States’ rights under the Constitution was a great issue. 

The culture here was intensely English, as much as was Vir¬ 
ginia from where most of it came. Cotton was king of the trade 
and the aristocrats who drew their patents from him were the 
planters. Slaves had first been brought to the colonies soon after 
the settlement of Jamestown, by the Dutch and later by the New 


100 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


England ship captains and the traffic went on with Africa for 
more than one hundred years. 

In the North the slaves were never profitable, the negro was 
not suited to do the work in the shops and mills, nor was he 
suited for the cold climate. The agricultural south suited him 
better as to climate and as to work. The work was manual, un¬ 
complicated and routine; plowing, planting, cultivating and pick¬ 
ing, from February to December. He liked the South and was 
thriving in it. 

After 1853 the rift between the North and South began to 
widen. From 1832 on to 1861 was a long period of a cold war. 
The North wished to buy cheap and sell high. The North became 
envious of the wealth and prestige of the South and attributed 
the difference to slave labor, not caring to remember the colleges 
and magnificient art galleries they had were endowed with Salem 
slave-ship money. This New England clique in press and pulpit 
were not content to mind their own business but must attempt to 
reform their neighbors, so they started a campaign of villification 
and misrepresentation against the South which went on and on 
until it exploded in a clash of arms, unleashing a horror of which 
they never dreamed. A million lives were sacrificed, a national 
debt incurred, the pensions all of which would have more than 
paid for the value of the slaves many times. According to the 
laws of the United States supported by decisions of the Supreme 
Court, the slaves were property as much as real estate. Remem¬ 
ber that the Southerners neither stole nor captured their slaves, 
bear in mind always that they bought them from Northern slave- 
importers, and paid large sums of money for them. 

“Facts the Historians Leave Out” by John S. Tilly page 9 
says: “Robert E. Lee the South’s leading General, not only had 
freed his slaves but had declared that slavery was a moral 
and political evil. It was his view and that of Stonewall Jackson 
that the best men in the South opposed the system, and that they 
would welcome a sane movement to be rid of it. Only one in 
fifteen Southern whites ever owned a slave.” In Jones County 
there were Creek Indians who owned slaves as well as Negroes. 
One Negro, at what is now Bradley, owned four slaves. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


101 


Of course slavery was an ugly blot on American history and 
many slaves were owned here; so we deserve our share of the 
blame. The Southerners did not however, think it right that the 
North, which had grown rich by the traffic, should undertake to 
free them by force, without repaying to their owners one cent of 
the purchase money. 

There were fanatics in the North who were unwilling to work 
out a plan to gradually free the slaves without bringing ruin 
on the South. The fire-eaters preached hatred of the Southern 
people and slavery, they encouraged the millions of slaves to 
rise against their masters and burn and murder at will. With 
one-third of the South, slaves, a prospect of uprisings brought 
terror to every Southern home. This and other acts of an un¬ 
friendly section, led the Southerners to leave the Union to form 
their own government, one which would give protection to their 
families and homes. Propaganda helped to bring about the Civil 
War as much as anything eke. Yes, the Southerners were haugh¬ 
ty and proud and little disposed to consider the institution of 
slavery a pertinent topic to be discussed only among themselves. 
It was a question that might have with calm deliberation, been 
settled amicably by statesmen, but the agitation was begun and 
carried too far by rabid preachers and agitators and when an 
attempt was made in the eleventh hour to avert the pending 
catastrophe, too much passion had been aroused on both sides 
for a settlement to be possible. The war was a clash between 
divergent civilizations and rival economies, Northern powers 
seeking to exploit the South as a colony, which they did for ten 
years after the South conceded defeat. 

Many Northerners moved into the South prior to 1840 and 
became successful planters and slave owners and also were ex¬ 
treme secessionists. 

“In her early days Georgia had forbade slavery and looked on 
it as an evil, but she held to States rights to deal with it in her 
own boundaries. To the South it was a matter of honor, dignity 
and equality in the Union and the safety of her citizens^ As the 
North and South arrayed themselves against each other they 
lost their reason, they no longer sought to understand each 
other They even parted their Christian union and sought God 


102 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


in opposite directions. The Union was divided in religion, poli¬ 
tics and every feeling of regard, friendship and many families 
were divided. 

“Georgia’s golden age in the nation’s history was to fade away 
with the rest of the Southern states as the bonds of friendship 
snapped and a four-year bitter war was fought, and worse than 
the war came the ten years of blundering reconstruction.” (“A 
Short History of Ga.” by E. Merton Coulter.) 

Jones Countians were greatly concerned with the develop¬ 
ments in the nation’s political affairs during the year 1860. The 
selections of candidates for the Presidency, the platforms of 
the opposing parties, the threat to slavery as an institution and 
the likelihood of secession by the Southern states. This produced 
a pattern of tensions and emotions and strong feelings in local 
politics. There were many in Jones county who strongly opposed 
secession, some of them were leading men. The State Convention 
at Milledgeville, the State Capital, sustained the National Dem. 
Charleston Convention on April 23. 

Many Jones Countians went over to Macon to hear Stephen 
A. Douglas and Alexander Stephens speak from a street near 
the old depot, both of them urging deliberation of action and 
preservation of the Union on Oct. 31, 1860. 

On Jan. 19, 1861 the Ordinance of Secession was passed (in 
Milledgeville) by 208 to 89; a cannon was fired, several times. 
All dissenters signed the ordinance as a pledge of their lives, 
their fortunes and sacred honor to support the State. Back at 
Clinton the message came from Milledgeville; some were cry¬ 
ing, some were joyful, the Independent Blues put on a drill and 
fired several salvos, and the church bells rang. The many people 
opposing secession here, now lined up with the State and the die 
was cast. 

Signing the Ordinance of Secession in Baldwin Co. at the 
Capitol in Milledgeville, from Jones County were: James Mad¬ 
ison Gray, age 47, born in Georgia. His occupation was a planter. 
He owned at that time 64 slaves, his real property value was 
$21,000 and his personal property was $55,000. That year the 
books show that he made 163 bales of cotton, 145 bu. of wheat 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


103 


and 3,000 bu. of corn. On the Hill motion he voted, “No,” on 
secession he voted “Yes.” (Gray did not serve as a soldier.) 

The other signer from Jones County was Peyton T. Pitts, 48 
yrs. old, a planter, owner of 84 slaves, real property value was 
$62,000 and personal property valued at $62,000. He had made 
138 bales of cotton that year, 110 bu. wheat and 4,700 bu. of 
corn. Peyton T. Pitts was born in Jones County, and voted 
“Yes.” (He served as a soldier.) 

Georgia was the most populous state in the deep South in 1860 
and probably the strongest economically. Delegates were ap¬ 
pointed to meet at Montgomery, Ala. to organize the Confed¬ 
erate States of America. 

“On secession, this may prove interesting to know, that when 
in 1803, New England leaders grew white with rage over the 
idea of admitting Louisiana into the Union. Senator Plummer 
of New Hampshire said: ‘The Eastern States must and will 
dissolve the Union and form a separate government of their 
own, and the sooner they do this the better.’ Sen. Pickering of 
Mass, said ‘I rather anticipate a new Confederacy exempt from 
the corrupt influence of the aristocratic Democrats from the 
South . . . there will be a separation . . . the British Provinces 
(of Canada), even with the consent of Great Britain, will be¬ 
come members of a great Northern Confederacy’.” (John S. 
Tilly, “Facts Historians Leave Out,” p. 38.) 

“Then in 1814, New England held its famous “Hartford Con¬ 
vention” which plainly considered secession from the Union. Not 
only in 1814 but in 1845, John Quincy Adams and fellow New 
Englanders so opposed the admission of Texas that they openly 
urged withdrawal from the Union. 1845 was just fifteen years 
before the Southern secession, so when at last the South acted, 
it only followed an example suggested by New England, first in 
1803, again in 1814, and still again in 1845. What indeed, was 
the American Revolution but a secession of the thirteen colonies 
from Great Britain? We hail one as a glorious revolution, and 
the other as an infamous rebellion.” (Ibid., p. 41.) 

And so in Georgia other generations were to be born before 
prosperity returned and a new era dawned. And so the Old 
South would now be only a memory to be recalled in songs, such 


104 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


as “Bonnie Blue Flag,” “Dixie,” The Yellow Rose of Texas,” 
“Somebody’s Darling,” “Lorena,” “Gen. Lee’s Grand March,” 
“The Conquered Banner” and others. As Bruce Catton wrote in 
“Confederate Legend,” “The Confederate fighting man fought 
for a star-crossed cause and in the end was beaten, but as he 
carried his slashed red battle flag into the dusky twilight of the 
Lost Cause he marched into a legend that will live as long as 
the American people care to remember anything about the Amer¬ 
ican past. The war was cruel, brutal and exhausting—and yet 
somehow the legend glows with color and gaity and life. Men 
who saw the night coming down about them could somehow act 
as if they stood at the edge of dawn. They had an antic tough¬ 
ness about them. Things were finally too much for them, but 
down inside they were never quite licked because there can be 
something about human beings which in the last analysis is un¬ 
conquerable. They are all gone now with their tattered flags and 
their stained and faded uniforms, but they still speak to us 
through song and story. The Southern Confederacy, a nation 
for four years against all odds, kept a spirit of hopeless yearn¬ 
ing, a sense of drama and high destiny, hot pride, humor, a zest 
for action which ranked the Confederate private with the great¬ 
est fighting men the world has ever known. Back home were the 
wives or mothers, sweethearts and girl friends, who believed 
in the Southern cause with a passionate intensity that even the 
arrival of Yankee armies could not dim. They would sparkle 
with mocking defiance at the Federal officers, exulting in their 
own proud unconquerability. They gave up their all and stood 
back of their men to the end with the last help in foods and 
clothing they could get together, enduring terrific hardships.” 

If you could have asked a Confederate soldier why the South 
seceded, he would probably have given the following reasons: 
(“Facts the Historians Leave Out” by John S. Tilly) : 1. Our 
States went into the Union with the understanding that they 
had the right to withdraw. When membership proved unhappy 
we exercised that right. 2. We were sick and tired of being 
gypped by harsh tariff laws which enriched the North at our 
expense. 3. We were fed up with insane abuse from a group of 
South-hating fanatics. 4. Northerners had inspired murderous 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


105 


slave uprisings; why should we sit silently by and wait for more? 
5. The Republicans preaching hatred for the South, had elected 
a President, who as we had every reason to know was not our 
friend. 6. We had bought our slaves from Northerners; it seehi- 
ed hardly fair for the North to take them away from us withoiit 
at least returning some of the money which we had paid for 
them. 7. With New England lording itself as superior to all 
other sections, why should we continue to tolerate such snobbish 
airiness? 8. We had no idea of making war on the North. Lin¬ 
coln’s reinforcement at Sumter brought about the bombardment. 
All that we wished and planned was to go our own way and be 
let alone. 


Chapter X. 

War 1861-1865 — lones County 

The Great American Tragedy which took a million lives and 
untold treasure was spent in taking lives and destroying property 
of vast numbers of patriotic people Who fought for what they 
believed to be right. It destroyed, political, industrial and social 
systems of the South and set it back over a hundred years. The 
sad feature of that vast tragedy was that it could have been 
averted more than once. 

“The first great error was in adopting the Secession Ordi¬ 
nance without exhausting every possibility of an adjustment be¬ 
tween the North and the South as there was a strong sentiment 
against secession. The next great error was by President Lincoln 
in refusing overtures for a peaceful settlement before a shot had 
been fired. An earnest effort was made for a peaceful separation 
from the Union by a Commission composed of: Martin J. Craw¬ 
ford of Ga., John Forsyth of Ala., and A. R. Roman of La. 
who visited Washington, D. C. and asked for peace. At first 
Pres. Lincoln was disposed to accept overtures of peace but 
there were fire eaters in the North as well as the South and when 
seven Northern Governors called on Mr. Lincoln and urged 


106 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


him to subdue the South and offered supply troops for that pur¬ 
pose, Mr. Lincoln seems to have yielded to that influence for he 
soon reinforced Fort Sumter and the Confederate States con¬ 
sidering this an act of war, the Confederate Gov. ordered Major 
Anderson to take the Fort. On April 12, 1861 the shot fired on 
Fort Sumter was the electric spark that exploded the powder 
magazine. The war was on, with the approval of Mr. Lincoln. 
The North said the South began the war by firing the first shot 
on Fort Sumter and the South claimed the North began the war 
by sending to Charleston a hostile fleet with the declared inten¬ 
tion of reinforcing the Fort, which left no alternative but to 
reduce the fort or surrender Charleston.” 

(“History of Ga.,” by Cooper.) 

The South had legal rights in a great wrong, the North could 
only do its duty to civilization by breaking its obligations. It 
was a conflict between legally fortified wrong and unconstitu¬ 
tional and high-handed right. Someone has said that Providence 
gave the victory to civilization, against the forms of law, heroic 
devotion to a beloved duty, and as grand a chivalry as the world 
ever knew. 

The South was to drink the bitter cup and the era of hate was 
to poison the South as well as the North for many years to come. 
Only the part of the war specifically dealing with Jones County 
will be dealt with in this chapter. The Battle of Sunshine Church 
and Griswoldville and the letters and articles telling of the Fed¬ 
eral armies in the county, will be used. 

Address of Victor Davidson, April 26, 1941, at the 
unveiling of the marker commemorating the Battle of 
Sunshine Church. 

It was during the fateful July days of 1864, Sherman’s over¬ 
whelming forces were battering at the gates of Atlanta. The 
disastrous blunder of removing General Joseph E. Johnston 
commanding the defending Confederate forces and replacing 
him with Hood had been made. Hood’s foolhardy tactics had 
quickly resulted in heavy losses and every one could see that it 
was only a question of time before Atlanta was doomed to fall 
into Sherman’s hands. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


107 


General Joseph E. Wheeler, one of the greatest cavalry gen¬ 
erals of all time, was continuously outwitting and defeating his 
outnumbering Federal cavalry. Commanding one of his cavalry 
brigades was the gallant General Iverson who had been born 
at Clinton, and whose military prowess had been demonstrated 
on a hundred battlefields. 

Thus, in the latter part of July, we find Sherman calling a 
council of war of his cavalry Generals, Stoneman, Garrard, 
Kilpatrick and McCook. A plan was agreed upon for the cutting 
of Hood’s line of communications south of Atlanta, the utter 
crushing of Wheeler’s Cavalry which was guarding the railroad 
south of Atlanta, by a combined attack of Sherman’s entire 
cavalry forces. 

This was to be followed by the execution of one of the most 
daring plans of action ever attempted in warfare up to that time. 
It was the origin of the famous “Panzer” attacks which Hitler 
has so well perfected, and which the civilized world is now in so 
much dread. At Stoneman’s request, he was to make a bold dash 
south, capture Macon, release the 1100 federal officers held 
prisoners there; press on to Andersonville and liberate and arm 
the 30,000 prisoners there and turn them loose upon the country 
in the rear of Hood’s army. However, Sherman’s peremptory 
order was that Wheeler who was in the vicinity of Lovejoy must 
first be destroyed, an^r the railroad leading to Macon be cut. 

But Stoneman became so enthused over the possibilities of his 
expedition that he could not wait, and, leaving it to the other 
cavalry generals to attack Wheeler and cut the railroad, his 
command being in the vicinity of Decatur, he set out for Macon 
by way of Covington, Monticello and Clinton, passing by Sun¬ 
shine Church one mile south of Round Oak on July 28th. Then 
followed his repulse on Dunlap Hill at Macon, and the begin¬ 
ning of his retreat back up the road over which his cavalry had 
so recently marched, an expedition which he so confidently ex¬ 
pected to make him a place in history as one of the nation s 
greatest military leaders. 

At Sunshine Church was one of the most remarkable victories 
achieved by the Confederate forces. It was won by sheer daring 
on the part of Brigadier General Alfred Holt Iverson’s men in 


108

attacking superior forces. Stoneman’s repulse at Macon had dis¬ 
heartened his men. The false news of a large body of cavalry 
arriving in Macon made them fearful of a rear attack and they 
wei*e hastening back to the protection of Sherman’s army. 

The original plans made by Sherman and his cavalry Generals 
to destroy Wheeler’s cavalry near Lovejoy having miscarried, 
and Wheeler, learning of Stoneman’s advance down the east 
banks of the Ocmulgee River, caused him to detach General 
Iverson with his brigade, together with that of Allen’s and 
Breckenridge’s, to pursue Stoneman. Wheeler’s orders to Iver¬ 
son were not to attack Stoneman if the time or place was favor¬ 
able, but were: “Attack him wherever you find him.” 

Stoneman had the start on Iverson, but the latter by forced 
marches crossed the river and arrived in the vicinity of Sunshine 
Church on the night after the Battle at Macon. Advance guards 
learned of Stoneman’s retrograde movement, and communicated 
this information to Iverson, who began preparing his line of 
battle on the ground of his own choosing squarely across the 
road along which Stoneman was retreating. All the rail fences 
in the neighborhood were used in the erecting of breastworks. 

Lines of skirmishers were posted down the road towards 
Clinton with orders to engage Stoneman, who had ordered his 
men to continue through the night their hasty retreat. All night 
long the federal brigades under Capron and Adams fought these 
skirmishers, who gradually fell back towards their main line. At 
dawn on the 31st of July, 1864, the battle began in earnest. 
Stoneman took personal command of his advanced lines and 
throughout the entire day was under fire. On his left, he placed 
Adams’ Brig, with part of Capron’s; on his right, the remainder 
of Capron’s. His artillery was also under his personal command 
and posted on the hill now known as Stoneman’s Hill (Samuel 
Gordon property). He realized that his men were on the verge 
of becoming panic stricken, and, that the escape of his men de¬ 
pended upon their being able to break through the forces op¬ 
posing them. A general advance on foot was now ordered against 
Iverson, Stoneman leading. At first driving in the outposts, 
Stoneman was now met by heavy fire from Iverson’s men con¬ 
cealed behind the barricades made of fence rails. Then with a 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


109 


yell Iverson’s men charged Stoneman on foot. Unable to with¬ 
stand the attack, Stoneman’s left was turned. Detachments of 
Iverson’s cavalry charged the enemy on the right flank. Unable 
to break through, Stoneman’s command fell back, Iverson’s men 
continuously engaging them. 

If we are to believe the official reports of this battle made 
by the brigade commanders of Stoneman forces, never did 
soldiers fight as did Iverson’s; never such telling rifle fire; never 
such artillery precision; never did the wild rebel yell cause such 
consternation in their ranks. Iverson’s men seemed to be every¬ 
where. If driven back at one point, they rallied and drove back 
Stoneman’s men. 

Iverson was not only fighting for the South, not only for 
Georgia, but he was fighting for Jones county, in which he was 
born. He must destroy the enemy who was now upon his native 
soil. His whole force seems to have become infused with his 
spirit. 

Iverson knew nothing of what had occurred at Macon; he 
knew nothing of the fear of a cavalry attack in the rear from 
the direction of Macon, which was in every Yankee’s heart. He 
and his men felt that on them and on them only depended the 
defeating of Stoneman’s forces. 

Iverson’s artillery fire and the rifle fire of his sharpshooters 
were covering the field with dead and wounded. Stoneman’s 
artillery was running short of ammunition. Seeing that his men 
were utterly demoralized and could not withstand the onslaughts 
of Iverson’s men, Stoneman became desperate and apparently 
determined to die on the field. He had disobeyed his commander 
in not attacking Wheeler at Lovejoy, and may have heard of 
the disastrous defeats administered by Wheeler to the others. 
He had failed in his attack on inferior forces at Macon. And, 
now, his entire army was on the verge of destruciton. He re¬ 
solved upon last effort to break through. 

It was now in the afternoon (July 31, 1864). Stoneman or¬ 
dered every available man into line of battle except one regiment 
held in reserve. Again the lines of blue swept forward, again 
they met a withering fire. This time Iverson’s men hurled them¬ 
selves forward in a charge, uttering the blood-curdling rebel yell 


110 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


and with such impetuosity that nothing could withstand them. 
Stoneman’s right and left wing became panic stricken, throwing 
down their rifles and dashing towards where their horses were 
stationed, so hotly pursued by Iverson’s men that many of the 
horses were lost to the pursuers who mounted and continued to 
charge on federal horses. With the exception of 500 men, who 
remained under the direct command of Stoneman, the battle 
became an utter rout with every man for himself and the devil 
take the hindermost. 

Stoneman, himself, determined not to surrender but ordered 
what few who still stuck by him to continue the battle, For some 
time this was done, enabling those who fled to get a start on 
Iverson’s men. His artillery was now silent, its ammunition ex¬ 
hausted. Only a few cartridges remained for his riflemen, but 
still Stoneman insisted that they fight on. Finally, the few officers 
remaining with him, gathered about him and told him that it 
was useless to sacrifice these brave men; that the others had 
made their escape; that further fighting was suicide for all of 
them. Their pleas prevailed; the white flag was raised; and 
Stoneman with five hundred of his command surrendered. 

Upon the surrender, Iverson sent Breckenridge to pursue 
those who had fled and he captured and killed a number, the 
remainder breaking into small parties and making their way 
the best they could back to Sherman’s army. Iverson carried 
Stoneman and those who surrendered to Macon, where in a few 
months Stoneman was exchanged. Gen. Iverson is said to have 
been a classmate of Stoneman’s in Military School.

Prisoner of War 

General: 

I wish to say now through the medium of flag truce ... is 
in regard to how a small portion of my command became 
prisoners of war. Before I had completed what I desired to 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


111 


accomplish, I learned that a force of the enemy calvary was 
close upon my rear, the only thing I could do was to turn and 
whip this force. This I think we could have done had my com¬ 
mand fought as it ought to and as I hoped it would have done. 
Without entering into particulars—WE WERE WHIPPED 
and this principally on account of the bad conduct of the Ken¬ 
tucky Brigade in the attack during the forenoon and in fact 
throughout the day. In the afternoon the enemy attacked us, 
when Capron’s Brigade gave way at once and was followed 
by Adams (Kentucky Brigade) leaving me with Biddle’s In¬ 
diana Brigade and the section of artillery to contend against 
the whole force of the enemy, and cover the retreat of the 
remainder of my force. A portion of this Brigade, I sent to 
hold a crossroad and keep the enemy from getting between 
me and the main force, pack train, etc. This also gave way 
and followed the rest, so that near the end of the day, I found 
myself with about 200 of the 5th Indiana Cavalry and the 
section of the artillery. This regiment had been struggling the 
whole day previously. I insisted on fighting to the last, but the 
officers with me protested that being without ammunition and 
surrounded our escape was impossible and we must surrender. 
To extricate the section of artillery and men was impossible— 
and that in justice to all we should surrender. My own horse 
had been shot under me and I was scarcely able to mount the 
worn-down one and the only one I could find to replace the one 
I had lost and our chances of escape were so small that I con¬ 
sented to be taken prisoners of war, and as such our treatment 
has been everything that could be expected. Our loss in killed 
and wounded was quite large. I understand from captured fugi¬ 
tives that they were informed that I had surrendered the whole 
command and that the order was given for everyone to save 
himself. I have not heard from the Kentucky Brigade since it 
left. Capron’s Brigade was considerably cut up and several 
hundred captured. I feel better satisfied with myself to be a 
prisoner of war, as much as I hate it, than amongst those who 
owe their escape to considerations of self-preservation. 

I am very respectfully, 

George Stoneman

Marker of the Battle of Sunshine Church 

The marker near the site of the Battle of Sunshine 
Church states that the church was 440 yards south of the 
marker but it is really only about fifty yards south of marker, 
as with the help of reliable men of the vicinity we located the 
spring and church site where bits of slate in the earth from the 
slates used in the old field school there may still be found. Just 
north of this old church on another hill is the site of the old 
Hascall house which was used as a hospital. Not a vestige of 
the house remains but the deep well overgrown with blackberry 
bushes and trees is there, two gnarled old pear trees, many 
rows of May narcissus in the yard were still in bloom this 
spring and currant bushes after one hundred years and one side 
of the tremendous oak still shows the injury of the fire when 
the house burned later. These are the words on the marker: 
“On July 31, 1864, Federal Cavalry commanded by Major 
General Stoneman having been driven from Dunlap’s Farm 
near Macon retreated to Sunshine Church, 440 yards south of 
here. Gen. Stoneman formed his whole command in line of 
battle on the hill 200 yards east on Samuel Gordon’s farm. The 
site is called Stoneman’s Hill. Confederate forces under Gen. 
Alfred Holt Iverson charged his position. After heavy fighting, 
Gen. Stoneman surrendered and was taken to Camp Ogle¬ 
thorpe, Macon and imprisoned, until exchanged in September.” 

A clipping from Mrs. Carolyn Harrell from Macon states 
that her grandfather, Major R. R. Lawton was in this battle. 
He was a first honor graduate of Charleston Military Academy 
in 1862 and a Cavalryman. He was in Gen. Alfred Iverson’s 
Brigade until the close of the war and died Jan. 13, 1892. 

All of the oldtimers have told that the Yankees killed at 
Sunshine Church and in the vicinity were buried in the deep 
ravine nearby. Ovid Childs says that, as a boy, he remembered 
plowing in the bottom lands just south of Stoneman’s Hill (this 
was 30 years later) and had picked up brass spurs of Cavalry-

men until he had a bucket full. Several old men in the vicinity 
says all of their boyhood they had picked up lead bullets for 
miles around and used them as sinkers on their fishing lines. 
The author has a Yankee rifle, two cannon balls an unexploded 
shell, several lead 50 calibre bullets and a Confederate sword 
from this battle. 

Another Account of the Battle of Sunshine Church 

Stoneman was retreating from Macon through Clinton and 
skirmishing was taking place every few minutes. He decided 
to make a stand at old Sunshine Church near Round Oak. He 
placed his troops near the gaunt old log meeting house which 
was also used as a school. The church gave the battle its name, 
“Sunshine.” Gen Stoneman wheeled up his guns and drew his 
men into fighting formation and told them to fight. Through 
the tangles of honeysuckle vines, over the little branches and 
through the pine covered red hills the Confederates came 
swinging in and the battle was on. This was on Sunday, July 
31, 1864, and the day was hot and sultry. The old spring near 
the sight must have quenched the thirst of both Federals and 
Confederates as the ground was exchanged several times. At 
last step by step the Yankees fell back and looked with horror 
on the dreadful wounds which shell and rifle bullets can make 
in human flesh. Somehow both sides found the courage to hang 
on, until the sun was sinking into a red bank of clouds, then 
Gen. Stoneman believing that he was surrounded by more sol¬ 
diers than there really was, ran up the white flag and surrend¬ 
ered. He and 500 men were carried to Macon to prison. 

Letter from B. C. Ward 

On April 26, 1939 Mrs. Sophie Howard Myrick was given 
this information by B. C. Ward the last surviving veteran of 
Baldwin County. The occasion was the Confederate Memorial 
exercises and B. C. Ward was then 92 years old. He died the 
following Feb. 29, 1940. This is the letter B. C. Ward wrote in 
a bold clear script. He was the only surviving Confederate sol¬ 
dier fighting in the Battle of Sunshine Church.

Williams’ Brigade when we escorted Pres. Davis from Greens¬

in the battle of Sunshine Church. There were between 600 and 
700 men of William’s Brigade when we crossed the river above 
Macon at Popes and Dames Ferry. We were looking for the 
Yankees we had heard were in the vicinity, plundering and burn¬ 
ing. We found them near Round Oak and there was a hot battle 
around and in the vicinity of Sunshine Church, on Sunday July 
31, 1864. They had been deceived as to our number and sur¬ 
rendered to our commander Col. W. C. Breckinridge, with little 
resistance considering their number and the artillery. About 500 
men were captured with Gen. George Stoneman. General Alfred 
Iverson from Jones County was there with his brigade. We 
captured 3,000 horses which they had taken as they passed 
through the countryside. After we had captured them, we sent 
them back to Butts County and they mounted Lewis’s Kentucky 
Brigade of Infantry after Sherman had passed through. We lost 
a few men and some were wounded but the Yankee wounded and 
killed were considerable. Signed, B. C. Ward, Milledgeville, Ga.,

Stoneman } s Raid 

Since writing about Stoneman’s raid and his capture at old 
Sunshine Church near Round Oak, I have been informed by 
Francis Green, that he was at his father’s place, between Round 
Oak and Five Points on a furlough and a paroled prisoner. Up¬ 
on hearing that the Yankee raiders were coming he mounted 
his horse and rode up to Round Oak where he met them. They 
halted him and as he rode off shot at him, striking his saddle 
but didn’t hit him. 

When Stoneman returned from Macon with his command, he 
was met at Round Oak by Wheeler’s Cavalry, which was pur¬ 
suing him. I think Col. Clews was in immediate command of 
them but Iverson was the Brigadier. As soon as Green heard 
that the Confederate cavalry was after them, he met them at 
the Oak. He says the skirmishing began there, and that the 
Confederate battery or one cannon was under the old oak, and 
they gradually drove them back through the Frank Hascall place 
to the line which Stoneman occupied near Sunshine church. When 
he got to the road near Round Oak, he met a Confederate Cap¬ 
tain with about 25 cavalrymen, who asked if he lived here and 
if he knew the country. He said that he knew every pig path. 
So he was asked to lead them around the Yankee line and bring 
him into the road from Clinton in the rear of the Yankees. He 
told them he could, that he was a member of Co. B, 12th Ga. 
Regiment at home wounded and on parole and it would be death 
for him if caught, however he would go of his own accord and 
do what he could. 

They set off at a fast gait, he led them around Ben Green’s, by 
the old Butts place, the Luke Mercer place and came into the 
Clinton road at Wayside, where Jonathan Holmes lived and 
there at the well were several Yankees drinking water. The Con¬ 
federates charged them running up the road to Sunshine Church, 
as hard as they could go, Green and the others following shoot¬ 
ing and yelling. The Yankees believed a large force from the 
direction of Clinton was coming. They reported to Gen. Stone¬ 
man and he believed it, and that he was completely surrounded, 
so he put up the white flag, and in a few minutes the command

was surrendered. Some of them got out of the V and went toward 
Athens, but most of them were captured near Sunshine Church. 

Green at the risk of being killed in the fight or of meeting 
a worse death if captured as a paroled prisoner contributed 
more toward the capture of Stoneman than any other individual. 
He hated to violate his parole but he could not see his home 
attacked and not do his part regardless, and I think he deserves 
some kind of recognition from his state. 

John, Zack, and Bill Ussery and Hazel Caldwell in the upper 
part of the county enlisted in the Gray Company Jones County 
which became Co. F, 45th Ga. Regiment. They were under Capt. 
Bonner, made good soldiers and were as brave as they come. 
They were in the seven days’ fighting around Richmond. Hazel 
Caldwell was killed. Hal Christian belonged to John Morgan’s 
Cavalry in his raids through Kentucky and Tennessee. 

Plans were made at the old William Jones house (first court¬ 
house), to capture Gen. George Stoneman and men, and later 
carried out near Round Oak at Sunshine Church on lands of 
Samuel Gordon the grandfather of Col. Gordon Green and 
others.

Lieut. J. A. JValker’s Record 
Co. B, 12 th Georgia Regiment 

Lieut. J. A. Walker of Jones County was in as many battles 
as any man in the war of 1861-65. He lists some of the battles 
in which he was engaged as follows: (copied from his letters) 

Battle of Green Briar River, Oct. 5, 1861. Gen. Henry Jack- 
son commanding, Confederate victory. Battle of Alleghany 
Mt., Dec. 13, 1861, Gen. Ed Johnson commanding, Confederate 
victory. In this battle the enemy captured part of the quarters 
of the 12th Ga. Reg. Henry Hunt in passing a wounded Yankee 
threatened to kill him but Captain Hardeman said, “If you do 
I’ll cut off your head with my sword.” The next battle was “Mc¬ 
Dowell,” May 8, 1862, Stonewall Jackson commanding; Con¬ 
federate victory, my company lost 13 men in this battle and I 
got a bullet hole through my hat. 

Port Royal, May 23, 1862. Jackson commanding; Confed¬ 
erate victory. Winchester, May 25, 1862, Jackson commanding; 
Confederate victory. Cross Keys, June 8, 1862, Jackson com- 
manding; Confederate victory. Port Republic, June 9, 1862, 
Jackson commanding; Confederate victory. The Twelfth Ga. 
was sent to the extreme right of our line, over a mountain path, 
to reinforce Gen. Taylor’s Louisiana Brigade, which was having 
a hand to hand fight over a Yankee Battery posted on the moun¬ 
tain side. This battery was captured and lost three times, but 
finally held by the Confederates. I was in the Battle around 
Richmond, June 25 to July 1, 1862 (Seven Days), Gen. R. E. 
Lee commanding; Confederate victory. Next came Cedar Moun¬ 
tain, August 9, 1862, Gen. Stonewall Jackson commanding; Con¬ 
federate victory. My comrade from Jones County W. R. Chris¬ 
tian lost him arm. Next came the Battle of Manassas, August 
28, 29, and 30, 1862, Gen. R. E. Lee commanding; Confederate 
victory. Captain Isaac Hardeman was captured and sent to the 
old Capitol prison in Washington. Two of the best men in the 
Company were killed, Stewart and Branam. Stewart had 14 
wounds, we drove General Pope’s army with headquarters in 
his saddle from the field. 

Chantilla, September 5, 1865, General Lee commanding; Con¬ 
federate victory. Harper’s Ferry, Sept. 14, 1862, Gen. Jackson 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


121 


commanding, Confederate victory. I witnessed the surrender of 
the garrisons, 14,000. On the march from Harper’s Ferry to 
Sharpsburg, Van Clark and Dick Curry stole a duck, picked 
about half the feathers off, cooked it and then had a fight over 
it. Next came Sharpsburg, Md. Sept. 17, 1862, Gen. Lee com¬ 
manding; drawn battle. Lieuts. Henderson, Fennel, Stripling 
and Hunt were killed, and Beall was severely wounded. Hunt 
was killed 30 yards in front of the company, he was the bravest 
of the brave. A shell exploded in front of me wounding the file 
on my right, Renfro and Gibson and a comrade were shot dead 
at my feet. The cannonading and musket fire were terrific; the 
ground seemed to tremble beneath our feet. 

Fredericksburg, Dec. 1862, Gen Lee commanding; Confed¬ 
erate victory. I was shot through the hat and wounded in the 
side. One side of Lieut. Wilcoxton’s hat was shot off. Pender, 
Brantley and Curry were killed, many of the company were 
wounded. 

Chancellorsville, May 12 and 13, 1863, Confederate victory. 
Captain Beall was sent to the front to reconnoiter and came 
upon the Yankees. Abe James from Jones County shot at one at 
close quarters, missed him and turned cooly to Captain Beall and 
said: “I’m damned if I didn’t miss him.” At the same time minie 
balls and grapeshot were flying around too thick to be healthy 
or pleasant. The shells set fire to the woods. I saw a number of 
wounded with their hands and feet burned off. 

Gettysburg, Pa. July 1, 2, and 3, 1863, Corporal Clard, a 
fine boy and a gallant soldier was killed, many of the company 
were wounded amidst the awful roar of shot and shell. I heard 
my name feebly called, and saw a comrade in the agony of death, 
he tried to tell me to tell his mother amd sister something but 
passed on before he could finish. Our skirmishers were stationed 
in and behind the houses in the town and as I stepped into a house 
three of the skirmishers were shooting at a battery on Cemetery 
Hill. As I heard a terrific explosion and looked back a shell had 
hit the building and exploded and all three were killed. 

Battle of Mine Run, Nov. 1863, General Lee commanding; 
Confederate victory, R. W. Brindley was killed. While we were 
eating breakfast around the camp fires, the enemy opened fire 


122 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


and every man was quickly behind the breastworks except John 
Roberts who remained coolly eating his hardtack and drinking 
coffee. The Negro cook had run into the brush heap to avoid the 
shells. 

During the Battle of the Wilderness which took place May 
5-6, 1864 under Lee’s command, my attention was frequently 
attracted in battle to the daring and courage of Col. Isaac Har¬ 
deman, Capt. Beall, R. J. Smith, Pendor, Van Clark, Hunt, Abe 
James, Gantt, Renfro, Gibson, Moore, F. F. Green, John 
Glover, Dave Middlebrooks, Whidby and others. They faced 
the enemy with unflinching courage. Smith was the coolest soldier 
I ever saw in battle. Napoleon would have made him a Marshal. 

I was engaged in 31 battles. At Sharpsburg, Md. (Antietam) 
we were being forced back by hard licks from heavy battalion. 
“Stonewall” Jackson passed the regiment and said to Captain 
Carson: “Stand firm, Captain, I know this 12th Georgia. Every 
one of them are men of the finest caliber and heroes.” We held 
our ground until reinforced and then the command was, “Fix 
bayonets! Charge!” I heard General Ewell say the same thing 
to the regiment at Malvern Hill. 

Lieut. Walker wrote this letter to Captain R. W. Bonner at 
Clinton. Lieut. James A. Walker lived at Round Oak for many 
years and is buried there. The Ed Willis Camp, U.C.V. erected 
a tall shaft and dedicated it to Walker’s valiant services. He 
enlisted May of 1861 and after 31 engagements was paroled 
June 17, 1865. He commanded the sharp shooters of Doles 
Cook Brigade. After the 2nd Battle of Manassas he was award¬ 
ed the Lee Medal for gallantry at Chancellorsville. He married, 
Miss Turk and had two sons; Luther and Jamie Walker. By 
the side of Lt. J. A. Walker of the C.S.A. rests J. W. Turk

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


a Lieut.-Col. of the 65th Ohio Regiment. (By courtesy of Col. 
Thomas Spencer of Atlanta, Ga.) 

Chapter LXXVI (Page 895) 

A Circuit south of Atlanta—After the Rebel Lines of Supply 
— Stoneman’s Division Reaches Macon — Encounters Gen. 
Wheeler—Battle of Sunshine Church—The Squadron Sacrificed 
to Save Others—Half of its Men Killed Wounded or Captured 
—Experiences of those who Escaped—Some Interesting Per¬ 
sonal Incidents—The Squadron Rides Into Atlanta— 

We now come to what is known as “Stoneman’s raid,” during 
which the squadron was hit hard. The object of the expedition 
was to destroy the rebel line of supplies by cutting the railroad 
leading from Macon to Atlanta. Stoneman with four thousand 
cavalry on the left, McCook, with two thousand on the right, 
received orders to move around Atlanta, Stoneman by McDon¬ 
ough, and McCook by Fayetteville, thence to converge rapidly 
so as to arrive simultaneously at Lovejoy’s Station, thirty miles 
south of Atlanta. McCook started according to instructions, 
reached Fayetteville, where he destroyed a rebel wagon train 
and took two hundred and fifty prisoners. Thence he marched to 
Lovejoy where he arrived at the designated time, and proceeded 
to destroy the railroad at that point. Stoneman did not appear, 
but Wheeler did. Therefore on the 29th, McCook moved in the 
only direction left open by the enemy, to the southwest. At New- 
nan he was checked by a force of rebel infantry, until the pur¬ 
suers closed in around the rear. McCook however succeeded in 
cutting his way out, with a loss of five hundred men, and re¬ 
turned to Marietta. 

“McLaughlin’s Squadron belonged to the column of Stoneman, 
which had been concentrated on the left of the Union line, near 
Decatur and from that point passed around Atlanta to the east¬ 
ward. The following of the squadron’s adventures is a composite 
story compiled from the accounts furnished by Sergeant Pom¬ 
eroy, Sergeant Morris and bugler Everly. 

“The command started from the left on July 27th to carry out 
its part of the program. At the last moment Stoneman got per¬ 
mission from General Sherman to go below Lovejoy to Macon, 
and thence to Andersonville, for the purpose of releasing the 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


125 


Union prisoners there confined. Stoneman proposed this and 
Sherman only consented on condition that he should join Mc¬ 
Cook, and with the united force defeat Wheeler, and then 
send Gen. Garrards’ division back to the main army. Stoneman 
detached Garrard’s Division and with about three thousand men 
proceeded southward on hazardous and as it proved a dis¬ 
astrous expedition. 

“Although the start was made under favorable circumstances, 
Stoneman finally succeeded in eluding General Wheeler and 
crossed the Ocmulgee river high up near Covington, and follow¬ 
ed the river down the east bank. Reaching Clinton, detachments 
were sent out, which struck the railroad leading from Macon 
to Savannah, at Griswold station, and destroyed seventeen loco¬ 
motives and more than one hundred cars. One of the detach¬ 
ments burned the railroad bridge across the Oconee river, and 
all reunited in front of Macon. Stoneman shelled the town but 
the river lay between and he could not cross the bridge, which 
was strongly guarded with cannon in such a position that they 
effectively covered the approaches. The railroad bridge in like 
manner, was defended by 12-pounders placed on flat cars, which 
were run out on the bridge and discharged, and then drawn back 
for re-loading. This artillery duel was kept up for two hours, 
when Stoneman returned to Clinton, where his retreat was ob¬ 
structed by Generals Wheeler and Iverson.” 

Matters soon assumed a very critical aspect. Confronted by a 
largely superior force, as Stoneman supposed, further progress 
in carrying out the plan of the expedition seemed, impossible. 
The only alternative was for him to attempt to cut through the 
enemy’s line and endeavor to make his way, back to the army at 
Marietta. 

About sundown on the 30th of July, Colonel Adams’ Brigade 
met the advance of Wheeler’s command, and skirmishing was 
kept up most of the night. Just at daybreak Colonels Capron s 
Brigade, being temporarily attached to the 14th Ohio Cavalry, 
came up. As we marched forward everything was quiet, not a 
shot was fired on either side, but we all seemed to realize the 
crucial trial was at hand. 


126 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


On the 31st hard fighting began soon after dawn. That the 
enemy’s force was considerably larger than that of Stoneman 
was apparent. The Union troops were attacked in front, flank 
and rear. They made stout resistance but there seemed little 
hope of a successful issue. At one time the rebels were pushed 
back some two miles. At this point was the severest fighting of 
the day. (R.O.) The Union force was overwhelmed and com¬ 
pelled to fall back. 

About two o’clock it became evident that it would be impos¬ 
sible to get the command through the rebel lines. Stoneman was 
not disposed to lose his entire force, dispatched Col. Adams with 
a thousand men and Col. Capron with eight hundred to make 
their way back to the lines. With seven hundred men, including 
the Squadron he made a stand on the right of the road in the 
woods. He was determined if necessary, to sacrifice this force 
and himself in order to save the others. 

Ordered to dismount and charge the rebels, the men did so 
with the greatest spirit, creating much confusion in the hostile 
ranks. It was soon learned however that the enemy was in Stone- 
man’s rear, among the horses, with a strong force. It was then 
that the little band remaining with Stoneman was broken and the 
General was captured, together with the small guns in the road, 
from which the Squadron had deployed as skirmishers. Stone¬ 
man surrendered to General Alfred Iverson. His organization 
of course went to pieces, and it was every man for himself, to 
get away if he could. 

At the foot of the hill on which this fight occurred ran a small 
creek which formed a quicksand bog. It was in trying to cross 
the stream at this point that about half the Squadron was cap¬ 
tured. They eventually reached Andersonville, but not in the 
high feather they expected at the inception of the raid. About 
two hundred of this devoted band which remained with Stone¬ 
man succeeded in making good their escape, and at eight o’clock 
that evening endeavored to take a rest, by going into camp. Cap¬ 
tain Skeegs of Company A, was in command of the remnant of 
the Squadron. Sergeant Albert A. Pomeroy and fifteen men were 
detailed for picket duty. There was no disturbance at the picket 
post during the night, but when they returned to camp at day- 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


127 


break they found that the tired soldiers they had been guarding 
had been carried off by Wheeler. Sergeant Pomeroy and his 
fifteen men made the best of their way back to Marietta in good 
order. The force that had been dispersed straggled in for two 
weeks afterward. Captain Skeggs was among the last that reach¬ 
ed our lines. 

The engagement which ended so disastrously to the Squadron 
is best known to its members as the battle of Sunshine Church 
Officially it is designated as the Battle of Hillsboro (nearest 
town). The loss in killed and wounded was not as large as might 
have been expected, but these and the captured, reduced the 
strength of the Squadron by one-half. Several died in captivity, 
and a number lost their lives by the explosion of the steamer, 
Sultana. An account of this appalling disaster is given elsewhere 
in this volume, the action took place about one hundred miles 
from Sherman’s army. Those of the Squadron who finally reach¬ 
ed the Union lines endured great privation and suffering from 
hunger, and exposure and fatigue. Nearly all had very narrow 
escapes from capture. The Negroes gave them food and directed 
them on their way. Much of the time they traveled only by night, 
keeping in concealment by day. 

There is an interesting incident connecting this engagement 
with an engagement of a different kind, combining grim-visaged 
war and the tender passion which had a happy sequel. Sergeant 
Barzillah F. Morris and Israel W. Miller rode into action side 
by side. The first rebel bullet struck Morris, inflicting a severe 
wound, which completely disabled him, resulting in his capture 
by the enemy. A short time afterward a ball pierced Miller’s 
body from right to left passing through his blouse pocket. In this 
pocket he carried a photograph of a young lady to whom he 
was warmly attached—, or so to speak in the phrase of the 
time, “his girl” . . . The bullet left behind a round hole directly 
through that picture. Miller wholly unable to leave the field, 
soon found himself a prisoner. That he recovered from his 
wound is a marvel, but he did, and spent months of captivity, 
suffering the horrors of Andersonville and other Southern pris¬ 
ons. It goes without saying that he prized that photograph above 
all his other earthly possessions. Twice the rebels, with no fellow 


128 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


feeling in their Confederate souls in a spirit of meanness took 
it from him and flung it away. Each time when the eyes of the 
guards were not upon him, he managed to recover it and conceal 
it. (p. 893.) 

A Church for a Hospital—The end came at last, the prison 
gates were thrown wide open, and Miller returned home. The 
pleasant melody of wedding bells were soon heard, and the lady 
whose photograph had been through such a strange experience 
became Mrs. Miller. The picture here reproduced was taken a 
short time before the happy event last mentioned. The narrative 
is embellished with the joint picture, and Miss Catherine Sonnan- 
stine enjoys the distinction of being the only lady who appears 
among the warriors of the Sherman Brigade story. 

Early in the day of the battle, a field hospital for the wounded 
had been established at the house of a citizen named Frank Has- 
call (near Round Oak), in charge of Assistant Surgeon John L. 
Wilkins, Fourteenth Illinois Cavalry. When the break came this 
hospital was taken by the enemy, with the wounded. A place of 
worship called Sunshine Church, from which the action took one 
of its names, was fitted up for hospital purposes, and a week 
after the battle the wounded were removed thither. As soon as 
sufficiently recovered to permit their transfer, they were taken 
to military prison at Macon or Andersonville. 

The wounding of Sergeant B. F. Morris, at the beginning of 
the action, has been mentioned. He was taken prisoner at the 
Hascall house. While there, before his removal to the Sunshine 
Church, he was most kindly cared for by the wife and daughter 
of a Confederate Colonel, named Hunt. They visited him often 
while he was a patient in the church and did much to relieve his 
suffering, Morris writes: 

“Twenty-five years later I visited the battlefield of the Sun¬ 
shine Church accompanied by my wife and youngest daughter. 
We went to visit the Southern lady, Mrs. Jessie Hunt, who had 
done so much for my comfort while I was there a wounded 
prisoner. We spent three weeks with the family, and while there 
I preached to the people in a meeting house built since the war, 
on the spot of ground where the hardest fighting was done, and 
where most of the dead and wounded on both sides had lain. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


129 


Some of the shells thrown during the battle, were lying under 
the house where I spoke. While we were there Mr. Frank Has- 
call made a barbecue for us. It was in his house that I passed 
my first night a prisoner. While lying there on the floor, wound¬ 
ed and bleeding, I put in most of the night in meditation. I won¬ 
dered if I would ever live through the prison life, and meet her 
whom I hoped to make my wife when the war was over. While 
we were seated at the table, on the exact spot where I had lain 
that night twenty-five years before, my feelings were indescrib¬ 
able. I looked at the floor and then at my wife, and it was with 
difficulty that I could control my emotions.” 

Morris has this little item in his diary, under the date of Octo¬ 
ber the fifteenth: “Got my boots half-soled today, cost me ten 
dollars.” Whether it was in greenbacks or Confederate money, 
he does not say. 

Bugler Thomas Everly of Comoany B tells this experience of a 
party of wanderers. “After the breakup a great many were un¬ 
able to get their horses and were captured. The writer with three 
others, secured horses, and taking on one comrade each, which 
made eight of us all told, we started to hunt a way out. We 
succeeded although we had but a slim chance. After six days 
riding, with scarcely any sleep and very little to eat, we came to 
the Chattahoochee river, about twenty-five miles south of At¬ 
lanta. We crossed the river and finally struck the line at Mari¬ 
etta. During our march for freedom we were mainly guided by 
the sound of General Sherman’s artillery at Atlanta. The closest 
call that we had was at Athens, Ga. Here some rebel home 
guards lay in wait for us, but we had just received from some 
Negroes a fresh horse a piece and using our spurs freely we 
were soon out of sight.” 

Before leaving the subject oi: Sunshine Church, it may be of 
interest to say that our war historians who have written of 
Stoneman’s raid agree that the opposing Confederate force was 
not near so large as General Stoneman believed. General Sher¬ 
man expressed the opinion that Stoneman could have eluded the 
enemy or cut his way through and saved practically all of his 
command. One writer says: “His sacrificing himself to enable 
his subordinates to make good a retreat was personally honor- 


130 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


able to him, but the facts as afterwards discovered, showed that 
he had been deceived as to the enemy’s force, and thus his posi¬ 
tion was by no means desperate.” 

Shortly after this event Lieut. Jacob O. Stout of Company B, 
was detailed with sixteen men to picket duty. Sometime in the 
afternoon a girl came to the post and told him that a small force 
of rebel cavalry was getting ready to surprise it. The Lieutenant 
sent out part of his men to learn the truth as to this report. 
While these were absent the rebels came and captured the entire 
squad remaining at the post. When the scouting party returned 
they were also captured, with the exception of Corporal John 
Kope and Darius Robinson, who succeeded in cutting their way 
out and returning to camp. Isaac Wayne was mortally wounded 
in this affair. 

During the remainder of the month of August Sherman’s 
army was lying in the trenches, engaged in the siege of Atlanta. 
The Squadron now had scarcely fifty men left for duty. Before 
the evacuation of Atlanta it had little to do except to recuperate 
from the Stoneman raid. During the last days of August, Sher¬ 
man planted the body of his army squarely in the rear of the 
army of the Confederates and during the night of September 1st 
Hood’s army evacuated Atlanta. The following day the city 
was occupied by the Union troops of General Slocum. The 
Squadron participated in the movement of Sherman which com¬ 
pelled Hood to let go of Atlanta. Cavalry was constantly in 
motion upon the front, flank and rear of the enemy and had 
some heavy skirmishing with the enemy. In company with other 
horsemen, the Squadron rode into the city, amidst great rejoicing 
and demonstrations on the part of the Yankees. 

During the Atlanta campaign, the cavalry division to which 
the Squadron belonged was ostensibly attached to the Twenty- 
Third Corps. There was always more or less good-natured chaff¬ 
ing between the two arms of the service. The infantryman would 
sing out when the opportunity offered. “Whoever saw a dead 
cavalryman?” To which the cavalryman promptly replied: “Did 
an infantryman ever move fast enough to see a LIVE rebel?” 
The record shows that the losses of the Twenty-Third Corps 
and the cavalry were about equal, proportionate to their num¬ 
bers.”

Mr. Clisby: 

Stoneman and his band of thieves and robbers as you are 
aware, have been through our village and county, and have de¬ 
spoiled our people of many valuable goods. 

I was absent from my home when they came to our town, 
Friday last, July 29th. At my home were no whites but my two 
small sons. They cut into with heavy axes, my bureaus and sec¬ 
retary, and destroyed and carried off everything valuable, all of 
my silverware, table cutlery, bed cothes of every kind, all of my 
wearing apparel, notes, titles, deeds, money, shoes, hat, gun, 
pistol, bacon and every horse and mule I had and took an ambro- 
type of my wife now dead two years. 

My servants begged them not to take that as well as every¬ 
thing else but they plundered on even to the underwear and 
dresses my wife left at her death, and thus they treated our 
people. Now these are to be the people who will be our task¬ 
masters if we fail in this war. 

It has been thought by my friends that it was not only proper 
but might conduce to the good of our cause by placing this be¬ 
fore the public, for the truth and correctness of which I refer 
to my neighbors. 

Very respectfully, 

(Signed) R. W. Bonner. 

The following is an extract from a private letter, published in 
The Telegraph and Confederate 9 and dated Clinton, 

Nov. 26, 1864. 

“I snatch a moment to advise you of the destruction com¬ 
mitted by the enemy here. Many of us are utterly ruined. Hun¬ 
dreds of our people are without anything to eat. Their stock of 
cattle, hogs, are killedhorses and mules with wagon taken off; 
all through our streets are to be seen dead horses and mules, 
entrails of hogs and cattle killed, and in many instances, the 
hams only taken; oxen and carts even taken away so that we are 
not able to remove this offensive matter; our schoolhouses and 
most of the churches burned. 


132 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


“Cap. Bonner’s beautiful residence in ashes, together with 
everything of his that could be found, destroyed. He was away 
from home. 

“Atrocities most heinous were committed. Morgan’s Tannery 
with a quantity of government leather destroyed, and his family, 
like many others, deprived of all food. Clothes were taken off 
the backs of some of the contrabands; and female servants taken 
and violated without mercy by their officers, and in some in¬ 
stances they were reared as tenderly as whites. 

“But I cannot recapitulate in detail the many outrages. The 
residences of Y. J. McGray, Dr. Blount, J. H. Blount, and 
others, burned. 

(The second unsuccessful raid on Macon was on Sunday, 
Nov. 20, 1964, at 3 :30 p.m.) 

(The residence of J. H. Blount which was burned was the old 
home of his boyhood on the road to Gordon and Irwinton, called 
the “Estate Place.” Soon after the war, in 1865, Col. Blount 
lived for a time at Lowther Hall before occupying the house 
on the Monticello Road, recently the home of the late Bartlett 
Ross.) 

Sherman!s Army at Clinton 

From Saturday, Nov. 19, until Friday, Nov. 25, 1864. Copied 
from The Telegraph and Confederate (Macon, Ga.) of Nov. 
26th. 

To the Refugees From Jones County 

The advance of the Federal column reached Clinton about 
2 o’clock on Saturday afternoon and encamped around the vil¬ 
lage. This consisted mainly of Kilpatrick’s cavalry. The infantry 
consisting of the 15th and the 17th army corps under Gen. How¬ 
ard followed from Sunday morning until Wednesday afternoon, 
and encamped during the whole time within a few miles of Clin¬ 
ton. The rear of the column did not leave the county until Friday 
morning of the 25th. 

It will thus be seen that they remained in the county about a 
week. Our condition can scarcely be imagined. To say that the 
cruel enemy has left universal ruin and desolation in their tract 
would but imperfectly convey the truth. Everything has been 
swept away, as with a storm of fire and the “besom of destruc- 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


133 


tion.” One-third of Clinton is in ashes. The Courthouse is left, 
but the records destroyed. The whole country around is one wide 
waste of destruction. Corn cribs, gin houses, mills, barns, and 
many residences are all for the most part gone. Those who re¬ 
mained at home had most of their clothing and furniture spared, 
but everything out of doors was given up to indiscriminate plun¬ 
der. Hogs cattle, horse, mules, milch cows, and poultry of every 
kind were slaughtered or driven off without exception. Nearly 
all the bacon, corn, fodder, wheat, flour, syrup, etc. was taken 
and destroyed. All the farms in their tract are desolated, fences 
torn down, rails burned, wagons, carriages, buggies, outhouses, 
and all dwellings not occupied at the time sharing the same fate. 

The enemy has gone at last, but he has left desolation in his 
track. We invite you back to your homes, but you will find them 
to a great extent in ruins. There is but one spirit left in the 
breasts of the people, as far as we can learn, and that is an 
undying hatred of the Yankees and eternal resistance to their ty¬ 
rannical sway.

A Letter Written by W. T. McCullough , Sr. 

I hereby trariscribe from memory some of the scenes which 
transpired at my home in Jones County, Ga. in 1864, when I 
was eight years old. When I was six years old in 1862 I visited 
for some weeks my grandmother Tufts who was then residing 
at Midway where Oglethorpe University was located, at which 
institution two of her sons were attending. Dr. James Woodrow, 
one of the Professors and an uncle of Pres. Woodrow Wilson, 
lived directly across the street and in front of my grandmother’s 
house. Dr. James Woodrow’s two children Jimmie and Alice 
^and I played together at their home. 

The war clouds having arisen, the storm gathered as 1 saw 
my two young uncles drilling in the street after they had joined 
companies to be sent away to fight. I also saw while on my visit 
there Sidney Lanier who boarded at Grandmother Tufts, and 
heard him play his flute on the porch at night for it was in May. 
The two years following were filled with dread, doubt and priva¬ 
tions by reason of the blockade, then in the fourth year 1 had 
my first intimate experience with war. About sun up on a Sunday 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


135 


morning in August I awoke to hear cannons firing, apparently 
close by and they continued to fire till near midday and in the 
afternoon we heard details of the battle at Sunshine Church near 
Round Oak. That night Col. Clews and his staff came to our 
house and spent the night. They had with them a Yankee pris¬ 
oner who slept on our front porch. Col. Clews was in command 
in that fight and captured General George Stoneman who was 
making a raid to try to destroy the Georgia railroad. In tfi£ 
fall we heard of much fighting around Jonesboro and Atlanta, 
and late in October we could see the red reflection of camp 
fires and buildings burning on the sky at night. Finally in Novem¬ 
ber the wave of destruction fell upon us. The evening before the 
arrival of Sherman’s army, Mother had taken us and had gone 
to Blountsville to consult with Grandmother as whether to re¬ 
main in the line of Sherman’s march or to refugee. After con¬ 
sultation she had decided to stay and we were preparing to 
return home the next morning when we heard shots being fired 
and in a few moments an officer came into the room where we 
were, loading his pistol and cursing. From then during the next 
four days which it took for them to pass the storm broke in all 
its fury and the morning of the fifth day we saw great volumes 
of smoke and flame arising where our house stood. On the next 
day Mother and I walked back two miles and saw the blackened 
chimneys and heaps of ashes where opr beloved home had,stood. 

All that we had left were the clothes we had on; no food, and 
no place to sleep. I have never seen such complete destruction 
and only those who saw it can realize what it was like. For days 
we ate our corn left on the ground by the \ ankee s horses. 

It took ten plagues and the death of all the first born to force 
the Egyptians to give up slavery. Such is history. What would 
we do without the precious promises, “Whom the Lord loveth 
He chasteneth.” 

The above facts are written from memory and subscribed to 
this day Feb. 5, 1940.

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


An Account of How the Fighting in Jones County 
Came About 

“From Wizards of the Saddle” by Bennett Young, pp. 556- 
565 by Boston Pub. Co. 1914. 

Atlanta was evacuated on Sept. 1, 1864. Gen. Joseph E. John¬ 
ston has been relieved on July 17, 1864, Gen. Hood assuming 
command. The enemy was slowly but surely closing the cordon 
around Atlanta, and as the flanks of the Federal army stretched 
far out east and west of the doomed city, the Federals used their 
cavalry harassing the rear of the Confederates and destroying 
railroads south of Gen. Hood’s position, rendering not only the 
occupancy difficult, but the feeding of the armies impossible. 

The Federals never lacked for fresh horses, as they were 
taken from every farm. These were not the blooded horses which 
the Southern Cavalry had taken to war in 1861 but they could 
carry their riders at moderate speed a long distance in a day. 

It required the Federals many months to learn successfully 
the plans under which the Confederate cavalry operated which 
had so often disturbed and destroyed communications, but now 
with Hood at bay in Atlanta, the Federals using their own and 
the experiences they had learned from the Confederates began 
their raids. Gen. Johnston had turned over to Hood 41,000 In¬ 
fantry and 10,000 Cavalry. 

Gen. Joseph Wheeler’s marvelous courage and enterprise had 
greatly endeared him to the soldiers of the army of Tenn. There 
was no risk he would not assume or service he would not accept. 
On July 26, 1864, with his limited command, he had relieved 
Hardee’s Corps and taken the place of the Infantry in the 
breastworks. He was informed that large Cavalry forces had 
started in the night with ten davs’ rations marching easterly, 
westerly and southwardly from the rear of Sherman’s army. 
Sherman’s army covered a space along the Chattahoochee for 
25 miles. 

Wheeler knew these raids so large in scope would have an 
important bearing on the maintenance of Hood’s army about 
Atlanta. He chafed with the knowledge of his cavalrymen dis¬ 
mounted and in the infantry, while the Federals were raiding 
and destroying everything in the south. When the railroads were 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


137 


cut then they could not go on. On the morning of the 27th Gen. 
Wheeler was directed to still hold the breastworks and to send 
such force as he could spare in pursuit of the Federal Cavalry 
raiders. He could spare only 1500 men and his only hope was 
that they could delay and harass the enemy. The Federals left 
at dawn of the 27th and by night had covered 25 miles to the 
south. All through the 27th Wheeler was exchanging dispatches 
with Hood. Wheeler was longing to go after the Federal raid¬ 
ers, but Hood would not let him. At last the menace became so 
great Hood dare not ignore the consequences, realizing that the 
lines for food and supplies must be kept open or Atlanta must 
fall, and with great reluctance he agreed to let Wheeler try his 
hand with the vigorous and aggressive foe. At nine o’clock at 
night the order came that Wheeler might go after the raiders. A 
great strategist himself, Wheeler figured the enemy would strike 
the Macon railroad at Jonesboro or Lovejoy, 20 miles south of 
Atlanta. 

Gen. Sherman had entrenched his forces about nine miles east* 
of Atlanta. Near Peachtree Creek the Confederates had erected 
strong fortifications and against this, day by day Sherman was 
forcing his volunteers. At this time two railroads entered At¬ 
lanta from the south over a common entrance. One railroad 
running southwest reached the Alabama line at West Point, the 
Georgia railroad had already been destroyed. One ran to Macon 
80 miles away. 

Gen. Sherman started three Cavalry forces to break up these 
two railroads upon which the Confederates relied for troops, 
supplies, ammunition and transportation. He knew Atlanta was 
invincible as long as she could get supplies. One force was started 
due west of Atlanta crossing the Chattahoochee at Campbellton, 
under Gen. E. M. McCook, was to move southeast and strike 
the Macon railroad at Jonesboro or Lovejoy. Two other forces 
of Cavalry under Gen. George Stoneman and Gen. Garrard were 
to meet at Lithonia and tear up the railroad between Macon and 
Atlanta. 

Gen. Sherman had great faith in Gen. Stoneman. Stoneman 
was born in Chautauqua County, N. Y. in 1822, graduated from 
West Point in 1846 and entered the First Dragoons. In 1855 


138 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


he became a Captain in 25th U. S. Cavalry and was in command 
of Fort Brown when the war started. He became the chief Cav¬ 
alry Commander of the Army of the Potomac. One of Stone- 
man’s chief ambitions was the release of the Federal prisoners 
at Andersonville. He had been given authority under certain 
conditions by Gen. Sherman after destroying the railroads south 
of Atlanta to march through to Andersonville. Now Gen. Mc¬ 
Cook was born in Steubensville, Ohio in 1835. His family was 
known as the “fighting McCooks,” and he measured up to the 
family records. He was in the second Indiana Cavalry at Shiloh, 
Perryville and Chickamauga. He was brave and self-reliant with 
a good record behind him. The third man, Gen. Kenner Garrard 
was born in 1830 in Cincinnati, grandson of James Garrard, 
once Gov. of Kentucky. He graduated from West Point in 1851. 
He was captured in Texas in April 1861 and released on parole 
(on frontier) and exchanged in 1862. He fought in the Rappa¬ 
hannock and Pennsylvania campaigns, commanded a Cavalry 
division of the army of the Cumberland. 

So it was reasonable that Gen. Sherman would expect much 
of these three dashing and brave commanders with more than 
9000 cavalrymen, he believed they could march into any part of 
the South and that no force the Confederacy could muster could 
not even delay, and surely never defeat them. 

Gen. Wheeler had under him in his defensive operations men 
who had done much fighting and wherever tried had not failed, 
but only two-fifths as many men as the Federals had. 

Gen. Alfred Iverson was born in Clinton, Jones County, Geor¬ 
gia on Feb. 14, 1829. He graduated from a military school and 
served in the Mexican War when only 17 years old. For dis¬ 
tinguished service he was made a first Lieut, in the U. S. Caval¬ 
ry. He was in Kansas during the Mormon trouble. He resigned 
when Georgia seceded from the Union and became a Colonel in 
the 20th North Carolina Infantry. He won distinction at Gaines 
Mill and was wounded in the seven days’ fight around Richmond. 
He fought at South Mountain and Sharpesburg. He was made 
Brigadier General in 1862. At Chancellorsville and Gettysburg 
he acquitted himself with credit and later was sent to Rome, Ga. 
to command state forces and became Brig. Gen. of the Georgia

Cavalry, attached to Martin’s Division under Gen. Wheeler. 

Gen. Kelly was sent by Gen. Wheeler to follow Gen. Garrard, 
whose division was the first of the Federal forces to concentrate 
at Jonesboro and Lovejoy. Garrard seems to have failed in his 
part of the undertaking. At Flat Rock he waited for Gen. Stone- 
man, as he did not appear, Garrard marched to Covington, he 
found that Stoneman had passed two days before going south. 
He blamed Gen. Stoneman and in his report to headquarters he 
said, “On the 27th the division was placed under Gen. Stoneman 
who ordered it to Flat Rock and abandoned it to its fate.” After 
being surrounded by a superior force for twelve hours he extri¬ 
cated himself from the perilous situation. 

Had he followed on after Stoneman in Gen. Iverson’s rear 
he might have won a superb victory. Gen. Kelly had only one- 
third the force that Garrard had and the force was not superior 
as reported., 

Gen. Iverson being thoroughly familiar with the territory 
where Gen. Stoneman was to operate, was assigned the pursuit 
of him. Gen. Wheeler who detested being cooped up in the in¬ 
fantry along Peachtree Creek, decided to follow Gen. McCook, 
whom he seemed to fear most and whose past was a sure indi¬ 
cation that he would make plenty of trouble wherever he went. 

Wheeler assumed a task at which any soldier might hesitate, 
trying to stop the progress of the Federal Cavalry. Many Con¬ 
federates had faced great odds but none so formidable, numeri¬ 
cally superior and all within a ten-hour march to strike the 
heaviest blow. 

Wheeler had two-fifths as many men as his opponents had. 
If he defeated one the other two could combine and crush him 
which meant disaster to Gen. Hood. Wheeler stayed in the sad- 
cle day and night without rest. He only weighed 125 pounds but 
was a great soldier. He had many conflicting emotions as he rode 
into the darkness and danger. The ninety days before this had 
been the most anxious and eventful of his career, but now was 
the hardest of all. He pressed on to overtake the 1500 men, the 
responsibilities were appalling. He had split up his small force 
in order to oppose three Generals, McCook, Garrard and Stone¬ 
man. 


140 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


He could only give Iverson 1400 men, Kelly 600 men while 
he had 800. He attacked the Federals at Flat Shoals with 800 
against 2400. He captured three supply wagons, a number of 
prisoners and from these he discovered that Stoneman had gone 
on south and that he was fighting McCook. He found that all 
three Federal forces were to unite at Macon, destroy Macon and 
all of the precious stores and manufactories so essential to 
Hood’s forces. They would march on to Andersonville to re¬ 
lease 30,000 prisoners and in Stoneman’s wagons were guns to 
arm most of these prisoners. 

Wheeler sent Iverson after Stoneman while he tackled Mc¬ 
Cook. He attacked McCook with all that he could muster. These 
ragged pursuers marched seventy miles in twenty-four hours, he 
encountered McCook and captured 300 Federals, but McCook’s 
Cavalry came in and was about to turn the tide, when Gen An¬ 
derson came to Wheeler’s aid and the Federals retreated with 
severe losses. 

Stoneman was on the way to Macon pillaging and burning as 
he went. He was enthusiastic over destroying Macon and the 
supplies and on to Andersonville forty miles southwest of Macon 
where he could arm the 30,000 prisoners and finish Georgia up 
with desolation and terrorism. It was a noble ambition, a splen¬ 
did design but it turned out that Stoneman did not have the 
dash, grit and nerve necessary to carry it through. 

Covington, Monticello, Hillsboro, Clinton down to the very 
gates of Macon. He threw a few shells into the city. Gen. J. E. 
Johnston was there recuperating. He gathered the old, the 
young and everyone who could bear arms to resist the invaders 
and made every effort to defend the city. 

Gen. Stoneman was to have met McCook and Garrard, but 
his march had been so easy he had the world in a sling, he moved 
so rapidly that he cast prudence to the wind and went on without 
a doubt crossing his mind. Stoneman knew that Hood couldn’t 
send any help, so with fresh horses well fed on the fat of the 
land he felt that he could outride, out fight anything that Wheel¬ 
er had in Georgia. 

The Confederates were fewer, mounts not so fresh and fat 
but Iverson knew as Wheeler did what this pursuit meant, so he 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


141 


hung on with a death grip to Stoneman, giving him no rest. 
Stoneman could go faster than Iverson but Iverson had some 
Georgians and Kentuckians all told 1300 men but they were 
veterans, some had been with Forrest and some with Wheeler 
and knew how to fight. 

Stoneman was surprised to find such intense opposition at Ma¬ 
con. When he saw organized troops, gun implacements protect¬ 
ing the bridge, guns run out on flatcars to protect the approaches 
to the city, his nerve began to fail. Had he pushed on to An- 
dersonville he could have done irreparable damage, but he hesi¬ 
tated and lost. How he wished for Garrard and McCook. He 
knew now his ambition had led him to disregard military pru¬ 
dence, so instead of swinging around Macon to Andersonville, 
he retraced his steps. The coming had been easy but the going 
proved more difficult. Iverson’s men handicapped by the condi¬ 
tion of their horses had lost no time coming up behind Stone¬ 
man. Gen. Iverson was experienced, brave and vigorous. He had 
not had before the opportunities that a separate command gives, 
but now he knew that vigorous and savage attack was the way to 
win. 

When Stoneman turned back he went north of Clinton, (about 
halfway between Wayside and Round Oak) and found Confed¬ 
erates blocking the way. He had lost his head, he was brave but 
not his greatest in disaster which is an important qualification in 
a Cavalry General. He assaulted Iverson’s forces with vigor, but 
they returned shot for shot. They had artillery and knew how 
to use it. Stoneman knew that this was the fight of his life and 
the fight for his life. 

Through the morning of July 31st the battle raged, the Con¬ 
federates became more aggressive, the rebel yell was heard from 
hill to hill, they drove in Stoneman’s left flank, and from that 
moment Stoneman’s troops parted with courage and faith in a 
victory. 

Col. Silas Adams with a brigade went in one direction and 
Col. Capron with another brigade riding hard and furiously went 
in another. Stoneman gathered some of his advisors around him 
and they agreed that they had lost and he told them that he 
would remain with 600 men and fight long enough to enable 
Adams and Capron to get a start and make their escape. 


142 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


This was heroic but foolish and it is said that his leaders 
criticized him for not letting Adams and Capron fight in the 
last ditch while the leader rode away. It is certain that leaders 
like, Pleasanton, Phil Sheridan, Wilson or Buford of the North 
and Southerners like, Forrest, Wheeler, Shelby, Marmaduke 
Morgan or Stuart or Hampton would never have done this. 
They would have kept all their forces together and fought it 
out, 2500 against 1500 too. 

When the Confederates cut Stoneman’s command into two 
parts, they had won the victory and scattered his forces, whose 
chief aim was personal safety and escape. 

It did not take long to arrange the details of Stoneman’s sur¬ 
render. He made it with tears in his eyes and was oppressed and 
humiliated at this sad ending of a campaign which at the begin¬ 
ning looked like a glorious walk-over and his name would go 
down in fame. As soon as the capitulation was over, hardly had 
the ink dried on the paper than Iverson sent Breckinridge and 
his Kentuckians in pursuit of the fleeing rebels, who at every 
moment became less capable of battle. 

Iverson marched his prisoners to Macon under escort. Those 
vho had expected to enter the city as conquerors, now came as 
dejected captives. Their dreams of glorv turned into despair. 
Stoneman surrendered at Sunshine Church. The wounded were 
left at Frank Hascall’s home and in Sunshine church and other 
homes. 

Capron hurried through Eatonton, Madison and Athens seek¬ 
ing safety. They went back a lot faster than they came down. 
Their detours increased the distance. They exchanged their tired 
horse for mules along the Georgia path of retreat as they has¬ 
tened on. 

Familiar with the country, and spurred with highest effort, 
and a desire to punish these raiders, Breckinridge with his Ken¬ 
tucky brigade rode hard after the fleeing Cavalry, taking cat 
naps in the saddle, they went on with tireless energy trying to 
catch these men before they could rejoin Sherman around At¬ 
lanta. 

These Federal soldiers felt the depressing effects of the rout 
and the defeat of Stoneman, and they dropped out, sometimes 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


143 


in companies, or squads, forgetting that their safety lay in keep¬ 
ing together, presenting a defiant rear to their pursuers. 

Adams made a shorter run and escaped with half his com¬ 
mand. They united south of Athens, spurring their mounts to 
the limit to get more miles between them and the enemy. They 
had been in the saddle for days and decided to camp and get 
some rest before a final spurt into Sherman’s lines and safety. 
At “Jug’s Tavern,” fifteen miles from Athens (Winder), they 
felt fairly safe and tried to get some much needed rest. 

Col. W. C. P. Breckinridge who was commanding Gen. Wil¬ 
liams’ Kentucky brigade and was foremost in pursuing Capron 
realized his entire force could not overtake Adams and Capron. 
He had hung savagely to the rear keeping an inner line to At¬ 
lanta to drive the enemy as far east as possible, but his horses 
and men needed rest, and were giving out; with grief and appre¬ 
hension he watched horse after horse white with foam lie down 
and refuse to move. Hastily assembling his entire brigade of less 
than 500 men he went down the line and picked the least ex¬ 
hausted of horses and men which numbered 85. He placed these 
under the command of Lt. Robert Bowles, one of his best officers 
and told them to follow hard after Capron and Adams and 
attack them whenever and wherever they could. These men 
caught the inspiration of a great opoortunity and so cheering 
and waving to their exhausted comrades they struck out. Those 
behind that could come on at a slower pace cursed their luck 
that they were deprived of the exciting chase. They followed the 
85 with Lt. Bowles, as they went on to catch the fleeing enemies. 

Adams and Capron exhausted, were getting some much needed 
rest at Mulberry River which was crossed by a wooden bridge. 
550 Federals were stretched out on the ground to catch a few 
hours’ rest, the horses tied amone the trees. They had many dead 
and wounded comrades behind them and scores had been cap¬ 
tured, as wearied they rested, the first since leaving Macon. Just 
before dawn on August 3, 1864 they heard the rebel yell and 
the sharp crack of revolvers resounding through their camp. A 
number of Negroes were around the outskirts of the camp who 
had taken their masters’ mules and followed the Yankees. At the 
first charge of the Confederates the mules stampeded, the terror- 


144 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


stricken Negroes rushed through the camp of the Federal sol¬ 
diers. The cries of the frightened Negroes combined with rebel 
yells added to the confusion and discomfort of the Federals in 
the dark. The Federals mounted their horses and started in a 
rush, dashed to the bridge and as the animals crowded on it, the 
bridge collapsed and dropped those passing over it into the river, 
below, cutting off the escape of those left behind. 

Those 85 Confederates were busy everywhere, the Federals 
were completely demoralized, they gladly surrendered and asked 
for protection. In the darkness they could not see the small force 
that had scattered them and without arms, they were helpless and 
so exhausted that all power of resistance vanished. 

In his report Col. Capron said, “Just before dawn the morn¬ 
ing of the third a body of the enemy’s cavalry came dashing up 
in my rear as near as I can ascertain, passed around the main 
body of the pickets on both flanks, striking the road where the 
Negroes lay. The Negroes became stricken and rushed into the 
camp of my men who were yet asleep, as they had had only one 
and one-half hours of sleep, throwing them into confusion. They 
charged into my camp driving and scattering everything before 
them. Every effort was made by the officers to rally the men and 
check the enemy’s charge but it was impossible to keep them in 
line, as most of them were without arms and ammunition. Par¬ 
tial lines were formed but owing to the confusion and darkness 
they gave way. A stampede now took place, a portion of the men 
rushing into the woods and the balance running down the road 
and attempting to cross the bridge over the Mulberry River in 
our front. The enemy continued to charge my men, killing and 
capturing a large number. In their rush across the bridge it gave 
way precipitating many of them into the river. The men now 
left, scattered in every direction. I became separated from my 
command, and made my escape through the woods, arriving at 
this place on the morning of August 7th.” 

The ones who participated in this combat at “Jug’s Tavern,” 
considering the numbers involved always considered it one of the 
really great victories of the war. 

There was no chance to pass Mulberry River now the bridge 
was gone and the early morning hours were spent gathering up 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


145 


fugitives up and down the banks and in the woods. We had over 
300 and hardly had they been corralled, when Gen. Breckinridge 
and those we left behind rode up to help their comrades, who 
had achieved a great victory by riding on before. The prisoners 
were marched to Athens. 

A great feast was prepared in Athens and the folks gathered 
to thank the Kentuckians who had punished the Federal raiders. 
Congratulations and gratitude were the order of the hour. 

Capron escaping on foot, found his way back to the Federal 
lines, there was hardly a squad left in his command to go the 
thirty miles between them and Sherman’s line around Atlanta. 

(Note—Stoneman wrote from Macon that Col. Capron was 
captured.)

Stoneman's Raid—Battle of Sunshine Church 
S. H. Griswold—1908 

In August 1864, Gen. Stoneman of the Federal Cavalry, left 
the army of General Sherman who was then beseiging Atlanta, 
near Decatur on the Ga. railroad, with his cavalry division for 


146 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


the purpose of taking Macon, release the prisoners and then pro¬ 
ceeding to Andersonville to release and arm prisoners. They 
came through Newton and Jasper counties and into Jones. He 
sent a detachment from above Clinton, by the Stewart place to 
Wilkinson County to the bridge across the Oconee River which 
they burned. They committed other depradations, burning the 
jail, the fine home of Capt. Bonner then on to Macon by Rob¬ 
erts Station and the Styles place, some taking to country roads. 

Gen. Howell Cobb was in command of the department with a 
few companies of green militia, home guards and convalescent 
soldiers. These he hastily formed and gave them such guns and 
ammunition as he could get. He hastily appointed field officers 
for the regiment and marched to East Macon. Upon Stoneman’s 
approach they were placed in line of battle on the hills on both 
sides of the road at Cross Keys, which is opposite the hill where 
Capt. Dunlap lived. The Yankees formed their line on the hill 
on the Dunlap place. One company from Jones County was com¬ 
manded by Tap Holt. Bob Lundy had been appointed Capt. and 
Bill Brooks Lieut. He was lying down in the corn field when 
skirmishing began. Uncle Mem Williams said, “Captain, what 
must an old man do who can’t run, I have rheumatism so bad.” 
The Captain said that he was the very kind he wanted, as they 
weren’t going to run. Bob Kingman was in this fighting, and they 
were all pushed back, but rallied and came back up by Fort 
Hawkins and made a stand. Skirmishing kept up for an hour or 
two and the Yankees retired. I never understood why, because 
that was a green outfit and would have been unable to have 
stopped a direct charge. 

We heard later that Stoneman got word that Confederate 
Cavalry under Col. Clews and Gen. Alfred Iverson was coming 
down through Jones, and knowing that the river at Macon was 
in front of him he hesitated, then decided he had rather meet 
the Confederates back up farther. Here he made a sad mistake, 
for gathering his men he marched through Clinton hoping to 
escape but was met at Sunshine Church between Wayside and 
Round Oak by Clews and Iverson who so disposed their forces 
that he surrendered after some brisk fighting, he ran into 'their 
V-shaped trap and did not get out. Some of his men escaped but 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


147 


over 500 were taken prisoners and many wounded and killed. 
The men that escaped toward Athens were overtaken by Breck- 
enridge and captured. 

Stoneman and his men were taken to Macon and put in the 
stockade. It is said, that Stoneman cried when he found that 
with a boldness and dash, he could have gained his purpose and 
won. 

A Negro belonging to Sam Griswold, named Minor, ran away 
and joined Sherman’s forces and acted as a guide for him in 
Jones County. He made himself very obnoxious by leading the 
Yankees in their depredations on Jones County people and when 
Gen. George Stoneman surrendered, Minor was captured and 
swung to a limb of a nearby tree. John Sparrow was another 
Negro who joined the Yankees and after the war came home 
with the blue Yankee uniform on and a discharge in his pocket. 
During these days of lawlessness many incidents occurred in 
Jones County. There was a band of horse thieves with head¬ 
quarters between Cedar Creek and Devil’s Half Acre. They 
were connected with other bands all over the South stealing 
horses. Dr. J. F. Barron made them surrender his horse at the 
point of a gun. It was several months before this gang was 
broken up. 

Col. Benjamin Beck of the 9th Ga. Regiment who was at 
home wounded, but was with Tap Holt’s crowd fighting, was 
captured by Stoneman at Macon but recaptured at Sunshine 
Church by Clews and released. The men Stoneman had sent to 
burn the Central railroad bridge at Oconee did the work, and 
returned to Stoneman at Sunshine and it was they, who captured 
Beck. That was the bunch who got away but later captured. This 
was the first real battle oh Jones County soil. The next was at 
Griswoldville. 

Stoneman was in such a hurry that he had burned and looted 
only those easily accessible, along the roads. Col. James H. 
Blount was in command of a company of Cavalrymen in Macon, 
some of these officers were, Orrie Tufts, Noel Pitts, Roger 
Smith, who had moved to Wilkinson county. This cavalry was 
acting as scouts for General Cobb and had met the enemy at 
Clinton and skirmished with them all the way to Macon. Noel 


148 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Pitts, because of exposure and illness was taken sick and died 
soon after this. He was a son of Captain Jack Pitts and a broth¬ 
er of the late John Pitts and an uncle of Gus Pitts. He was a 
splendid young man, trustworthy and capable. His older brother 
Pate had been killed a few months before at the 2nd Battle of 
Manassas. He was a gallant soldier of Jones County. 

When Stoneman made his raid on Macon, he detached a squad 
or company above Clinton and sent it by way of Pine Ridge, Ben 
Finney’s place, old Salem church, Flat shoals and to Squire 
Choates where just beyond his house the road forked to Gordon, 
down the Gordon road and on dows the Central railroad to the 
bridge across the Oconee river which they burned. Taylor Pitts 
lived on the east side of Flat Shoals creek near Salem church. 
The Yankees made Taylor Pitts and Bill Wood ride an old mule 
in front of them to Squire Choate’s house where they took his 
horses and made Choates also go along to Gordon. They all re¬ 
fused until the Yankees cocked their carbines and forced them 
ahead. After going into Gordon there was so much confusion 
they all escaped and got back home. Choates had one son, Dick 
and two daughters, Mrs. P. T. Pitts, Jr. and Mrs. Richard 
Gibson.

under the command of Gen. George Stoneman, was on the way 
to take Macon and to go on to Andersonville and release 30,000 
prisoners there, but met with such resistance at Macon they 
turned back, met with resistance a few miles south of Clinton,

came on up to Sunshine Church near Round Oak. Gen. Alfred 
Iverson with about 1300 men had formed a V and the Federals 
walked into it. The old hill is still called Stoneman’s Hill, for 
it was here that Stoneman met his Waterloo. The Confederates 
were enfilading the Federals with shot and shell from every side, 
Stoneman’s left flank gave way, he gave orders, to break out if 
they could, while he remained with 600 as a holding fight to give 
the others a chance to get away. Soon Stoneman ran up the white 
flag and surrendered his magnificient cavalry to the ragged band 
of Confederates. 

This battle was fought about a mile and a half from the old 
Hunt home and about a half mile from Frank Haskell’s home 
(F. B. Haskell), Mr. Haskell’s wife was Mr. Jesse Hunt’s 
sister. Mr. Hunt always said, he had seen the bullets on all sides 
of the Haskell house and that the Sunshine Church was simply 
riddled with bullets. 

The Federal wounded were carried to the church and to the 
home of F. B. Haskell who gave over his whole house to them. 
There the Federals were tenderly nursed and cared for. Mrs. 
Jesse Hunt cared for the many wounded who were placed in 
Sunshine Church, and did all that she could to alleviate their 
pain and suffering. Each day she arose early, prepared delicacies 
for the sick and was driven to Sunshine Church and to her sis¬ 
ter’s house, the Haskell’s where she not only wrote letters home 
for them, and fed them, but changed dressings on the wounded. 

In the possession of the Hunt family is a letter yellow with 
age written by the wounded men as they recovered and were 
carried to Macon to prison. It was an appeal to General Sher¬ 
man that none of the Hunt family or their property be molested 
when he should pass through. 

The letter written in a fine slanting hand, reads, 

“We, the undersigned members of General Stoneman’s cav¬ 
alry command, Army of the Ohio, United States cannot permit 
the opportunity to pass (now that we are about to leave this 
place, in all probability not to meet again in this world), of ex¬ 
pressing our feelings to Mrs. Jesse Hunt for her many acts of 
kindness and sympathy to us during our stay at this hospital. 

Though she may have suffered from us, she has forgotten 


152 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


everything in the natural feelings of a noble and generous dis¬ 
position, considering only how she could relieve our wants and 
alleviate our suffering, visiting us frequently, soothing our sor¬ 
rows by friendly words and bringing us delicacies for the sick and 
wounded. May our Father in Heaven who sees all things and 
knows the innermost secrets of our hearts, reward her bounti¬ 
fully. Though we may never have a chance to repay her kindness, 
the recollection of having done a good deed will be some comfort 
to her. 

“We go to return perhaps in a short time to our several homes 
or it may be to linger in some loathesome prison camp; but 
wherever we are during the remaining portion of our lives, 
and in the prospective family circles, when peace shall have been 
restored to our dear land, the name of Mrs. Jesse Hunt will be 
remembered with feelings of fond recollections. 

“We earnestly request that any of our troops who may here¬ 
after pass through the country will refrain from injuring her 
property in every respect. Adieu kind lady, may every blessing 
be thine is the sincere wish of, Yours respectfully: John T. Wil¬ 
kins, Asst. Adj., 1st Kentucky Cavalry; Lieut. Daniel Murphy, 
1st Kentucky Cavalry; George W. Glosser, Co. B, 8th Michigan 
Cavalry; Thomas W. Kelly, Co. K, 5th Indiana Cavalry; Denny 
Donolson, Co. M, 14th Illinois Cavalry; Andrew Cotron, Co. D, 
1st Kentucky Cavalry; Sidney Tudey, Co. G, 1st Kentucky Cav¬ 
alry; B. F. Morris, Ohio Cavalry.” 

There were some who signed the letter who died from their 
wounds and were buried under the tall pines and oaks, and when 
Sherman’s forces burned the church in November, 1864 these 
graves were discovered and the information given to the Med¬ 
ical Director of the Federal Army. This made such an impres¬ 
sion on him, that in his report to the General, he mentioned the 
kindness of the citizens to the wounded. So even now, where old 
Sunshine Church once stood, out under the trees somewhere are 
unmarked graves of many heroes. 

“Under the sod and the dew, 

Awaiting the Judgment Day, 

Under the one the Blue, 

Under the other the Gray.”

Unfortunately when Sherman’s Army passed through Jones 
County, later, Mrs. Hunt was not at home, and the troops were 
never shown the letter asking protection for the Hunt property, 
and all of it was destroyed, though the furniture was carried 
out, the house itself was not burned. (See picture, as it stands 
today.) 

After years had gone by, peace declared and the folks in Jones 
County were starting from scratch to try to make a living, the 
Hunts along with the rest, in 1888, a letter came to Clinton to 
the Postmaster asking the whereabouts of Mrs. Jesse Hunt. The 
letter was signed by B. F. Morris, Shenandoah, Ohio. The ad¬ 
dress of the Hunts was sent and the letter below was received 
(now the letter is yellow, faded with most peculiar writing 
which makes it very difficult to read, because Morris’ elbow 
on the right arm was shattered and he never had the use of that 
hand again, he had learned to write with the left hand). 

Morris was the first man wounded at the Battle of Sunshine 
Church. Morris’s letter says: “Twenty-five years ago, the last 
of this month, I was wounded by the first gun fired at the Battle 
of Sunshine Church and I was one of the wounded that was left 
at that little meeting house, for about two months. Your noble- 
hearted wife, was so faithful in her labors of visiting us and 
ministering to our wants while we were there. The aid she gave 
us and her presence there made an impression on my mind that 
will never be forgotten and ever since I reached home, while 
talking of my prison life, I always speak of Mrs. Jesse Hunt. I 
often tell my wife and children about you. There are many 
things I would like to ask about folks around there and especially 
those who helped in our need. I should like to know if the little 
meeting house is still standing. ’ That is all that s left of the 
letter. 

A newspaper was sent to Mr. Hunt with the two letters pub¬ 
lished in it called “The Shelby News,” Shelby, Ohio, August 14, 
1889, and in the letter column we find the reply of Mr. Jesse 
Hunt. 

“You fought for what you thought was right, I did the same, 
the war is over, peace has blessed our land. We are in the Union 
and we both live under the same flag and I am willing to defend 


154 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


it as you did 25 years ago. We are one people and one govern¬ 
ment; you are the old North and am the new South. The church 
you stayed in for two months was burned to the ground by Gen. 
Sherman’s Army. Within twenty steps of the place where the 
little meeting house stood is a railroad. You ask if our property 
was protected, no not in the least. Everything was destroyed 
except the dwelling—stock of all kinds, everything in the house 
and 40 bales of cotton burned, even our furniture was destroyed. 
My wife was not at home and could not present your kind re¬ 
quest, asking for protection of our property.” 

Several letters were exchanged between the two, and a little 
later Mr. Morris and his wife and daughter came and spent two 
weeks visiting the Haskells and the Hunts. Morris walked into 
the Haskell’s home and into the room where he had been wound¬ 
ed 25 years before, he could hardly hold back the tears, when he 
thought of the pain and hopelessness that was in his heart, as 
he looked over the spot where he lay in bed, there were his ini¬ 
tials carved on the wall where he had put them. 

In 1890 Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Hunt were invited by the Morris 
but Mrs. Hunt could not go, so Mr. Hunt went alone. While 
he was there he was the guest of honor at the Federal re-union 
of the Sherman Brigade. He not only was there but made a 30- 
minute speech. It is said when Jesse Hunt got to speak he picked 
up a silver fork, looked it over carefully and said, “I was just 
seeing if this was my wife’s silver the Yankees carried off.” 

Morris wrote to Mrs. Hunt saying, “Dear Mrs. Hunt: ‘My 
wife and I returned home today from the reunion of the Sher¬ 
man Brigade at Mansfield, Ohio, and I hasten to inform you 
that Mr. Hunt captured the whole brigade. We gave him a place 
on the speaker’s platform, by the side of Senator John Sherman, 
of this state, Mr. Hunt addressed an audience composed of more 
than 1000 intelligent men and women, for more than 30 minutes. 
He was greeted with cheer upon cheer and spontaneous bursts of 
applause. So much so, that Hon. Sherman had to quiet the multi¬ 
tude and he declared that he had listened to many fine speeches 
in the house of Congress, but Mr. Hunt’s speech was the finest 
he had ever heard. 

“Mr. Sherman gave him a cordial invitation to visit him at his 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


155 


elegant mansion, which he has done, today. When the speaking 
was over the people pressed upon him, from all sides eager to 
press his hand. We had to take him from the stand so that all 
could shake his hand as they passed by, going out of the amphi¬ 
theater. Your presence only was needed, to have made you the 
center of the crown of rejoicing.” 

After this, several Northern men brought their families to 
Jones county, purchased farms and took up their residence here. 
Among them was W. F. Gladden, who had fought in the Battle 
of Sunshine Church. Thirty-one years after the battle, he acted 
as a pallbearer at the funeral of Mrs. Jesse Hunt, who had been 
a friend to him as a soldier. John T. Creigh from Ohio whom 
Jesse Hunt had met on his trip to Ohio, came down and fell in 
love with Jesse Hunt’s daughter Hattie, married her and lived 
at Round Oak the rest of his life. They prospered, were fine 
citizens and were membe’rs of the Round Oak Methodist church. 
They had no children, and now rest in the Hunt lot, at the cem¬ 
etery here, at Round Oak. 

UNWRITTEN HISTORY—FROM THE JONES 
COUNTY NEWS, JULY 23, 1908 
By S. H. Griswold 

A battle fought in Jones County but never recorded 

Just one mile below Griswoldville was old’18 station on the 
Central railroad. This was exactly 10 miles from Macon and 
10 miles from Gordon. 

Across an open field one-half mile away, upon a hill stood the 
house of Mr. Duncan, who once owned the lands around this 
station, but when Mr. Sam Griswold moved his gin shop from 
Clinton to Giswoldville the railroad 'moved the station to that 
place and Mr. Duncan sold his lands to Mr. Griswold and 
moved to Macon County. No one occupied this house—its fields 
were allowed to grow up in hedge and bushes. 

When Sherman’s army came through Georgia Gen. Howell 
Cobb, by order from General Smith commander of the Georgia 
Militia (the former was in command of Macon), sent Gen. 
Philips with a brigade of militia to Griswoldville to make a 


156 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


demonstration against Sherman’s columns so as to draw them 
from Macon. Upon the approach of this brigade General Kil¬ 
patrick, commanding the cavalry, Davidson of Sherman’s army, 
who had occupied and destroyed Griswoldville, withdrew from 
that place to the ridge of the Duncan farm and formed line of 
battle. Dismounting his men and using them as infantry to man 
the temporary breastworks made of rails, etc., his left flank was 
protected by Big Sandy Creek Swamp and rested on it; not far 
from where Reynold’s mill now is and his right by the Central 
rail embankment a fourth of a mile below the old 17 station— 
this ridge extending from the one to the other and along its edge 
he made his breastworks, stationing his battery of several guns 
at its top and immediately in the Duncan house yard. This posi¬ 
tion gave them a perfect view and sweep of the old field which 
fronted it and over which the militia would have to pass if they 
attacked him. 

There were more than 100 acres in this old field and it was 
bare of any trees or things that might be used to hide or protect 
a body of troops and it was nearly one-half mile from a small 
branch which was some 40 yards from the works and at the foot 
of the hill upon which the Yankees were stationed to the old 
station and the woods from which the militia must start if they 
attacked. This branch had a swamp some 20 yards wide and was 
full of gallberry, box tree briars and other piney woods growth. 
This branch and swamp ran at the foot of the hill and parallel 
with the Yankee line all the way. The old field lay comparatively 
level, sloping gradually from the station down to this branch. 

General Philips, with his brigade of militia, marched from 
Griswoldville down the railroad to old 18 station, then he formed 
line of battle, his left resting on the railroad at the old station, 
his right extending down the edge of the woods in the direction 
of Big Sandy Creek. 

A section of Anderson battery of the Confederate army of 
Tennessee commanded by our own Henry Greaves, who was its 
first Lieutenant was stationed at the station and in front of the 
enemy’s line, the line being formed in the edge of the woods, 
was ordered to charge across this old field and to drive the 
enemy from their position. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


157 


No braver troops ever made a charge than did this brigade 
which was composed mostly of old men and boys. Led by their 
officers they left the cover of the woods on the double quick, with 
a yell and with fixed bayonets, they made for enemy, who with 
repeating carbines and several cannon made sad havoc of these 
brave men as they charged across this old field. Hundreds were 
shot down, many were killed, yet they bravely went forward, but 
no valor of effort of as few men as were there could avail them, 
some of them succeeded in getting to the breastworks of the 
enemy on the hill beyond the branch, but the most of those who 
were killed, or wounded stopped in the swamp of the little 
branch where they could find some protection and cover. 

The \ ankees simply kept them off and so great was the slaugh¬ 
ter of the militia men by the enemy that they told some citizens 
after the fight that they actually got sorry for those brave fel¬ 
lows and would not shoot them. They said that they knew that 
they must be militia as no old veterans would have made a fight 
like that. 

The artillery did fearful damage with its grape and canister, 
as these men charged across this old field. Our guns under Lieut. 
Greaves were well handled, did considerable execution amongst 
the enemy. One shell from his gun killed several horses and men, 
disabling one gun in the yard at the Duncan house. 

This fight was in the flank of Sherman’s march, one mile from 
it ran the Clinton and Irwinton road and on the road was one 
corps of his army which upon hearing the fight at old 18 formed 
line of battle at Mountain Spring, dug temporary breastworks 
through the cemetery there, but as soon as they found out that 
the Confederates had been checked by the cavalry they resumed 
their march towards Irwinton, the others retired to Griswold- 
ville and then to Macon. 

Although this fight was made by a brigade of Confederate 
militia infantry against Kilpatrick’s Cavalry Division of the 
Federal army yet no mention is made of it in the histories. It 
was a very bloody fight and I have been informed by Julius 
Brown of Atlanta, that these statistics show more casualties than 
any other fight of the war in proportion to the men engaged. 
Mr. Brown is a son of Gov. Joseph E. Brown, who was then 


158 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Governor and commander-in-chief of the state militia and this 
was a brigade of his troops, hence his interest in searching for 
the statistics. 

It was a very bloody fight by one brigade of militia. They 
were from all over Georgia and many a good man laid down 
his life for his country in a very useless fight. Col. Redding was 
killed here. Wm. Jolly, of your county was killed and several 
wounded. I know that an experienced commander would never 
have led his men into such a charge upon a mere order to make 
a demonstration and so unnecessary was it that even the enemy 
remarked that they knew it was raw troops they were fighting as 
you could not have gotten seasoned ones to have made such a 
fight. I don’t know who was to blame, but it was a great mistake 
and error. I was not in this battle but I lived at Griswoldville 
and knew every inch of the ground over which it was fought as 
I had shot doves, partridges, hunted rabbits in the old fields and 
on the branches until it was as familiar to me as household 
words. Capt. Robt. H. Barron commanded a company which 
was from Jones County in this fight. (Battle Nov. 22, 1864.)

Battle of Griswoldville 

There is no record that I can find of the many Confederates 
killed in this Battle of Griswoldville, but there were many from 



HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


159 


Jones, as well as Wilkinson, Twiggs and surrounding counties. 
From Monroe County I find William A. Redding and his brother 
James M. Redding sons of Capt. Dan S. Redding and Maria 
Searcy Redding, both killed at this battle at Griswoldville. 

In “The History of Wilkinson Co.,” by Victor Davidson, he 
says, “There was not a bush or a cornstalk left on that hill and 
many of these boys were from Wilkinson County. Henry Mercer 
was the first one wounded, Capt. A. A. Beall seized his gun and 
fought the enemy. The size of the engagement was small but it 
could justly compare with Pickett’s charge at Gettysburg in the 
bravery shown by the militia companies. There was mourning in 
many homes that night for the boys and old men who nobly but 
vainly died that others might be spared. It was madness to fight 
against so great odds but those boys felt that their homes and 
loved ones were depending upon what they did that day. If that 
battle could be won, many homes and towns would be saved from 
the torch and insults of the bluecoat army.” 

The Sam Griswold Gin Works which had been making about 
900 gins a year was leased to the Confederate government in 
1862 at Griswoldville. This cotton gin factory was converted 
into a pistol factory. This factory made 3,600 cap and ball re¬ 
volvers, calibre with rifled barrels and shaped like Colt’s re¬ 
volvers. The frames were of brass which they could cast and 
work more easily. The cylinders were made of iron twisted to 
make it stronger. Most of this metal was salvaged from things 
in the county as the Federal blockade had shut off imports. 

In Nov. 1864 Sherman’s forces saw that this entire works was 
leveled to the ground, only the smokestacks remained standing. 
The Yankees took all of the pistols that were around, and at 
that time, they were the best ones made.

Nov. 21, 1864—Monday. Camped near Hillsboro, town was 
burned. This day I went into one planter’s house, found him at 
home and very frightened. He felt worse to see his property all 
leaving him. 

Nov. 22, 1864—Tuesday. Had breakfast—ground frozen— 
I slept cold last night. Went down the road four miles, we passed

the place where Gen. Stoneman surrendered last summer. (Sun¬ 
shine Church.) A widow woman in a pretty white house nearby 
is said to have taken care of some wounded. Passed but a few 
plantations today, land cleared off but much of it worn out and 
turned out to grow up. Went 9 miles very slowly and camped 
at 10 o’clock. Ground frozen—snow this A.M. blew off cold. 

Nov. 23, Wed. A.M. Very cold—passed Clinton out 2 miles, 
hindered terribly by mud, lost a man (taken prisoner). We got 
in camp at 10:30 at night, wagon train did not get in until 2 
A.M. Mii^h of Clinton is burned—passed within 10 miles of 
Macon today. The rebs are hanging on our flanks today. 

Nov. 24—Thurs.—Burned all of the houses in Gordon except 
one—the 2nd Div. had a sharp little fight with the rebs near 
here yesterday, repulsed them with great losses. (This must 
have been at Griswoldville.) 

Nov. 25—Friday—Passed Irwinton—and burned the town, 
much cotton. This is sandy land, lots of timber of pine, the coun¬ 
ty site of Wilkinson Co. sits on a barren hill. 12th Ill.—1st and 
2nd Brigades—All along we loaded up and carried off every¬ 
thing that was eatable for men or beast and then burned what 
was left.

Captain: I have the honor to report that the affair of yester¬ 
day at Duncan’s Farm near Griswold, was of greater magnitude 
than was at first supposed. 

Early in the morning of the 22nd Nov. I received orders from 
Major Gen. P. J. Osterhaus, commanding 15th Army Corps, to 
take up a strong defensive position, near the church, and with 
one Brigade to make a demonstration in the direction of Macon. 
I selected the Second Brigade, commanded by Brig. Gen. C. C. 
Walcutt, composed of the following Regiments: Fortieth Illinois 
Infantry, Lt. Col. H. W. Hall commanding 206 enlisted men; 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


161 


46th Ohio Inf., Lt. Col. I. N. Alexander commanding 218 en¬ 
listed men; 103rd Illinois Inf. Maj. A. Willison commanding 
219 enlisted men; 6th Iowa Infantry, Maj. W. H. Clune, com¬ 
manding 177 enlisted men; 97th Indiana Inf., Col. R. F. Catter- 
son commanding, 366 enlisted men; 100th Indiana Inf. Maj. R. 
M. Johnson commanding 327 enlisted men; total present for 
duty 1,513; and one section of Battery B, First Michigan, Capt. 
Arndt commanding. About the time I started, the pickets of 
Brig. Gen. J. Kilpatrick were driven in by a superior force of the 
enemy. Gen. Walcott moved forward about 2 l /> miles on the 
Griswold road, with a heavy line of skirmishers, which drove 
everything in front of them to a point beyond Griswold. The 
forces met on this reconnaissance were a part of Wheeler’s 
Cavalry. I, then, by the direction of General Osterhaus, drew 
Gen. Walcutt’s Brigade back to a strong position on the Duncan 
Farm, and posted it in the edge of the woods, with open fields 
in front, the flanks resting near a swamp impassible except at 
one or two points, and directed temporary works of rails and 
logs to be thrown up. About two o’clock the enemy attacked with 
Infantry (militia), three lines deep and numbering about 5,000, 
four pieces of artillery (12-pounder Napoleons) and two Bri¬ 
gades of Wheeler’s Cavalry in reserve. The enemy moved across 
the open fields in three compact lines and gained a ravine within 
75 yds. of our works, from there they made three assaults, but 
met each time with a bloody repulse. The fight continued until 
sundown, when they retired leaving their dead and wounded on 
the field. Shortly after dark the Brigade was withdrawn to the po¬ 
sition near the church. About the middle of the engagement Brig. 
Gen. C. C. Walcutt was wounded severely in the leg; he retied 
from the field and Col. R. F. Catterson, 97th Indiana Inf.rms- 
sumed command of the Brigade. He showed marked ability in 
the manner in which he handled the troops. Sfeortly after the 
engagement opened the section of the Battery was withdrawn on 
account of the severe fire from the enemy’s lines, then within 100 
yards of our position, and very destructive to the men and horses 
of the bajttery. About 4 o’clock I sent Major Baldwin, 12th Ind. 
Inf; 1st Brigade to report his Regiment to Col. Catterson who 
put him on the right of his lines to prevent the enemy from 


162 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


turning that flank. I also applied to Col. Murray for some Cav¬ 
alry to cover the flanks; he kindly sent a Regiment on each flank, 
covering and watching the crossing of the swamp. 

I cannot speak in too high terms of the coolness and gallantry 
of Brig. Gen. C. C. Walcutt and Col. R. F. Cattetson, 97th Ind. 
Inf. The skill with which they handled the troops and the re¬ 
sults obtained show them to be men of marked ability. 

The rebel loss as near as could be ascertained without actual 
count, was 300 killed and from 700 to 1,200 wounded. Major 
Gen. Phillips, Col. Munn, Fifth Ga., and Col. George, are re¬ 
ported by the prisoners taken to have been killed, and Brig. Gen. 
Anderson to have been wounded. Twenty-eight prisoners were 
captured and turned over to the provost-marshal of the army 
corps. Fifteen wounded were brought in and left at a house, not 
having transportation for them. Our loss was 13 killed, 79 
wounded, and 2 are missing. 

Enclosed please find list of killed and wounded, (omitted in 
the report). 

I will forward Col. Catterson’s report as soon as received. 

I have the honor to be, Captain, your most obedient servant, 
Chas. R. Woods, Brig. Gen. of Volunteers, 
to Capt. Frederick Whitehead, 

Asst. Adj. Gen. 15th Army Corps.

Passing of Stoneman]s and Sherman’s Armies 
from Jones County News, November 19, 1908 
By S. H. Griswold 

There were some amusing and dramatic things happened in 
the county during the passing of Stoneman’s and Sherman’s 
armies. 

Quiet old Jones county, with no large city or railroad, except 
the Central through the lower corner, was subject to the passing 
of these two armies of the Federal government. Stoneman in 
August 1864 and Sherman in November 1864, at the “saspross” 
Stoneman sent a detachment by way of the Stewart place to Pine 
Ridge, Gordon and down the Central railroad to a bridge on the 
Oconee river where they burned this bridge and returned to him 
near Sunshine Church. This squad passed the Duncan place in the 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


163 


night. Bill Bonner lived at this place and was quietly sleeping 
when they came and knocked at his door, demanding that he 
strike a light. He was taken by surprise, and not dreaming that 
a Yankee was in miles of him, but a glimpse of the guns, etc., 
which he got when he opened the door he recognized who they 
were and it frightened him so that he was slow striking a light 
when one of them said he had a match and would strike one, 
whereupon Bill made a break for a side door leading to the 
back yard. This door he had left open, it being a hot night, and 
out he went dressed only in his nightshirt, over the yard fence 
he leaped, down the hill he ran over stumps, rocks, and through 
briars—running briars—which wound around his naked legs and 
tore the skin as he went, into the woods, he ran until he was 
exhausted, but they did not get him, neither did Sherman’s army 
get him when they came, but he had to hide out in Commis¬ 
sioners Creek swamp near them all night and from wading the 
creek and sloughs he was wet and muddy and almost frozen. 
After Stoneman passed and before Sherman came, he kept his 
horse saddled and tied to a swinging limb in his yard and if he 
saw two men coming riding down the road together he would 
mount his horse and break for the woods. His brother, Charlie, 
used to say that he ran through our pasture so often that our 
cattle would run to the swamps whenever they saw a man on 
horseback. 

Mr. Gray Andrews lived on the Grantland place not far from 
the Jones county line. Mr. Andrews loved to fox hunt and he had 
a pack of fox hounds. Mr. Orme had come out from Milledge- 
ville and while in the house talking to Mrs. Andrews, Sherman’s 
men came and Mr. Orme had to hide himself ran under the bed. 
The dogs in the yard got frightened when the Yankees got to 
shooting the fowls in the yard and ran into the house and under 
the bed where Mr. Orme was. After a while quiet reigned and 
Mr. Orme called softly to Mrs. Andrews and said, “Are they 
gone?” “No, no,” says Mrs. Andrews, “you had better keep 
quiet.” After a little while he again called and asked if they had 
gone. “No” says Mrs. Andrews “and if you don’t keep quiet 
they will find you.” “Well, madam,” he says, “these dogs smell 
mighty bad.” He was the editor of the Southern Recorder at 


164 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Milledgeville at the time. He was not found but certainly re¬ 
joiced when relieved. The dogs “smelled mighty bad.” 

David and Dennis Lester were two aged brothers that lived 
on joining plantations near Fortville. They were wealthy plant¬ 
ers and owned large plantations and many negroes. Sherman’s 
men visited their places and carried off their stock and burned 
their gin houses and cotton. It was told by the negroes at the 
time that one squad at Dennis and David Lester’s demanded 
gold of him and that he refused it and that they hung him three 
different times, almost suffocating him, but he defied them and 
refused to give them the gold. Capt. J. R. Bonner informs me 
that this was a mistake and that he did give it to them from its 
hiding place under the hearth of an old outhouse what gold he had 
and a fine watch and chaih and ring of D. W. Lester, his son. He 
did this to save his property from being burned and himself from 
hanging. Probably he is right, but neighborhood talk at the time 
was that they did hang him and it was also said that David 
Snellings, his nephew did it, but Capt. Bonner says Snellings did 
not go to David Lesters, but to Dennis Lesters and that he sent 
a squad of cavalry there and burned the gin house and cotton of 
Dennis Lester after it had been spared by Blair’s men. Gen. 
Sherman, in his book says Lieut. Snellings, of his escort asked 
leave of him at the Cobb place to go to spend the night with 
his uncle nearby and that he granted it and when he returned 
next morning that he brought him a very fine horse which he 
had taken from his uncle. This David Snelling was the son of 
Dennis and David Lester’s sister. They had her to live in a 
house between their homes and provided for her and her chil¬ 
dren as long as she lived and after her death her son, David, 
moved to Baldwin county, but in the same neighborhood. He 
enlisted in Capt. J. R. Bonner’s Co. H, 57th Ga. Regt., May 
1862, deserted in July near Bridgeport, Ala. on Tennessee river 
and joined the Yankee army, was made a Lieut, in Sherman’s 
escort and came through his old home with him in 1865 and 
visited his uncle and repaid his kindness and'care of him and 
his mother by stealing his horse and burning his property. The 
Lester brothers had given him all the education he had and 
had provided for the family until his mother died and he was

grown and able to shift for himself. He came back to Baldwin 
on a visit after the war, but left hurriedly after a short stay! 
Capt. Bonner received a letter about five years ago from Ozark, 
Ark., from his widowed wife who said he was dead and asking 
him for certain information in order to get a pension. This he 
gave and the pension was granted. A deserter. He was capable 
of doing anything mean and was none too good to have hanged 
his benefactor for money. 

Mrs. Swanson, nee Miss Sallie Bowen then Mrs. Hamilton 
was at the Dr. Bowen old plantation near Gray all alone when 
Sherman’s army came, except the negro servants. Her husband, 
Col. Hamilton was with Hood’s army at the time. Sherman’s 
men swarmed around the place, taking the horses and mules and 
everything else that they wanted, taking her valuable silverware 
which had been her mother’s. She was badly frightened of them, 
but later on secured a guard for the house and the men were 
kept out. After the main army had left and the guard withdrawn 
there came one of those stragglers to the house and just as he 
entered Lieut. Henry S. Greaves who had gotten a short leave to 
visit his wife at the Stewart place, joining the Bowen place, with 
three other Confederates, came up the road and saw him enter. 
They at once made for the house, which set back some distance 
from the road, to capture him, but he saw them and ran through 
the house into a back room and hid behind a wardrobe. Mrs. 
Hamilton thought he had gone through the house and yard into 
the woods nearby and she told Greaves and he and the men 
searched there for him but failed to look in the house. It would 
have gone hard with him had they gotten him for Greaves was 
badly wrought up over the depredations which he saw had been 
committed in this, his home county. 

After they left the Yankee came out and told where he had 
been and said that he would give himself up, but he did not do 
so at least, not to Greaves. He thought that this man had been 
a guard for Mrs. Hamilton and that she hid him from them, 
but Mrs. Hamilton assured me that he was mistaken in this and 
that she certainly thought that he had gone through the house 
into the woods, as she had stated. So far as wanting to hide him, 
she was in mortal dread of him and would have gladly given him

up. The fear, anxiety, etc. of this noble Christian lady! Young, 
handsome and accomplished, her husband in the army, all alone, 
no white people nearby, only the negro servants for protection. It 
was a time of great distress indeed and when the main army 
had passed and this straggler came she had everything to dread 
and nothing to hope for, and what a relief it must have been 
when she saw her friend Greaves come up. It was an experience 
that none cares to go through with and was enough to turn her 
hair gray. They left her one small pony which she had saddled 
intending to go to her brother Tom’s near Haddock, but her 
faithful negro servant pleaded with her so hard not to go that 
she finally yielded, and it was well she did, for Blair’s corps was 
camped around his place, his house being Blair’s headquarters. 


Chapter XI. 

Reconstruction—1865-1875 

In April 1865, the War Between the States came to a halt. 
After four years of death, blood and destruction and a bitterness 
and hatred that left its mark on the people for generations to 
come. General Robert E. Lee with sorrowing heart had gone 
home, proud to the last of the gallant men in gray. He was a 
gentleman of courtesy, heroic self-control whose dedication to 
duty was sublime. He will always be remembered by those who 
descend from Confederates as a model of chivalry and the 
flower of Southern manhood. He was as much a spiritual leader 
as a military leader in the fight for independence. 

The life of the Confederacy was of short duration. Its at¬ 
tempt to exercise the right of a State to withdraw from the 
LTion failed at the end of four years of a struggle as human 
and moving as men could make it. After the waste, destruction, 
misery and anguish, the gallantry and devotion of men on both 
sides, the L T nited States was born. The old union of states fed¬ 
erated together for specific and limited purposes died and a new 
nation came into existence. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


167 


Aleck Stevens and Pres. Jefferson Davis had been arrested 
and thrown in prison and the Negroes were roaming the land, 
loafing, stealing and living on free rations. It was a time of 
great bewilderment, confusion, hard and bitter times. There was 
no organized state, no power of government, no food, labor or 
money and stocks and bonds were worthless. Georgia’s debts 
were mounting in all of the poverty, grief and starvation and 
the barest necessities were unavailable. The thin, worn out and 
ragged veterans were coming home to ashes. 

At least three-fourths of the state’s wealth was lost, the prom¬ 
ising school situation started before the war went to pieces and 
the money had to be used in aiding widows and starving fam¬ 
ilies. 

Salt was a great problem and $5,000 was offered to anyone 
who would discover and produce as much as 300 bushels a day. 
Anyone who hoarded or speculated in salt would be dealt with 
swiftly. 

Jones County people had learned to make the most of what 
they had during the war. They made and used wooden shoes. 
They learned to make good pistols from scrap iron and steel 
gathered from the homes and farms, needles were made from 
hawthornes, cork from cypress, blackening from chinaberries, 
rope from Spanish moss, coffee from peas and corn, sorghum 
for sugar, figs for red dye, sumac for purple dye, indigo for blue, 
and copperas was a favorite coloring. There was never enough 
sedatives, quinine, salt or iron. Soap making had been done on 
the farm since 1807. The people used great care in utilizing the 
meat scraps, fats and bones. They were cooked with the lye 
drained from the hickory ashes. Good soap was made for domes¬ 
tic uses and hard soap for the big house. Sometimes a bar of 
Castile soap was bought for the babies’ use. 

Had Sherman’s army never entered Georgia she would have 
had hard enough time recovering from the destruction, mass 
suffering and privations she was going through. But when Sher¬ 
man’s armies cut a swath of burning and destruction on the state 

already on her knees-that can never be forgotten. Sherman 

claims in his own book that he destroyed $100,000,000 worth of 
actual property and that $80,000,000 of this was wanton waste. 


168 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Forty thousand of Georgia’s best citizens were dead and miss¬ 
ing. Little chance did anyone have to save anything against 
hungry Yankees and “bummers,” who plundered unmercifully. 

“The pang of the Confederate failure and disappointment 
could have been endured, had it been less bitterly reinforced with 
the gall and wormwood of reconstruction. The sovereignty of 
Georgia lay prostrate. The carpetbagger and the former slave 
upheld by the bayonets of the military power, were in full con¬ 
trol of the political machinery. This was the reign of political 
terror. Immediately after Lincoln’s death, when the Radicals 
could get the upper hand, the parasites and looters, scallawags 
and scavengers, knaves and fools, took possession of the State 
governments and entered upon pillaging the stricken people.” 
(P.219 “The Tragic Era.”) 

James Devreaux, a Negro from Jones Co. was elected to rep¬ 
resent Wilkinson, Twiggs and Jones Counties in the State Senate 
during this period of Reconstruction. Another Negro Jacob 
Hutchings was the Representative of Jones County. (See Letters 
of S. H. Griswold—“Bayonet Rule.”) 

As the Federal bayonets forced black state governments in 
the South not a single Negro held elective office in any Northern 
State. 

The carpetbaggers and the Negroes had powers, while the 
whites were disfranchised and the intelligent people cast out. 
Strangers represented districts they had never seen. The South 
was dealt with as an alien enemy, to be trodden down and kept 
under foot for long years. Liberty meant lawlessness and even 
Pres. Johnson in a message urged the Negro to “adopt systems 
of morality and abstain from licentiousness, to develop their 
intellect and apply their physical powers for the good of the 
country.” To this the Radicals laughed; Thad Stevens, Stanton, 
Theodore Tilton, Oliver P. Morton, and others. 

Kindness and generosity would have won back the allegiance 
of the South, but all of the bayonets in the American -Union 
could not drive manhood from their breasts. Benjamin Harvey 
Hill said, “Thy shalt not take the life, liberty or property of a 
citizen except according to the laws of the land and judgment 
of his peers,” but they did. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


169 


I quote from “The Tragic Era,” by Bowers, p. 211, “As soon 
as Lincoln died the gleeful radicals began blackening Pres. An¬ 
drew Jackson because he dare carry out Lincoln’s policy of len¬ 
iency towards the South. Wildcat financiers made a dunce out of 
Grant, quadroon belles shaking laughter off their bare shoulders 
in carpeting revels down South; Washington crammed with lob¬ 
byists, gamblers, swindlers, bribed Senators, bubbling wine and 
snobbery, all too close to the so-called statesmen.” 

Any invaded country knows what one suffers at the hands of 
the conqueror. I quote from Benjamin Hill’s speech on July 10, 
1867. “Go on confiscating, you radicals, arrest without warrant 
or cause, destroy habeas corpus, deny trial by jury, abrogate 
State Governments, defile your own race ... on ... on with your 
work of ruin, ye hell-born rioters in sacred things, but remember 
that for all these things the people will call you to judgment. . . . 
Ye aspire to be Radical Governors, and Judges ... I paint before 
you this day your destiny, you are but cowards and knaves, and 
the time will come when you will call upon the rocks and moun¬ 
tains to fall on you and the darkness to hide you from an out¬ 
raged people.” 

Courts were silent, schools empty, churches deserted. Dwell¬ 
ings were burned, fences destroyed, and blackened chimneys 
marked the land. Once a smiling country, peaceful, prosperous 
and happy was now converted by war into a bloody scene, of 
utter desolation and starvation. No crops could be raised that 
hideous year and charity could not penetrate this wilderness of 
devastation. 

After four long years of conflict the resources of the South 
were completely exhausted. Its paper currency depreciated to the 
vanishing point. The stores were empty, no manufactured goods 
were obtainable, only the little produced on the farms could be 
had. The cotton that escaped burning during the invasion had 
no market, because the ports were blockaded and the price of 
cotton in New York in 1864 reached a dollar a pound. Had it 
not been destroyed by the invaders in wanton revenge, its sale 
would have enabled Georgia to have recuperated her resources. 
Private property is supposed to be spared in war, but it was not. 
The result was that the poverty of the people was pitiful. Other 


170 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


generations were to be born before prosperity returned and a 
new era had dawned. And so the Old South is now only a mem¬ 
ory to be recalled in song and story but never again to be known. 

Negroes were made free as the South was put in economic 
bondage as well as political for so long that after a hundred 
years there ranks a bitterness that a century has not blotted out. 
There was no Marshall Plan or G.T. bills or any credit to be 
found so with sweat and muscle Jones County along with the 
rest of the South started to make her own recovery. In Jones 
County there were no scallawags, no not one. Ten years went 
by after surrender before any record shows that there was a 
school. The days of Reconstruction under the bayonet rule, sired 
the Ku Klux Klan and the words, “Damn Yankee.” At this point 
I want to mention a few men who used a cool head but a grim 
determination to get control of the county affairs, and eventually 
they did. They were: James M. Gray, Dr. James F. Barron, 
Bob Barron, Capt. Chas. Hamilton, Col. Hamilton, James H. 
Blount, Dick Hutchings, Bert Hutchings, Henry Christian, R. 
W. Bonner, Wilkes Gresham, Nat Glover, F. S. Johnson, E. C. 
Grier, George McKay, John Bradley, Ham Ridley, Roland T. 
Ross, Thomas Bowen, Sam Barron and others. 

Slowly but surely Jones rebuilt first, her homes, then her 
churches and schools. Benjamin Harvey Hill on July 31, at the 
University of Georgia made a speech urging the South to rise, 
rebuild her schools and educate her children, her labor, teach 
the sciences, build industries, water power and to build up the 
soil. I quote from that speech, “Nothing is so costly as ignor¬ 
ance and nothing so cheap as knowledge, and the very right arm 
of all future national power will rest in the education of the 
people. The educated men now before me must be responsible 
for the future of Georgia. The future will be anything you now 
command.” Benjamin Hill’s challenge had a profound effect on 
the South and she did start the long task against indomitable 
odds of rebuilding from ashes. A hundred years plus two World 
Wars were to pass before the South was treated as an equal, and 
there are many who still have doubts about that.

Chapter XII. 

The Eventful Eighties 

After 1875 the Southerners had resumed full control of their 
affairs. There was the disposition on the part of the people here 
to extract a maximum of pleasure from a minimum of resources. 
Lodges, veteran reunions, fairs, amateur theatricals and musicals, 
traveling shows, circuses, Negro minstrels and magic lantern 
slides were enjoyed as well as picnics, baseball, watermelon 
cuttings, camp meetings and militia drills. Most of these activi¬ 
ties took place after “laying by” time. 

In the South the young folks would go to the sugar cane mills 
to sit on the mountains of cane and chew the sweet stalks while 
the mule went ’round and ’round, or drink juice at the vat be¬ 
fore it went into the kettle for syrup. They picked out sweet gum 
and often waded in the streams and the boys would climb the 
willows and swing on the grape vines. Sometimes they would find 
a cannon ball or a minie ball. The old soldiers would tell of their 
part in the war, sitting around the stove in the country store 
and then get into an argument and one would rap his cane on the 
stove and the other would thump his wooden leg angrily until 
it would seem another battle was in the making until a pretty 
girl came along and the old soldiers would straighten up, stroke 
their beards and pay her a compliment and forget their argu¬ 
ment. 

Schools were back on the way up although revenues for them 
were very meager. It was still tough going for Jones Countians 
to look forward instead of backward and to banish inherited 
prejudies and take advantage of revolutionary opportunities. 
Henry Grady was proclaiming the “New South” about 1886 and 
industry was on the increase. Papers carried pictures of a type¬ 
writer with wooden keys, the telephone was patented in 1876 
and by 1878 the old lift type elevator in New York made by 
Otis was now lifted by a hydraulic installation. 


172 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Some Jones Countians in Chicago in 1893 sent back picture post 
cards of the huge ferris wheel 364 feet high with the fancy 
words, “World’s Columbian Exposition” printed on them. 

In 1886 the new Central of Ga. railroad came through the 
center of Jones County from Macon to Athens. Parties of young 
people would ride up to Tallulah Falls and the mountains of 
North Georgia. Others went on excursions to Tybee and St. 
Simons Island. When the train would go through Jones County 
on the return trip from Tybee, people would put out the lights 
in their homes as it was not unusual for men under the influence 
to take a shot at any light in the dark, as they rode by. 

In 1896 papers carried the news of a new gasoline buggy with 
wheels like bicycles and a flared body to hold several passengers. 
There were detachable leather sides and a top to keep out rain 
and brass trimmed lamps for lights and decoration. 

Along came 1898 and the sinking of the Maine. The cry was 
heard from shore to shore, “Remember the Maine.” Men were 
enlisting again but this time for a united country and Jones 
County’s quota was soon in uniform and as zealous and loyal to 
Uncle Sam as any part of the country. President McKinley issued 
an ultimatum to Spain April 16, 1898 giving Spain several days 
to say whether or not Spanish troops would vacate Cuba. On 
April 21, 1898 the United States Fleet at Key West sailed for 
Cuba; it was war on August 12. Three months and twenty-two 
days later Spain and the United States signed a protocol (the 
basis of a definite treaty of peace). President McKinley paid 
Spain $20,000,000 for the Philippines, although the Filipinos 
didn’t want us to rule them either, so they fought on for some 
time. 


A Relic of Antiquity —1884 

Mr. Cautus Morris, who keeps a general store in Jones Coun¬ 
ty, came in town Tuesday to make a few Christmas purchases. 
He came in a carriage drawn by two bay horses, driven by a 
small negro boy, who occupied the driver’s box of the carriage. 
The carriage attracted considerable attention from all who saw 
it as it rolled over the streets. It was noticeable from the fact 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


173 


that it was almost whitened by age, and its build was of a style 
that was seen and used by our grandparents. 

It was a very high affair, with holding steps almost reaching 
to the ground. The interior had been finely upholstered and in 
the most substantial manner. The work was first-class, and none 
of it was ripped or torn loose, but had been worn. The uphol¬ 
stering was blue, and it had faded to a dingy white, especially 
where the sun and rain could beat in through the windows. The 
material and workmanship of the entire vehicle was of the best, 
and the wheels and framework is good for fifty years to come. 

The old vehicle belongs to Mr. Morris, and has been in his 
family for a number of years. He bought it from a family of 
Smiths living in Jones County. We are told that the carriage has 
a history. It came into the possession of the family by coming 
down from a line of descendants and connections which are 
traced to the very door of the White House at Washington. 

The carriage was built in 1837, but it is difficult to determine 
the age of the timber out of which the wheels and framework 
are made. It will be remembered that the frigate Constitution was 
the oldest United States war vessel and was dubbed, the “Old 
Ironsides” in the war against Great Britain in 1812-15. During 
the last term of Andrew Jackson as President of the United 
States, the old vessel went to pieces from long service. In the 
winter of 1837, just preceding the retirement of General Jack- 
son, the Democracy of New York city gathered some timbers 
from the hull of the Constitution and had made out of them a 
handsome carriage and presented it to him. 

On March 4, 1837, General Jackson invited his successor, 
President Martin Van Buren, to a seat with him in this carriage, 
and they proceeded alone in it from the White House to the 
capitol, where a procession was formed in the Senate chamber 
and marched to a rostrum erected in the eastern portico, where 
Van Buren was inaugurated. Few people would ever dream that 
this old carriage, with its old folding steps and old-fashioned 
build, was rolling over our streets Tuesday. It is well worth a 
long visit to see. (Telegraph—1884—Jan. 2.)

Chapter XIII. 

The Gay 90's 

A hammock swung in a shady nook was the favorite courting 
spot of flaming youth in the gay 90’s. It required a lot of skill 
to recline gracefully in a hammock and get in and out without 
exposing an ankle—which was most immodest. 

Some hammocks were net, with fringes, some made of barrel 
staves and rope. The girls would nestle in the hammock while 
the boys sat around on the grass and would sing and sing, all of 
the songs they knew. 

And buggy-riding in the 90’s! One could hang the reins over 
the whip-socket on the way home in the dusk and let the horse 
take his own time. A few of the wealthier planters’ sons sported 
a pair of Kentucky thoroughbreds with long manes and tails. 
They would take the girls riding far out on the leafy country 
roads. Buggies were kept shining and mostly done in green and 
black and a few red ones, the rubber tired ones came in during 
the 90’s and that was a thrill. 

There were livery stables that had buggies and horses to rent 
if you were visiting or didn’t own a turnout. These were used 
far into the days when the first automobiles came throbbing 
along, scaring teams, and breaking down from unknown ailments 
peculiar to the early cars. The bystanders would delight in yell¬ 
ing, “Get a horse”! and a lot more gibes at the fellow whose 
car stalled. 

Along the gay 90’s there were huge double four poster beds, 
with feather mattresses, bolsters, no springs, dark closets, open 
fires, and a few brass beds. You could smell the fragrant soap 
in a dish on the washstand where the bowl and water pitcher 
were. The bed was covered with a knitted counterpane with 
initials of the happy pair entwined and surrounded by a w r reath 
in turkey-red thread. The huge pillows were covered in the day 
time by “shams.” Sometimes these had verses embroidered on 
them such as, “I slept and dreamed that life was beauty, I awoke 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


175 


and found that life was duty.” Under these two pillows was a 
long firm roll called a bolster. 

Some of these two or three mattresses and feather beds, 
rested on slats, some on “bed cords” in the form of stout ropes 
criss-crossed through side holes in the bed frame. 

There were trundle beds on small rollers that rolled under 
the big bed in the day and were pulled out for the children at 
night. 

Some old four-posters had “palanquins,” of silk in the form 
of curtains to be drawn every night, as night air was considered 
very poisonous. 

Select boarding houses conducted by gentlewomen, such as 
Madame Parrish’s house in Clinton had their beginnings in 
Colonial times, when travel was by stage coach, saddle-horses 
and gigs. Men would put up in the noisy taverns but ladies pre¬ 
ferred the boarding houses. The large parlor bad a gilt mirror, 
and the sofa and armchair had mats of crochet on the arms and 
backs. There was the marble top table with the fancy globe lamp 
on it in the hall. 

The nicest places had mosquito netting draped over the beds 
as there were no screens. There was the chandelier hanging in 
the center of the room with crystal pendants. 

The time of the leg-o’mutton sleeves, psyche knots, tableaux, 
crinolines, and “hoops,” were in the 90’s. Mothers sewed 
late at night to make the tucks, and ruffles for the sunburst shirt¬ 
waists and dresses for their daughters. The newspapers criti¬ 
cized the full skirt and the psyche knot, as much as later on, the 
bobbed hair and knee length skirt. 


Chapter XIV. 

A New Century—Twentieth—1900 

A new century and a New Year. The removal of the county 
site from Clinton to Gray was being agitated. A vote was taken 
in 1900 and failed. In this year a man could buy a serge or 
flannel suit for $6.00 and salaries were $40.00 up to $60.00.

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


As always politics was an important issue in Jones County. Some 
of the incumbents of that year were: Representative, Jackson 
Clay Barron, Judge of the Ocmulgee Superior Court was John 
C. Hart, Clerk of the Court was W. W. Barron, E. T. Dumas 
was Judge of the County Court, Ordinary, R. H. Bonner, Sheriff, 
R. N. Ethridge, J. J. Henderson, Tax Rec. F. M. Stewart, 
County Treasurer, Chas. Kinslow, Coroner, J. R. Van Buren, 
Senator. 

The second County Fair was held at Round Oak in 1900, 
Sept. 18. It was given under the auspices of the Grain Growers’ 
Club. The General Manager was John T. Williams of Ethridge; 
Mark C. Greene of Gray, Sec. and Treas. The Executive Com¬ 
mittee was: Jesse M. Hunt, Rev. E. W. Sammons, J. C. Barron, 
W. F. White, F. M. Stewart, J. H. Meeks and W. A. Bragg. 
Chairman of the Needlework Com. was Miss Lula Bragg of 
Gray, Mrs. F. M. Stewart was Chm. Breads, Pickles and Pre¬ 
serves. Mrs. J. T. Creigh was Chm. of Arts and Flowers. There 
were departments of manufacturing, of livestock, sheep, hogs, 
cattle, horses and mules. Prizes were offered for agricultural 
implements made at home such as ox yokes, plow stocks, hoe 
handles, axe handles, cotton baskets, brooms, horse collars, sin¬ 
gletrees, two chairs, etc. There was a department on horticul¬ 
ture, poultry and dairy products, needlework, water colors, oil 
paintings and pastel paintings. Prizes were offered for the best 
declamation of a boy or girl under fifteen. E. W. Sammons 
offered a prize for the best milker (cow to be milked on the fair 
grounds). Mrs. R. J. Smith offered a prize for the best elocu¬ 
tionist and the best mathematician under fifteen. The best horse¬ 
back rider under fifteen got a new saddle. The best pair of 
knitted socks from sheep grown on the farm received a prize. 
J. T. Glover offered a prize for the best harness colt. W. F. 
White offered prizes for the best pair of fox hounds. Other 
prizes went for drawnwork, autograph quilts of silk, pillow 
shams, knit spreads, tatting, home made jeans, carpets, suits, 
tapestry work and quilts. The premium lists contained sixteen 
pages, and this affair was a red letter day for Jones Countians. 
Speeches were made by Ex. Gov. Joe Brown, Sen. Clay and 
Guerry.

In 1901 Teddy Roosevelt became President and Alice Roose¬ 
velt set the styles for American girls. The bustle was gone but 
the figure was still a substantial set of curves and the willow 
plume on the large hat was very stylish. A typical turn of the 
century dress was of black lace with a red satin inset down the 
front. The jet bead trim was as popular as rhinestones are today. 
A ballroom dress was made of cream satin with mousquetaire 
sleeves and a fishtail train. A typical morning dress was of 
watered silk with insets of silk and a finely tucked yoke. In that 
day a lady dressed like a lady and was quite elegant and fastidi¬ 
ous. A lady never thought of going out in the daytime without 
her hat, gloves and usually a parasol to protect her lovely skin 
from sunburn and freckles. In 1903 Orville Wright flew the first 
plane at Kitty Hawk, N. C. 

In 1905 again a vote was taken to move the county seat to 
Gray from Clinton and the tabulation was 1289 for and 51 
against. The fourth courthouse in a century was to be built and 
a new jail. The day that the cornerstone was laid was a gala 
occasion with about 4,000 people gathered at the grove in front 
of the new building for the ceremonies. A huge platform had 
been built, decorated with bunting, smilax, flowers and ferns. On 
one end of this was the piano with Mrs. George Gordon as 
pianist. After the prelude of music, the Editor of the Jones 
County News, Mark Greene, represented the County Commis¬ 
sioners and made the speech of welcome. He introduced Captain 
W. A. Davis of Macon, Grandmaster of the Masonic Fraternity 
who delivered the address. Miss Margaret Finney (Mrs. Joseph 
Middlebrooks later) from Haddock gave several solos and then 
directed the choir in patriotic songs. 

The following articles were placed in the cornerstone: A 
history of the Knights of Pythias Lodge, No. 176 and Sincerity 
Lodge No. 430, a number of Confederate bills, a list of mem¬ 
bers of the Grand Lodge, a story of the trial of Jesse Bunkley 
by Mrs. F. M. Stewart, an old style penny by A. J. Hodge, a 
copy of the new Testament, an examination paper in arithmetic 
by F. M. Stewart, Jr., a list of pastors, attorneys and physicians 
in the county, a roster of the Edward Willis Camp United Con¬ 
federate Veterans, a nickel coined in 1905 given by C. L. Balk- 
corn, a copy of the Jones County News and the Macon Tele-

graph. The inscription on the cornerstone was as follows: Erect¬ 
ed A.D. 1905, County Commissioners: Joe T. Glover, Chm., J. 
H. Meeks, J. H. C. Ethridge. Architects were J. W. Golucke 
and Co. Robert F. Hemphill, Pres, and Treas. L. J. Isbell, Vice- 
Pres. and Gen. Mgr. 

At noon when the exercises were over the crowd assembled at 
long tables in the cool shade of the great oak trees in the square 
in front of the new building. B. M. Green had supervised the 
barbecuing of sixty-two pigs, lambs and several kids and he had 
done an excellent job. The tables were laden with the barbecue, 
Brunswick stew, cakes, pickles, pies, salads and chicken. At in¬ 
tervals along the tables were great tubs of ice cold lemonade.

happy occasion. 

Jones County—One Hundred Years Old —1907 

No bells were rung and no songs were sung to celebrate the 
one hundredth anniversary of Jones County and probably few 
even thought of their county passing the century mark. From a 
wilderness and the Creek Indians in 1807 through three wars, 
one so disastrous that all of the cultural and economic develop¬ 
ment of the county were blotted out, to the present, Jones County 
had come back from the ashes of Sherman’s armies to the year 
1907. She had rebuilt her homes, roads, churches and schools. 
Jones County as always was keenly interested in county, state 
and national politics. Theodore Roosevelt was saying, “Speak 
softly and carry a big stick, you will go far.” 

As the year 1907 came in, these are some of the news notes: 

The delegation going up to Atlanta to the Gubernatorial Con¬ 
vention were: Capt. F. S. Johnson, J. R. Van Buren, J. W. Slo- 
cumb, R. H. Kingman, Sr., T. W. Duffy, J. H. Moring, S. H. 
Haddock, and J. T. Williams. 

A petition was circulated in Gray requesting the County Com¬ 
missioners to buy the square of land in front of the courthouse 
to be beautified by the women of the county and to eventually 
place a Confederate monument. This was to prevent buildings 
from being erected and lots sold which would ruin the looks of 
the new town.

Joseph Benjamin Jackson had been unanimously nominated 
for State Senator at the Senatorial Convention held in Gordon. 

Delegates to the Decatur-Oxford District meeting at Oxford 
were: Capt. F. S. Johnson, R. H. Kingman and Luico Godard. 

A peach cannery had begun operations at Round Oak, with 
these families moving in: Squire, Searly and Walls. Mr. Magioni 
from Port Royal was buying the peaches. 3000 cases of peaches 
were canned and 50 cars were shipped in 1907 from Round Oak. 

An advertisement from S. H. Haddock’s store in Haddock 
reads: Calico, yellow homespun and bleaching for five cents a 
yard. 

Physicians and Surgeons at Gray were: Dr. O. C. Webb and 
Dr. J. Will Anderson. 

The phonograph with the morning-glory horn was the Edison 
Model D made about 1908. That same year Ford brought out 
his puddle-straddling Model T with a sturdy frame and mag¬ 
neto-fired engine. He sold 15,000,000 before this model was 
discontinued in 1927. There was a crank to start the engine 
which was four-cylinder and twenty horse power and the ellip¬ 
tical springs over axles gave flexibility over rough roads. Most 
cars had the steering wheels on the right but Ford put it on the 
left. 

By 1907 Jones County boasted of two cars, one of these 
owned by Stephen Jarrell, was powered by a single-cylinder 
motor located under the seat and steered with a tiller. This car 
was made by Olds. John Bradley owned the other bright red 
car, with no doors to the front seat but one for the back. These 
cars cost around $1,000. 

There were no garages or filling stations. The car was put 
under the buggy shed and the only gas available was found at 
a drugstore or general store and used for cleaning purposes. 
The wholesale price was three cents and the retail price was five 
cents (no taxes). These cars with one cylinder going 25 miles 
per hour used very little gas. Roads were so rough that the 
owner “had to get out and get under” many times to fix the 
chain-driven cars. This cha\n went from the motor to the rear 
axle and when it broke the poor driver had to crawl under in the 
red dust and a hot and greasy motor to do this unpleasant job.

People driving their high-spirited horses dreaded to hear a car 
coming, as the driver would have to get out and hold to the 
bridle as the horse reared and plunged to get away. 

With the year of 19,07 ends one hundred years of the County 
of Jones, in the heart of Georgia. A story of a warm-hearted 
people mixed with fiery courage and a quiet courtesy. A story of 
people and places, of cotton, slavery, war, peace and plenty and 
hard times. A story of failures and successes but always striving 
to do better. From its borders have gone out soldiers, statesmen, 
educators, judges, doctors, lawyers, preachers, governors, poets, 
merchants and architects. 

Jones County’s soil is red, Jones County’s blood is red and 
Jones County’s Americanism is still untainted and unsullied by 
Communism. She stands today for the principles that her pio¬ 
neers made and upheld, she does not and will not forget her past 
although she presses on to progress in agriculture and industry 
and in no county are newcomers given a heartier welcome. At 
the end of a hundred years and fifty we find grass, cattle, peaches 
and pines are the mainstays of the land. 

Some of the treasures still found in Jones County are, hurri¬ 
cane lamps, pewter candlesticks, Paul Revere lanterns, patch- 
work quilts, homespun blankets, knitted afghans, spinning wheels, 
looms, candle molds, a quill pen, iron cooking pots, a wooden 
latch, handwrought silver spoons, an ancient mirror and cross- 
stitch samplers. In the attic we often find an old trunk filled 
with cherished memories; a gray uniform, an old sword, a 
tattered battle flag, daguerreotypes, a spray of pressed flowers 
and fern in an old Bible, a high-heeled white kid slipper, a lace 
handerchief, kid gloves, a pack of old letters tied with a faded 
blue ribbon and other keepsakes. 

I have a feeling that the true Jones Countian, despite the 
modern day tendencies, still stands for a gentle way of life and 
has that inborn chivalry of the old days which no true Southerner 
ever forgets or forsakes. 

People here still invite people to take “pot-luck,” supper. 
(“Pot-luck” usually consists of roasted chicken and sedgy dress¬ 
ing, and carvings from an old country ham, watermelon rind 
preserves, four vegetables and a poundcake.) Customs which 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY

grew up in the 1840’s still linger, although the white-faced beef 
cow now grazes where cotton was king. The Colonial mansions 
have been replaced by compact and convenient houses and where 
the boys used to play “Crackaloo” (pitching coins at a crack) 
they now match for cokes.

"The Scrapbook" 

There was a flourishing trade at Fort Hawkins and Roger 
McCall and Harrison Smith had built their homes on nearby 
Swift Creek where McCall had a sawmill. They built three 
large flat bottom boats in 1818 and loacjed them with Jones 
County cotton and carried them down to Darien. The trip to 
Augusta was 100 miles so by 1826, Jones County was sending 
17,000 bales of cotton in this manner. 

Simri Rose who married Ann Blount of Blountsville lived at 
Fort Hawkins, and had a printing press. He published a news¬ 
paper, “The Messenger” which was widely read in this county. 
In 1825 they moved to Macon, which had just started. 

Jasper County called Randolph in honor of John Randolph 
who denounced the Yazoo Fraud, in 1812 changed its name to 
Jasper, because Randolph severely denounced Thos. Jefferson. 
Jefferson was immensely popular in Georgia and Randolph op¬ 
posed the War of 1812. Jasper was then named for Sergeant 
Jasper of Revolutionary fame. 

Rev. John McKenzie born March 7, 1780 came from North 
Carolina to Wilkes Co., moved to Jones Co. in 1804 and preach¬ 
ed here 20 years and then moved to Houston Co. 

“The Jones County Searchlight,” was one of the first county 
papers and was published at Clinton, and most of it written by 
Mrs. Ellen Griswold Hardeman. The next paper for Jones 
County was established at Gray by Mark Greene in 1895. He 
was born Sept. 5, 1855 and died Sept. 19, 1928, and he was 
an ardent Jones Countian. He was assisted in getting out the 
paper by his own family and it was a good one.

George Grier in 1807 (the year when Jones County started), 
published his first Almanac, which he called “The Georgia and 
South Carolina Almanac,” in Augusta, Ga. It was called “Grier’s

In a piece in the Atlanta Journal by Evelyn Hannah, many 
years ago, she state that the Confederate Gen. John B. Gor¬ 
don’s father and mother lived in Jones County and were married 
here in 1826, the Rev. Zachary Gordon and Malinda Cox. They 
moved to Upson County about six miles south of Thomaston

of Macon. 

Thomas Woolfolk of Jones County bought 100 acres of land 
for $2,151 around Fort Hill on Oct. 1, 1828. This bill of sale 
is still in the Stewart family. At this time the land of the Indian 
Mounds was sold. 

In Adiel Sherwood’s Gazeteer of Georgia he names these 
creeks in Jones County, Allison’s, Black, Fishing, Camp, Cedar, 
Commissioners. He also named U. S. Post Offices as, Clinton, 
Blountsville, Grab-all, Griswold, Poverty Hill. 

Sherwood’s Gazeteer says that Jones County’s population was 
13,345 and that Clinton Baptist Church was built in 1836. 

In Sherwood’s Gazeteer on p. 67 he says, “In 1811 the State 
Senator from Jones County was William Jones and there were 
three Representatives, Thomas Blount, John Bayne, and Wilkins 
Jackson. 

Clinton was incorporated in 1816. An epidemic of smallpox 
swept Georgia in 1836 and Jones County had many cases of the 
dread disease. In 1845 there were 20 churches in Jones County 
and 25 schools.

First Bank in Jones County 

“Since the organization of Jones County, in 1807, she had 
been dependent upon other counties for bank facilities. In the 
past few years several attempts have been made to organize a 
bank within our borders, but each met the same fate—nothing 
done. 

On last Tuesday twenty-five or thirty of our people met Mr. 
Jno. D. Walker of Sparta, at Haddock and negotiations were 
entered into which resulted in an organization which means that 
a strong bank will be in operation at Haddock in less than three 
months. 

The bank is to be capitalized at $25,000.00, the needful per 
cent of which is available at any moment.

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


(Copied from the Jones Co. News, issue Nov. 18, 1909— 
Andersonville Prison, written by J. L. Dance of Putnam Co.) 

“I am the only man living who was at Andersonville through¬ 
out the life of the prison, I was at the prison before any prison¬ 
ers arrived and was commissioned as hospital steward. T wit¬ 
nessed the first arrival and the last arrival there and was there 
throughout the time it was used as a prison. I was with Capt. 
Wirtz, commander of the prison a great deal and had confidence 
in him as a man and an officer. The only other man to stay at 
the prison throughout the time was Capt. Bowers of Baltimore, 
Md. who was in charge of the baking house. I remember the 
death of “Poll Parrott,” and many incidents of the prison life. 
There was but one birth at the prison. Captain Hunt, a splendid 
gentleman was captured on a boat on the Carolina coast and 
with him was his wife. During their stay at the prison, they 
were given special privileges and when the daughter was born 
she was named, “Andersonville Hunt,” by the prisoners. The 
Confederates there suffered as well as the Federals for lack of 
medicines, food and in many other necessities which all fared 
alike. I visited the prison recently when the Wirtz monument 
was unveiled and I realize now that had the Federals, such as 
Staunton exchanged prisoners as we asked, the over-crowded and 
sanitary conditions could have been improved for I do not feel 
that the conditions were actuated by hatred or by a desire for 
vengeance. (J. L. Dance—69 yrs. old.) 

(Copied from the Jones Co. News, 1909, by S. H. Griswold.) 

Old Joshua Sims was a large, fat, black Negro preacher in 
Jones County. He could yell the loudest and get up the biggest 
hallelujah chorus of any preacher in the county. Joshua had be¬ 
longed to Capt. Sims of Covington before the war, and was his 
body servant. The crowd of Young’s Guard of which Capt. Sims 
was in charge was at the depot in Covington waiting for the 
train to leave for the front in Virginia and many people were 
there. I was at school over at Emory Oxford and I joined the 
throng. The slave, Joshua Sims got up and made a fine Con¬ 
federate speech and received much applause. After the war he 
settled in Jones County and preached in Clinton and at his church 
on Swift Creek near the Bibb line near Col. Lane’s place. He

drew large crowds by playing on his fiddle before the service. 
Harry Stillwell Edwards came to see and hear Joshua and so 
well did he appreciate this character that he made him the prin¬ 
cipal character in one of his stories.” 

A tornado hit Jones County Feb. 19, 1874 which traveled the 
route of the Garrison Road to some extent and went by Brown’s 
Crossing doing much damage and about destroyed Dick Brown’s 
home. A drawn shingle was driven through a pole. An account 
of this was in Gordon, Ga. Dispatch and this news was printed 
in Boston, Mass. The paper criticized the Dispatch for printing 
such a falsehood and when this news got to Jones County a del¬ 
egation was paid to go to Boston and take the proof with them. 
The old clipping says that the pole and the shingle were put on 
display for everyone to see and later was seen in a Museum in 
Washington, D. C. 

Pitt’s Chapel over on the Garrison Road was used as a hos¬ 
pital by Sherman’s forces while he was in Jones County in 1864. 
At this crossroads was a tavern and there the stagecoaches 
changed horses. This was run by a man named Phelps. 

The Bank of Gray was chartered in August 1909. The Pres, 
was F. S. Johnson; Vice-Pres., T. S. Bush; Cashier, J. W. Bon¬ 
ner; Asst. Cashier, Bernard Johnson; Financial Agent, John D. 
Walker; Directors were: J. W. Bonner, S. B. Hungerford, F. S. 
Johnson, Richard Johnson, W*. W. Moore, B. F. Winters, W. E. 
Morgan, F. M. Stewart, J. D. Walker, W. W. Barron D. V. 
Childs, T. G. Smith, R. H. Kingman, T. S. Bush. 

The first telegraph lines in Tones County were erected along 
the old Garrison Road in 1848. Some called this old road the 
“Old Wire Road,” for a while. 

Col. Telemon Cuyler’s parents were: Henry Hunt Smith and 
Mrs. Frances H. Hood Cuyler. His G. Uncle Lt. Col. A. S. 
Hamilton was in the Confederate Army. Dr. Thos. Hamilton 
also an uncle and the pioneer; Peter Clower has great-great¬ 
grandfather. Before the Civil War this was one of the wealthiest 
families in Clinton.

Dr. Joseph D. Maynard a physician and surgeon of Abbeville, 
Wilcox County was born in Jones County Dec. 26, 1856, son of 
Sanford B. Maynard from Edgefield Dist. S. C., died in Jones. 

In the Gazeteer of Georgia by Adiel Sherwood, 4th edition he 
states that the first depot in Jones County was at “Woolen Fac¬ 
tory” in the southeast corner of Jones on the Central railroad 
near Wallace which was also a post office. 

In 1936 James Lockett was the leader and main contributor 
in building the Baptist church at Clinton which was located about 
300 yards south of Will Johnson’s home. The church has been 
gone for a long time, at one time was very active Rev. Jesse 
Mercer conducted many revivals there and Rev. Jesse Campbell 
was the minister for years. 

George Stallings, “the Miracle Man” of baseball, who lived 
in Jones County on a large farm and had fine cattle was also the 
gifted manager of the Boston Braves and in 1914 carried them 
from the bottom to the top and won the pennant. He played 
ball as a boy in Augusta. He married Bell White in April 1889 
had two sons Lawrence and White. Later he married Bert 
Thorpe Sharpe and had a son, George Stallings, Jr. 

In 1809 it took two months to go from Clinton to New York 
by stage, however by relays of horses and messengers, urgent 
messages went in much less time. 

William McIntosh, half Scot and half Indian and a first cousin 
of Gov. George M. Troup traveled the Indian trails across Jones 
County many times from Indian Springs to Fort Hawkins. Many 
of the people in Jones knew him and regarded him highly. He 
was cruelly murdered by the Indians for ceding their lands in 

1825. 

Miss Jane Thigpen of Clinton, Ga. wrote a book of poems, 
“The Lover’s Revenge,” and other poems. The book was dedi¬ 
cated to her father and mother and Mrs. James Ross of Clinton 
has an autographed copy she gave to “Capt. Roland T. Ross” 
with compliments of the author—1876. 

The first frame-house in Clinton was built where the old Ma¬ 
sonic Hall, a three-story building, stood later.

The first steamboat that came up the Ocmulgee to Macon 
was owned by John T. Lamar, a resident of Jones County. 

On Nov. 10, 1910 the Ocmulgee Association was constituted 
of 24 churches at Rooty Creek, Putnam County. The churches 
included those of Jones, Jasper and Morgan County, Baptist. 

Horatio Bowen was an outstanding doctor, with a mind well 
rounded in cultural subjects and another, Dr. Hamilton, under 
whom he studied and with whom he helped to work out problems 
were: Crawford W. Long, H. V. Miller and others. Judge A. B. 
Longstreet came to him for help and suggestions in his book, 
“Georgia Scenes.” 

Jane Thigpen, poetess of Clinton wrote a Poem, “Memories,” 
which was published in the 1850’s. I quote: 

“The memories of the spirits pure, 

Who throng the path of life, 

Sustain the soul and nerve the heart 
To bear its constant strife: 

For though we may not, hand in hand, 

With them our way pursue, 

We know that we shall meet at last 
The faithful and the true.” 

Mr. Cukor Visits Jones County 

A clipping from the Jones County News tells of the time 
when Margaret Mitchell’s, “Gone With the Wind,” had been 
published and the first year had sold over two million copies. 
The older folks of Jones County knew Margaret Mitchell’s 
(Mrs. John R. Marsh) father the late Eugene Mitchell, a learn¬ 
ed lawyer. The Selznick Co. assistants and Mr. George Cukor 
had been visiting scenes of Atlanta prior to the filming of the 
popular book, and came to Macon, Savannah, Milledgeville and 
Clinton in search of houses, interiors and gardens to reproduce 
in Hollywood scenes of the story. They visited the home of Dr. 
and Mrs. Frank Jones, Lowther Hall, the Barron home and the 
old Johnson home, the old post office, and Peter Clower’s house 
across from the Johnson’s. WEile none of the scenes of this 
great novel were laid in Jones County, the stone enclosed cem¬ 
etery of the Bunkleys, the Clowers and others in the old Clinton

cemetery along with Alfred Iverson house were pictured and 
drawn by Wilmur G. Kurtz and perhaps will be used in the film. 
Telemon Smith Cuyler was with Mr. Cukor and showed him the 
Governor’s Mansion in Milledgeville. Mr. Eberh^rdt made pic¬ 
tures of Col. Cuyler clad in the gray Confederate uniform of 
his grand-uncle, Lt. Col. Algernon S. Hamilton, C.S.A. 42nd 
Ga. Regt. commanded by Brig. Gen. George Doles and Phillip 
Cook. This was the famous fighting Brigade in which so many 
of Jones County’s men went to war. This uniform, sash and 
sword, belt and canteen will be used in the picture. Many of the 
old photographs of Col. Cuyler’s were selected by Mr. Cukor to 
be used as models from which the elaborate costumes of the 
Sixties will be designed. 

(From Jones County News, 1943.) 

F. H. Houser of Fort Valley, Ga. built the Gray Hotel in 
1910, which burned a few years ago. He was with Wallace and 
Houser a peach commission house, and bought 175 cars of 
peaches from Jones County in 1909. 

The first money order written in Jones County and the first 
telegraph instrument used was at James, Ga. 

Caroline Paul, born in 1812, married Isaac Scott May 27, 
1830 in Jones County. Isaac Scott was Pres, of Macon and 
Western R. R. later the Central of Ga. in 1855. His trading 
firm was Scott, Carhart and Co. He had a bank in Macon and 
one in Columbus. In 1865 he moved to New York with his wife 
and eight children, he died there, Dec. 12, 1867 and she died 
in 1882. He was founder of Christ’s Episcopal Church in Macon 
and contributed $10,000 to the building fund. Isaac Scott was 
born in Jasper County on Jan. 20, 1810 (son of Wm. Scott and 
Jane Thos. Scott). 

Governor William Northern, born and reared in Jones Coun¬ 
ty, served in the Civil War and yet forgot the bitterness of Re¬ 
construction in 1894 when the drought struck the Middle West. 
Gov. Northern organized a Relief Committee and shipped large 
quantities of foodstuffs for free distribution to the suffering 
States. So impressed were the former Union soldiers by this 
friendly gesture from a one-time enemy state that they decided 
to move to Georgia and in 1895 the veterans formed a stock

Company and bought 50,000 acres of land and settled in South 
Georgia from which the town of Fitzgerald came. 

In 1816 Dr. William Wyatt Bibb was made Alabama’s first 
Territorial Governor, and when the state was admitted to the 
Union he was made Governor. He was a Georgian. 

In 1846 when the Supreme Court of Georgia was put into 
operation, Hiram Warner, who at one time taught in the Blounts- 
ville Academy in Jones County, was one of the State’s three first 
Supreme Court Judges. The other two were Joseph H. Lumpkin 
and Eugenius Nesbit. 

The second Pres, of Texas was a Georgian and related to the 
large family of Lamars of Jones County, Mirabeau Buonaparte 
Lamar. He was Pres, in 1838. It seems that the background of 
Texas is tied up with that of Georgia in many ways. 

The settlers from the older American Colonies such as Vir¬ 
ginia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Maryland, Connecticut, 
etc. that migrated to the first counties in Georgia, Hancock, 
Greene, Wilkes, Washington and Baldwin settled Jones County. 
Some came directly from the States here also. 


Chapter XVI. 

Old Homes 

Few of the ante-bellum houses in Jones County are left and 
many of these are in ruins, but these are a mute reminder of the 
South’s romantic era immortalized by Margaret Mitchell’s 
“Gone With the Wind.” It was then when cotton was king and 
the hospitality of the Southerners required a house big enough 
to accommodate the many friends and relatives, who often lin¬ 
gered for a month, a year or a lifetime. But whether the house 
was large or small the welcome was just as sincere and big. 

Interesting old houses in Jones were and are now Colonial, 
post-Revolutionary, Greek Revival, Doric, Ionic and Corinthian. 
It seems that Doric was most popular here. Many mantels were 
carved by hand, either locally or imported from England. The 


196 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 



marble mantels usually came from Italy and Italian artisans 
made the ornamental plaster medallions and moldings. 

As we read about these old houses and see the pictures of 
some of them, let your imagination take you back to those days 
of magnolias, a pink paradise of peach blossoms, cherry and 
apple trees in bloom, the glossy leaved boxwood, gardenias and 
towering elm and oak trees. A part of the picture would be the 
hoop-skirted belles and the beaux with sideburns, ruffled shirts 
and tight fitting broadcloth suits. The silver-mounted carriages 
with the dusky driver of the high-stepping horses comes into the 
picture as well as the old-fashioned roses in little walled gardens 
and little lanes in a quiet community of easy-going charm. Oh, 
it was a pleasant county of white houses, red up-turned land and 


Blair house in Clinton built between 1810-20 by John Mitchell, 
later owned by James Smith, Bowen and Barrons, known as ‘‘The 
Old Clinton Hotel.” (Now standing.)

cotton fields stretching out to meet the virgin forests of tall pine 
and oak where game abounded and the dark cool shade cradled 
the springs and brooks. The pastures of green grass fenced in 
with split-rail fences where horses, mules and cows grazed peace¬ 
fully and the good smell of freshly plowed land and the soft 
spring breezes were accepted casually not thinking that this 
would all be changed in the 1860’s. 

I find always the old avenue of gnarled cedars leading up to 
the house on a rise of land and then on back of the house of the 
planter the low sturdy cabins of the slaves, with many children 
playing in the yards. There was the big square garden plot and 
the scuppernong vine and the fruit orchard. The stables, the 
carriage house, the grain house and not too far away the rock 
walled family cemetery. 

The interior of most of these ante-bellum homes were domi¬ 
nated by huge halls with an impressive stairway. On the first 
floor were the parlors and diningroom and library; on the 
second floor were the bedrooms for family and guests. High 
ceilings and heavily shaded porches and drafty passageways gave 
comfort in summer, but no protection in the sharp southern 
winters although fireplaces were large and wood and slaves were 
plentiful. Floors were rather sparsely covered with thin carpets, 
and the furniture plain but with massive elegance. A tall clock 
in the hall was the pride of the family even though its warnings 
did not disturb the casual tempo of plantation life. There were 
family portraits on the walls and steel engravings. The kitchen 
was set apart so that the odors of cooking, heat and clatter 
might not contaminate the main house. A porch usually con¬ 
nected the kitchen with the house. There was certainly a lack of 
domestic conveniences, yet the hospitality of the master and the 
industry of the mistress and the slave culminated in the glory 
of the Southern table. When the visitor entered the diningroom, 
he found the table already crowded with a variety of meats, 
vegetables, pickles, preserves and jellies; to it were added relays 
of breads hot enough to melt butter. The chicken was served 
fried, roasted and in dumplings, the pork appeared as ham, 
bacon, sausage. From wheat flour was made the biscuits and the 
waffles; white corn yielded frits, muffins, spoonbread, hoecake

and pone. Sweet potatoes were roasted, fried, and candied. The 
dessert was usually peach, blackberry, or sweet potato pie or 
apple dumplings. 

The genius of the Old South was rural. Virginia was their 
model, on which they patterned their houses and manner of life, 
the plantation of simple home life and courteous squires. 

Clinton’s Old Homes 

According to data furnished to the Jones County News by 
Mrs. Mary Callaway Jones in 1940 the following tells an in¬ 
teresting story of the old homes in Clinton. Since this was writ¬ 
ten, Lowther Hall has burned. 

1. Residence of Mr. and Mrs. Will Johnson was built by Dr. 
Thomas Hamilton in 1824, then it became the home of the 
Flewellen family, and later was bought by the Johnsons, in whose 
possession it has been for one hundred years. 

2. Hadaway House built in 1816- or 1819 by Peter Clower 
and Lurany Mitchell Clower: the home of Hamilton’s and later 
known as the Andrews house. 


Hamilton house at Clinton built by James and Rebecca Barron 
Lockett in 1830. Later owned by: Blounts, Ross, Jewetts, etc.

3. James Ross House built in 1826 by Mrs. Beersheba Jones, 
later the home of John and Capt. Peyton Pitts, and then the 
Pursley home. 

4. Blair House built between 1810 and 1820 by John Mitchell, 
added to in 1820-22 by James Smith, then passed in turn to 
Mitchell, Smith, Bowen, Barron, Blair. 

5. Dennis Greene House, built in 1810, remodeled by Capt. 
and Madam Jonathan Parrish (Nancy T. Slatter) ; became the 
home of Richard Henry Hutchings I, then Green. This was made 
historic by visits of Gen. LaFayette in 1835, and Gen. Kilpatrick 
in 1864. 

6. Store of Charles Hutchings and Joseph Winship, built in 
1829 by James Smith, 32 feet front by 104 feet deep, occupied 
in 1829 by Justice and Williams, in 1835 by Hitchings and Win- 
ship. Clowers store was on the southwest and Parrish on the 
northeast. (Owned now by Bullingtons.) 

7. Part of the Dennis Green House was in 1830 the law office 
of Samuel Lowther and Alfred Iverson and was built in 182J 
by Arthur Redding with 22-foot front and 40-foot back. On the 
south was the Parrish house and Mrs. Gibson was on the north. 

8. Hamilton house was built in 1830 by James Lockett, next 
owned by Blount and later by Roland T. Ross. This was the 
birthplace of Mrs. Dorothy Blount Lamar of Macon, now 
owned by Hamiltons. 

9. Holsenback house, built in 1811-12 by Jack Jones, the 
branch back of it to be used for a tan-yard, later occupied by, 
Jones, Allen, Morgan, Holsenback. 

10. Ben Willingham house was built in 1821-26 by John W. 
Carrington: owned and occupied by Senator Alfred Iverson 1826 
and the birthplace of his son, Brig. Gen. Alfred Iverson; later 
occupied by, Carrington, Iverson, Juhans, Ellis and Willingham. 

11. William Wiley Barron house, built in 1818 by Samuel 
Dennis: remodeled later by occupants; later occupied by Dennis, 
Pope, Parke, and then by W. W. Barron.

bounded by Pulaski on the front (Highway from Macon to 
Gray), Pinckney on the north and Washington on the south; 
occupied by Robert Hutchings, Greaves, then Reuben Stewarts. 

14. Lowther Hall (now burned), built in 1822 by Judge Sam¬ 
uel Lowther; occupied by Lowther, Hardeman, Pursley, Dr. and 
Mrs. Frank Jones. 

15. Oldest residence was built in 1809-10 by Charles McCar¬ 
thy, and was owned from 1880 by Mrs. Margaret E. Pope (Mr.

one time; known as the McCarthy and the Pope House. (Owned 
by Reuben Stewart.)

The Ross Home and People 

The James Ross home built in 1820 in Clinton by Mrs. Ber¬ 
sheba Jones is impressive in appearance situated in the crown of 
a hill back of the old Methodist church. In 1824 it was the home 
of John Pitts and Mary Moore, Ichabod and Peyton Pitts, 
brothers of Jack. Children of John and Mary Pitts were Martha 
who married David E. Blount; M!ana Ann who became Mrs.

W. W. Gibson; Dauphin the father of Mrs. Mamie Purlsey, 
Gus Pitts of Haddock and Elizabeth Pitts who married Samuel 
F. Anderson of Macon in a double wedding with her sister Mari¬ 
etta Pitts and Isaac Hardeman at the old, and later burned, 
David Blount house. It was in this old house Estelle Anderson of 
Macon was born. Peyton Pitts married Mrs. John Pitts’ sister, 
Ann Moore; at her death he married another Moore sister. 
They rest by his side in the old Clinton cemetery. The Gibsons, 
Kingmans, and Andersons are double cousins, as Peyton Pitts 
was the grandfather of the first Mrs. Robert Kingman and of 
the Gibsons. John Pitt’s second wife was Mrs. Mary Blount, 
mother of Col. James H. Blount father and Mrs. Walter D. 
Lamar, Fannie, Jim and Joe Blount. Mrs. Blount was the moth¬ 
er of Mrs. Alice Bowen Andrews and Mrs. Irene Bowen (Mrs. 
John Gray), another son was Ed Blount. Ichabod Pitts married 
Miss Emiline Winship and their children were Cora, Mamie, 
and Will Pitts; Mamie married Robert Hemphill of Atlanta. 

The picture as you see shows the house in excellent condition. 
The medallions, stair and wainscoting are interesting and al¬ 
though the old boxwood gardens are gone, and the big trees, 
the place still is most attractive. 

The Gordon^Bowen-Blount House 

A few miles from Haddock, in Jones County, Georgia, is the 
old Gordon-Bowen-Blount house, which has stood unchanged 
over a hundred years. Because of its being practically unoccupied 
for nearly fifty years, there has been no incentive to remodel; 
consequently, it remains just as it was planned. A screened side 
porch has been added, which can easily be removed, and cement 
bases for the columns of the front stoop have been constructed. 

Begun in 1828, it was many months in the building, as the 
intricacies of detail in the interior plaster and wood decoration 
attest. It was built for John W. Gordon afterwards a general 
in the Mexican War, who moved from Hancock County with 
his parents, Thomas and Patience W. Gordon, and lived for 
many years near the old fort at Fortville. The house has changed 
ownership but twice: when General Gordon, on removing to 
Texas to make his home, sold it to Thomas O. Bowen of Jones 
County, in 1848; and when he, in turn, went to Texas and sold

as Hamilton and Andrews house. 

it to his brother-in-law, James H. Blount, in 1880. It was de¬ 
scribed as “bounded by the road leading from Thomas O. Bow¬ 
en’s house to Fortville, and by lands of J. H. Blount and James 
Finney” It belongs to the Blount estate, although never having 
been used as a permanent home by the Blounts. 

When the Floyd Rifles were called to Norfolk, Va., in April, 
1861, Eugenia Wiley of Macon, and her sweetheart, James H. 
Blount of Jones County, were married. There was not time for a 
honeymoon so they drove to the home of his sister, Mrs. Thom¬ 
as O. Bowen, to spend a few days, before he joined his company 
in Norfolk. Because of the sentiment attached. Mr. Blount 
bought the house in 1880. Thereafter, even though he was in 
Congress at the time, and later was sent by President Cleveland 
as special envoy to the Hawaiian Islands, while retaining a resi¬ 
dence in Macon, whenever it was possible he and Mrs. Blount 
spent their wedding anniversary at the old house in Jones Coun¬ 
ty. This custom Mrs. Blount has kept up during her years of 
widowhood. It was later the setting for many delightful picnic 
parties given by her daughter, Mrs. Walter D. Lamar of Macon.

In 1819, a young artisan, Daniel Pratt, left his birthplace, 
Temple, N. H., and arrived in Savannah with his kit of tools. 
For five years he had been in training as a carpenter, with ship¬ 
building experience on the New England coast. In 1821, he went 
to Milledgeville, then the capital, where several houses in the 
town and county reflect his work with either a spiral or an ellipti¬ 
cal staircase, among them being “Westover,” in Baldwin County, 
and Lowther Hall, in Jones. He bought a plantation in 1825

on the stage road to Milledgeville. Two years later he married 
Esther Ticknor, who was on a visit from her home in New Eng¬ 
land to the family of her late brother, Dr. Orray Ticknor, in 
Clinton. It was soon after that that he began the construction of 
the mansion house for John W. Gordon. 

A man of indomitable energy and far-reaching vision, Daniel 
Pratt later founded the town of Prattville, Ala., and made a 
fortune in the manufacture of cotton gins. His residence at Pratt-

ville, still standing, is almost a replica of the Gordon house in 
Jones County. 

On a high hill above Commissioners Creek, and situated in a 
grove of red oaks and hickories and storm-torn white oaks, the 
Gordon house faces due east, and is surrounded by a plantation 
of several thousand acres. In the earlier days the approach to 
the house from the big gate was around a circular driveway,

bordered with paulownia trees, to an avenue of crepe myrtle 
which still borders the walk leading to the front stoop. Within 
the circle of the driveway were flower beds bordered in boxwood 
in geometrical designs. 

Resting on a foundation of old brick, a few feet high, the 
house is without basement or cellar. The two-story stoop is typi¬ 
cal of the period. Two fluted wooden columns of Roman Doric 
order uphold a pediment in which guttae have been employed in 
place of the more conventional dentils; and a frieze with guttae 
extends across the house under the eaves. Pilasters at each corner 
of the facade balance pleasantly with those that flank the door¬ 
way. The balcony, rimmed with turned balusters, extends to the 
pillars. The house is built of wooden clapboards, with two stories 
and an attic, and has a gabled roof. 

The arresting feature of the facade then and today is the 
intricate design of the fanlights above the doors. Roman in 
feeling and semi-circular in form, the lower fanlight rests in 
pilaster shafts and side-lights with lower panels flanking double, 
six-paneled doors. The upper fan-light is elliptical. 

To those who know the house the staircase is an anticipation: 
to others a glad surprise, for it is spiral, with all the beauty that 
its tradition implies. The hallway is divided by an elliptical arch, 
the front hall being ten feet in width, but widening beyond the 
archway to form a circular hall for the stairway. Springing from 
a shaft with fluted pilasters on front and back, but paneled on 
the inner side, the arch is delicately designed and has an acan¬ 
thus-leaf decoration. 

Beginning just behind the left shaft, the free-hanging stair¬ 
case rises in a graceful spiral to the attic floor. The round hand¬ 
rail is of walnut and the balusters, plain and attenuated, are of 
pine, three-quarters of an inch in width. An applied scroll of 
carved wood, gilded, decorates the stringer. The latter is painted 
to represent black marble, and the newel post is black, with 
gold trim. 

The mantels are very beautiful, especially the one in the 
living room, flanked by a tall deeply set niche on either side. 
The medallions of carved and ever-widening circles overhead 
are exquisitely done. The wainscoting around the base of the 



HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 207 

walls is in perfect condition and attractively panelled in light 
and dark woods. The moldings are wide and intricate. 

This house cost General Gordon over $60,000 and it took five 
years to budd it. Dr. Horatio Owen Bowen bought the house

and plantation from Gen. Gordon when cotton was selling for 
four cents a pound. Dr. Bowen gave the place to his son, Thom¬ 
as O. Bowen. Dr. Horatio Bowen was an esteemed physician, a 
graduate of Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia. He had 
one of the most complete libraries in the South in a building 
separate from the home, which Sherman burned, while the Fed- 
erals occupied the big house. South of the house was a huge 
scuppernong vine and a fruit orchard of peaches, figs, quinces, 
apples and cherries. On one side were currant bushes and the 
purple fragrant lilac plants. Joining this was the vegetable 
garden naturally terraced with eight big vegetables beds with 
broad walks between bordered with white and purple iris. At 
the corners were rosebushes which bloomed every month. The 
poppies and jonquils formed beds along the terraces. 

(Now owned by Dr. Lindsey of Milledgeville, who kindly 
let me visit and photograph the house.) 

The Runaway Bride—A True Story 
The Gordon House 

The runaway bride was a beautiful brunette beauty, Miss 
Camilla Gordon, daughter of Gen. and Mrs. John W. Gordon. 
The wedding had been planned for months and the plantation 
had never looked prettier. It was spring, flowers were in bloom, 
the mockingbirds sang and the moon silhouetted the large trees, 
the grass was emerald green and the big house with a fresh 
coat of white paint looked like a bride itself. Even the slave 
houses were whitewashed and the yards clean and prim with 
spring snow-on-the-mountain, cape jasamine, and prince feather. 
The groom was to come by boat to Savannah and get the stage 
coach for the wedding. A caterer from New York had been at 
the house for days and with the help of the servants had made 
the most luscious food and the drinks were plentiful. The linens 
were pressed to a queen’s taste and the satin wedding dress laid 
out in the guest room, with its real lace Juliet cap and yards of 
veiling and a long satin train. Surely no queen could have had a 
more beautiful face or setting than Camille, but few noticed 
that she was restless and on edge. The day before the groom 
was to arrive, Camille met her lover at a huge old oak tree on 
the Drew Place nearby. He had his best horse hitched to a new

buggy and together they drove to Clinton with all of the haste 
possible, which was about eleven miles. As they drove up to the 
courthouse, the horse fell dead. They were married in front of 
the courthouse steps in Clinton and got the stage coach to Sa¬ 
vannah. As the bride and groom arrived at the hotel whom 
should Camilla Gordon see but her would-be groom leaving the 
hotel. Now I would like to give his name and to tell what hap¬ 
pened after that, but that is all that I know. We do know that 
the Gordon family moved to Texas about 1848. 

The Comer House 

This house was built in 1817 by David T. Milling, bounded by 
Pulaski (Macon Highway) Pinckney St. on the north and Wash¬ 
ington on the south; was occupied by Milling, Ormsbv, Hutch¬ 
ings, Kingman, Gresham, and now owned by Mrs. Mary Comer. 
This house had been changed by removal of two porches and 
only the main rooms are as originally built. 

The Small’s House 

The George Small’s own one of the very old houses in Jones 
County. It is built on a hill and very impressive, sturdy and 
strong with a long veranda. On a stone set in the grassy front 
are the words carved, “William Johnson, 1849.” The high steps 
are of native granite and Mr. Small says that old mill stones 
down on the creek near the house weigh tons and are smoothly 
chiselled, showing just where the old mill stood. The rooms are 
large with the traditional high ceilings and have large fireplaces 
with handwrought andirons and fire set. The setting of oa^s and 
plants give a cool, shady and ante-bellum appearance to this 
attractive and well kept place. This is located several miles on 
the road passing the old Clinton Methodist Church. 

Newton House in Forsyth Moved from Clinton 

The Newton home in Forsyth was torn down 130 years age in 
Clinton and moved to Forsyth by ox cart. This is a beautiful 
two-story house and one of the show places in Forsvth. It is 
named “Ishpekan” meaning “it is high.” At the ends of the huge 
structure are two broad chimneys, very substantial and in keep¬ 
ing with the size of the house. 

The house has characteristics of the New England houses of 
its day. During the Civil War it was used as a commissary. The

Peyton Pitts House 

The Peyton Pitts house was built about 1835 on the old Indian 
Trail known as “Horse Path” and later called the Garrison 
Road. Soon after Pitts built his house he built the church, Pitts 
Chapel, which is still in use. The house like many of that period 
was large and sturdy with long porches, painted white with the 
dark green blinds. Peyton Pitts built a village of his own, for 
his house and church was only part of the village. There was the 
grain house, the smokehouse, the shop and carriage house, the 
slave cabins, and the pigeon house. These were all painted white 
in a large grove of oak and hickory trees. Pitts liked pigeons and 
he could be seen mornings and evenings with a basket of grain 
feeding them. The house burned about 1950. Pitts sold the place 
to Jernagin Wood about 1870. Pitts Chapel will be found in 
“Churches.”

Cabiness House 

The old George and Sarah Kirk Cabiness house built about 
1808 and lately restored by a descendant, Mrs. Doris Hunger- 
ford Fraley, is located near Bradley. On land not far away is 
a walled-in burial lot of this family. Mrs. Fraley has a hand- 
woven sampler made by the daughter of George and Sarah 
Cabiness, Martha A. W. Barron, wife of Benjamin Barron. The 
house is located in Barron’s District, G.M.D. 300. A very sturdy 
and attractive building with unusual motifs on cornice and man¬ 
tels. The yellow and green in the old sampler was used in restor¬ 
ing the interior. 

The drill grounds of the Militia in Jones County were near 
this house and during periods of war were in constant use. The 
place is located about two miles east of Bradley.

man in the county. His life is found in “Men of Mark” in this 
book. He built the house about 1820. It had two stories and a 
full basement with a wide hall on the first floor. The stair was 
very attractive with a graceful curving mahogany stair rail 
which went up to the attic above the second floor. The rooms 
were large with high ceilings and until recent years there were 
two wide short porches in front. The drive came through an 
avenue of cedars for 200 yards and then at the gate the huge 
boxwoods made the walk on to the house. Boxwoods were also 
used as a foundation planting. When the house was new Hon. 
Joe Day had his friends from the Capital in Milledgeville to 
drive over to a great barbecue dinner out under the majestic 
oaks in the grove. The place was sold to Benjamin Barron in 
1845 and is now called the Barron Place. Benjamin Barron 
reared a large family here and the graveyard enclosed by an 
iron fence is nearby. At present the property is owned by Dr. 
B. L. White.

The Old Clinton Hotel 

This historic house now owned by Mrs. Valentine Barron 
Blair is located at the east corner of the public square (on the 
road from Milledgeville to Fort Hawkins). This house was 
built between 1810 and 1820 by John Mitchell. In 1820 it was 
added to by James Smith, a lawyer. Other owners were: 
Mitchell, Smith, Bowen, Barron and Blair. The old Census 
record shows that guests were registered at this old hotel from 
New York, Maryland, South Carolina, North Carolina, and 
several from Ireland.

work is most interesting. The walls, ceilings and floors have very 
wide hand-hewn boards of the heart of pine. When having some 
work done on the staircase a few years ago, the workman found 
two old duelling pistols hidden there. The story is that the man 
of the house was to meet his challenge one morning early, so the 
night before his wife dropped the pistols down behind the stair 
well and they were never found. 

The W. W. Barron House 

The W. W. Barron house now owned by Miss Ben Barron 
was built in 1818 by Samuel Dennis; remodeled by later occu¬ 
pants, Pope’s, Parks (Wiley B. Pope), Michael Sullivan, Chas. 
Hutchings, Geo. Mann. Mrs. Mary J. Park to Mrs. Ida Barron. 
The deeds speak of the streets of Clinton as west side, Pulaski 
Street, east side, as Cook’s Lane, north side as David White’s 
Land and south as Washington Street, Pinkney on north. 

This is an attractive two-story house high on the bank of 
Macon-Gray highway and is in a good state of preservation.

Glawson House 

The Joseph Glawson house was built about 1842 and first 
owned by Judge James Gray, father of the James Gray for 
whom the City of Gray was named. The house was then sold to 
Thomas Ware Stewart and wife Palatia Harrison Wilson Stew¬ 
art, M.D., next the home was sold to Joseph Glawson and was 
in possession of this family until it was torn down in recent years. 
The place was very attractive with great boxwood borders and 
old cedars and a vista of rolling land and forests on every side 
and the cotton fields of hundreds of acres, in the distance. 

The U. S. Lancaster Home 

This old home was moved from Blountsville between 1845-50 
and at that time belonged to J. B. Godard. He had bought the 
house from Williams prior to this. It was taken down piece by 
piece and all of the framework has Roman numerals cut on 
them for matching, in order to put the house up, as it was. The 
huge uprights of the heart of pine go from the ground up 
through the second story to the top of the house, about 75 feet. 
William Morton bought this from Godard. The home is attrac¬ 
tive inside and out and is typical of the ante-bellum buildings of 
the 1820’s. The home is now owned and occupied by Mr. and 
Mrs. U. S. Lancaster, located about halfway between Haddock 
and Gray. 

Greene Home 

The deeds to this property of the Greene home run back to 
1807. In 1862 the Greene family came into possession through 
an executor’s sale. The place contained 900 acres, and four hun¬ 
dred more acres were purchased later. It was the boast of the 
Greene family that never had a bushel of corn, a pound of meat 
nor a sack of flour been purchased for the place. The house was 
built by Henry Finney in about 1821. The hand-carved mantels 
were a great attraction. A vault over the grave of Benjamin 
Finney and one over the grave of William Reynolds, indicate 
foremer owners as shown by deeds. One headstone of W. M. 
Greene shows that he was the youngest brother in the family. 
He died in Macon in 1896 at 26 years. A. B. Greene reared 
eleven of his own children and five orphan children, three boys 
and two girls, nieces and nephews whose parents were dead.

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


This place is near the Dunlap place and in recent years has 
been called “Honeysuckle Hill,” because of the abundant growth 
of wild honeysuckle along the streams and boundaries. 

White House 

Col. Thomas White is listed as one of the first settlers of 
Jones County, and is on the list of Justices in 1810. Represented 
Jones County in the Legislature in 1817-1818. He marreid Eliz¬ 
abeth Haynes Clark of Virginia and built his home near the 
Jasper County line, and White’s District is named for him. At 
first the house was a square two-story structure, with fanlights 
over the lower and upper doors with double porches upstairs 
and down. Later two wings were added on each side of the tall 
structure. The old family cemetery stands nearby enclosed in a 
wall made of massive native stones. Back of the big house stood 
slave cabins and a large two-story brick house used for spinning 
and weaving. This building was taken down when the grandsons 
built their houses at a later date, the brick were used for chim¬ 
neys and pillars. The old brick kitchen still stands, with the huge 
fireplace and Dutch ovens. The brick are handmade from clay 
on the place and fired in an oven. 

Both the kitchen and old home are in ruins as for many years 
shiftless tenants have lived there. The right wing of the house 
has fallen down, the columns are gone and the once beautifully 
kept plantation is filled with briars and bushes. It was here that 
several wounded Yankees were nursed back to health. Three of 
the wounded prisoners’ names were, James Humphreys with a 
left leg amputated (Lieut.) Co. A, 1st Ky. Cav., Danial Murphy, 
Lieut. 1st Ky. Cav. Co. G, lumbar vertebrae, Sgt. Thomas J. 
Jenkins, 1st Ky Cav. Co. I, left leg amputated. These men were 
wounded near Round Oak at the battle of Sunshine Church. 
Mrs. White tore up her linen sheets for bandages and cared for 
these men. She told her descendants of the time when they left 
after cessation of hostilities, and they never heard from them 
again. An upstairs bedroom was papered with the useless Con¬ 
federate money. At this time Col. Thomas White was dead and 
the son Joseph Clark White and wife Adeline C. Alexander 
White and children, Thomas A., Frank, Addie, George, B. J.,

and Caroline lived there. Caroline and one of the Federal Lts. 
fell in love, but she was not allowed to marry him. 

A dry well used to keep foods cool is in the back yard. This 
was the forerunner of the refrigerator and the deep freeze of 
today. Old currant bushes, berry vines and fig trees may still be 
found in the fruit orchard gone for many years. 

Green Roberts House 

John Wilder sold 101A. of land to William Wilder on 
July 6, 1820 and William built a house. In 1852 Green Roberts 
bought the house from William Wilder. At some time rooms 
were added prior to this. Wooden pegs and hand hewn timbers 
of virgin pine were used in the construction and the house is 
sound and attractive now. The great-granddaughter of Green 
Roberts (Mrs. George Hadaway), lives in this house now and 
it is owned by Mrs. C. C. Jones of Macon. 

John C. Green House 

The John C. Green House was built by William Jones and 
William Davis in 1812, prior to the sale of this tract of land to 
James Green on March 15, 1827. On Nov. 15, 1833 Joshua 
Davis, Jr. sold this house to James Green, then he sold it to 
William Green who in turn sold it to John C. Green Sept. 19, 
1858. This is a white two-story house with traditional ceilings 
and large rooms. The original hand-carved mantels are still in 
the living and dining rooms, as is the wainscoting of carved 
paneling. Both the front and back steps are of solid native gran¬ 
ite. Near the house are fruit trees and nearby are two streams. 

William Moughon House, Fortville 
(See picture) 

One of the most imposing houses in the county was the house 
at old Fortville situated on a hill and built by Daniel Pratt. It 
stood on a corner at the crossing of two stage roads, the upper 
Macon road to Milledgeville and here it was crossed by the 
stage road leading from the Ichabod Cox Place on the Garri¬ 
son Road to Blountsville where it intersected the Monticello, 
Eatonton roads. 

The high two-storied house with tall fluted columns was 
flanked by tall sycamore trees with white trunks. There was a 
flower garden of an acre of patterned boxwood with shrubs and

flowers stretching along the Clinton road. There was a grove of 
towering oaks around the house and a pond nearby. There were 
dozens of slave houses on the south side all sturdy, strong and 
whitewashed, having their own trim yards. 

The house was fitted with handsome imported hardware 
throughout, spacious rooms, hand-carved mantels, a spiral stair¬ 
way and beautiful fanlights over the entrance. Pratt built this 
house about the time that he built the Gordon Bowen, Blount- 
Lindsey house near Haddock, about 1828-30. The house at 
Haddock was considered the finer of the two because of a third 
floor and the spiral stairway which had greater height. 

This house was owned by the following: Moughon, Ormsby, 
John W. Finney, W. A. Chambers, B. F. Ross, Clement Master- 
son and John W. Clark who reared his family here and died 
here. His son, Robert Clark of Macon owned the house when 
fire claimed it on June 7, 1946. 

Tomatavia 

Tomotavia the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Stewart near 
James was built in 1865 by Mr. Stewart’s maternal grandfather, 
Thomas Jefferson Woolfolk on land that was an original grant 
of 1808 to his father. The house is built of timber cut from the 
place and on a foundation of stone quarried on the place cut in 
blocks of two to three feet. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart restored the 
place and landscaped the grounds so as to present a different 
picture each season. The structure is one-storied with high ceil¬ 
ings and large rooms. 

Johnson House in Clinton 

The Johnson house on Madison street on the southwestern 
side of Clinton has stood for eleven decades marvelously well- 
preserved and unmarred by remodelling. It has always been 
noted for the classic wallpaper in the parlor, still rich in coloring 
and unfaded, mounted on cloth and “hung” on the walls of broad 
wood boards. The refinement of the wallpaper and the pleasing 
details of the house evoke repeated inquiries as to who built it 
and when. 

It is aptly called the “Johnson house,” for it has been occu¬ 
pied for nearly ninety-four years by descendants of Francis 
Solomon Johnson and Lucia Griswold, his wife. On October 3,

It has been called the “Flewellen place,” for General William 
Flewellen, in February, 1835, bought from Edward Taylor four 
half-acre lots, Nos. 33, 34, 35, and 36, for $2,225.00. William 
Flewellen died in August of that year, leaving a wife and six 
children. His will bequeathed to his wife, Mary (Thweatt) 
Flewellen, his houses and lots in Clinton “so long as she may 
see fit to retain them” and to be disposed of by his executors, 
“as they may think fit and proper”; also his carriage and car¬ 
riage horse and two large plantations in Jones and Monroe 
counties. 

His six children continued to live with their mother until she 
married Isaac N. Johnson of Newton County, on Nov. 24, 1842. 
In her marriage contract it was distinctly set out that the large 
property willed her by her husband, William Flewellen, was to 
remain her separate estate and property to be administered by 
Robert V. Hardeman as trustee. This did not include the home 
place for, on Jan. 1, 1843, Abner H. Flewellen of Muscogee 
county, brother of William Flewellen, dec’d, “by virtue of the 
power in me vested by the last will and testament of William 
Flewellen” sold to Bennett Bell for $1,700.00 “a well improved 
lot in the town of Clinton containing 3 acres now occupied by 
Isaac N. and Mary Johnson” adjoining the lot of Ann (Mrs. 
A. J.) Morris on the rear and fronting the lots of Peter and 
Green Clower on the street “running in the direction of the 
Baptist church,” which was Madison street. 

Edward Taylor, on Dec. 28, 1831, bought a vacant half-acre 
lot, No. 36, on Madison street from Thomas Hamilton, and 
the next day bought from John W. Turner for $1,600.00 half 
acre lots Nos. 34 and 35, “both in Clinton, and being the house 
and lot whereon Thomas Hamilton has resided and conveyed to 
the said Hamilton by James Gray by deed dated 15 Jan. 1824, 
and from the said Hamilton conveyed to the said John W. 
Turner by deed dated Feb. 21, 1831.” Edward Taylor bought 
lot No. 33 from Daniel Tye on Feb. 10, 1835, and sold it to 
William Flewellen the same day. James Gray bought half-acre 
lot No. 34 on Dec. 25, 1817 and sold lot No. 35 oh April 16, 
1819. These two lots, or one acre, James Gray sold to Hamilton 
for $400.00; as Hamilton resided there from 1824 to February,

1831, and then sold the home place to John W. Turner for 
$1,600.00. The logical conclusion is that Thomas Hamilton had 
the house erected that today occupies lot No. 35, ‘ fronting on 
Madison street.” 



Lowther Hall built in 1822 by Samuel Lowther, architect thought 
to be Daniel Pratt. Later owned by Hardeman. Pursley, Dr. and 
Mrs. Frank Jones. (Burned in 1945.) (Courtesy Mrs. Blair) 


Lowther Hall 

Lowther Hall built in 1822—is believed to have been de¬ 
signed by Daniel Pratt—set on a wide sweep of lawn shaded by 
elms and cedars. The hip roofed, clapboarded structure, a hand¬ 
some two-story building of post-Colonial design. It has small, 
paned, shuttered windows, a small Roman Doric portico and a 
graceful, elliptical fanlight above the entrance door. A tran- 
somed door at the second floor opens on the roof of the portico. 
Built by Judge Samuel Lowther, later occupied by Hardeman, 
Pursley and Dr. and Mrs. Frank Jones. 

Enclosed by a picket fence and handsome gate, were the 
grounds of beauty, filled with tall cedars and elms, with green 
velvet lawn, shrubs and flowers. At the right of the house was

the rose garden bordered with boxwood and beds of sweet helio¬ 
trope. There was wisteria climbing in the trees in the back of 
the gardens and red crepe myrtles. The house seen through a 
vista of tall trees was painted white. Pomegranates, scupper- 
nongs, figs, pears and plums grew in the fruit orchard. The old 
thornless Lady Bankshia rose climbed the garden wall with its 
clusters of yellow flowers. There were bridal wreath spireas, 
tea olive and flag lilies. There was the basement where the wine 
cellar was located, the sewing room where the frames for quilt¬ 
ing hung from the ceiling. 

Squire Lowther came to Warren County from Virginia and 
later came to Jones County and built this house in 1818. His 
daughter Charlotte Mary in 1835 married Timothy Mathews 
Furlow. She died in a few years and Furlow left Clinton and 
went to Holton in Bibb County where he married Margaret 
Holt who was the grandmother of Mrs. Mary Calloway Jones 
who with her husband Dr. Frank Jones owned and restored the 
house before it burned in 1946. 

The house was built after the fashion of Georgia houses of 
that day with four large rooms below and four rooms above 
with a wide hall upstairs and down, becoming narrower at the 
back where the archway in the center of the hall framed the 
lovely stairway. The stairway was sheer beauty, with its long 
graceful sweep, forming an ellipse as it reaches the second floor, 
with its broad steps and low treads with delicate handrails of 
walnut and spindles. Forming the supports for the flat arch 
which divides the front and back halls were two large pillars, 
with pilasters on three sides. The pillars of wood and the arch 
of plaster ornamented with ox-tongue moldings. The entire hall 
moldings were fashioned with great beauty, with the small acan¬ 
thus leaf motif, while the ceilings medallions use the large 
acanthus leaf and blossom for decoration. The intricate and 
beautiful work of fitting the paneling and moldings done by car¬ 
penters a century ago cannot be duplicated today. The hardware 
in the house was perfect, with brass knobs and keyhole covers 
with large locks on the doors with the English maker’s name 
still on them. The small cupboards were paneled with crusader’s 


228 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


crosses and the bedrooms had baseboards and wainscoting about 
30 inches high with stile and panel railing. 

On the right of the front hall was the dining room, with 
plastered walls and cornice with a shell and reed pattern. All of 
the mantels were gracefully shaped with oval panels and reeded 
pilasters. The fireplaces were perfect with a broad flat stone 
hearth, a wide place for the fire, iron crane and pothooks, candle 
molds and an iron kettle. There was a marble-topped table in 
the back hall with the cedar bucket with shining brass bands and 
a silver dipper. A door from the dining room entered the mas¬ 
ter’s bedroom where the four-poster cord bed stood and the in¬ 
laid chest. The fireplace was broad and the mantel very lovely. 
In the parlor the mantel had a medallion in the center with small 
diamond side panels. With the big log fires in that day and the 
candle light softly glowing it must have been wonderful. 

The upstairs rooms were just as lovely and the guest room 
with the fancy four-poster bed covered by a silk handmade quilt 
and hung with graceful valances was a collector’s item. The wig 
and shaving stand with a heavy mahogany dresser were two at¬ 
tractions of this room. The ornate washstand held a lovely bowl 
and pitcher with tiny pink moss roses patterned on them. (Burn¬ 
ed in 1946.)

Towns and Roads — Trails 


The Historic Garrison Road and Trails 

Along the Ocmulgee where Fort Hawkins stood, lands were 
reserved by the government and in 1806 a trading post and fort 
was built, and named in honor of Col. Benjamin Hawkins, the 
famous Indian Agent. This reserve had long been occupied by 
the Indians and the Mound-Builders before them. This was a 
favorite home of the Creeks. Around this fort several stores,

two taverns and several homes were built before Macon was 
laid out. This little village was on the southeastern boundary of 
Jones County. Indian trails crossed here and it was from one of 
these trails that the Garrison road started. 

The Old Ocmulgee Fields, at one time a part of Jones County 
and now Ocmulgee National Park where the Indian Mounds 
are located, were near the Fort Hawkins Reserve. 

Walnut Creek in 1797 was called Ochuncoolga Creek by the 
Indians. It was this creek Col. Benjamin Hawkins crossed as it 
joins the Ocmulgee river. He was in a clumsy log bateau. He had 
passed through Ocmulgee Fields, followed the Indian Trail on 
to Fort Wilkinson, just below Milledgeville along the trail now 
known as the Garrison Road. Along this trail the garrison from 
Fort Wilkinson passed, headed by Col. Hawkins, to establish 
the new Fort Hawkins (1806). 

According to Seymour Dunbar in his four-volume, “History 
of Travel in America,” we find on page 502, Volume 2 an extract 
from the treaty at Washington signed by the Creeks on Nov. 14, 
1805 giving the United States, “A right to a horse path through 
the Creek country from the Ocmulgee to Mobile . . . and the 
Creek Chiefs will have boats kept at the several rivers for the 
convenience of men and horses; and houses of entertainment 
established at suitable places on said paths for the accommoda¬ 
tion of travelers.” Now all of the groundwork for these trea¬ 
ties were laid by Col. Benjamin Hawkins. This was the real be¬ 
ginning of changing this pre-historic path, first used by the wild 
animals and then by the pre-historic Indians, then the Colonial 
Indians, then by the Charlestonians and early Georgians, into a 
genuine road, leading on toward Columbus. 

Before our times it was known as the “Path of the Creek 
Nation”; part of it became the Garrison Road and the whole 
path rapidly became known as the Federal Road or the Mail 
Road and when telegraph wires were put up, some people called 
it “The Wire Road.” 

Fort Hawkins was built in 1806, and it was garrisoned by 
troops from Fort Wilkinson in 1807. Aaron Burr crossed the 
river in March 1807, after his capture on the Tombigbee. He 


230 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


found no ferry there, but did find one at Fort Wilkinson on the 
Oconee just below Milledgeville. 

One fork off the Garrison Road leads from a mile southeast 
of Cumslo and a mile and a half southwest of James and crosses 
the Ocmulgee at Tarver’s Site. 

Parallel with the Garrison Road and approximately two miles 
north of it, “Tom’s Path,” extends all the way from the Oconee 
to the Ocmulgee rivers. It crosses the Oconee at Tobler’s Creek, 
and apparently crosses the Ocmulgee at Holton. Another path 
at the Ocmulgee crossing goes eastward toward the Oconee and 
is known as the Choctaw Trail. It is believed that this trail went 
in the vicinity of Eagle Rock. 

This Old Garrison Road was an important road before and 
during the War of 1812. Along this road went the troops to 
Fort Hawkins. Gov. Peter Early had succeeded Gov. D. B. 
Mitchell and at an intersection in Jones County he reviewed the 
troops going to defend their liberties against the British and 
Indians. 

It is said that this road was first an animal trail and then 
an Indian trail. The settlers and traders later used this trail 
for travel and gradually the road was made wider and better. 
The Indians traveled south to Spanish forts at Tallahassee, St. 
Marks and Pensacola. At one time this route was filled with 
bands of raiding Indians en route or returning from the frontiers 
laden with booty and scalps of Georgians. Couriers carried the 
news from the Capital, Milledgeville, to Clinton (by way of a 
road coming by Lowther Hall) and to Fort Hawkins, that the 
English were stirring up trouble with the Indians and that a 
crisis was impending between the Indians and the Georgians. 
(1811-12.) 

The Garrison Road was an important stagecoach and mail 
route in Colonial days. A man by the name of Phelps had a tav¬ 
ern where the roads lead out to Pitts Chapel. Here the horses 
of the stagecoach were changed and the travelers fed and cared 
for. 

This old road was under the supervision of the local Justices 
for a time. An order passed on Sept. 19, 1808 appointed Charles 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


231 


Parting and Benjamin Howard as overseers of the Garrison or 
Federal Road. (See Inferior Court Minutes of 1808.) 

Today this road is paved and in Jones County a State His¬ 
toric marker is placed at the intersection of road leading from 
it up to Gray. As this road enters Milledgeville another State 
marker has an interesting inscription, (this is Highway 49.)

Indian Trails 

Many Creek Indian towns were located on the Chattahoochee 
river, about 100 miles below what is now Columbus. Their paths 
were well traveled trails open to horses but not suitable to 
wagons. “Horse Path” from Cusseta, a town below Columbus 
ran almost due east to the Flint river near the Old Creek Agen¬ 
cy, thence to Fort Hawkins in Jones County. Near here^ were 
the “Ocmulgee Old Fields” on a vast river bottom which yielded 
great crops of corn to the savage owners. This path crossed 
Jones County to James and ended at Rock Landing on the 
Oconee below Milledgeville. 



232 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Another Indian Trail was “Old Indian Path,” which ran from 
the Flint river and crossed the Ocmulgee river at what is now 
Juliette and went across Jones County to Milledgeville. Two 
other trails crossing Jones County were “Cheehaw Trail” and 
“Tom’s Trail.” 

These trails were constantly used by Indians and white traders. 
In 1802-04 the Indians ceded all lands between the Ocmulgee 
and Flint rivers: in 1825-26 they ceded all the lands between 
the Flint to the Chattahoochee. 

The son of James Comer, a pioneer of Jones County, said 
that when he was a small boy, he was standing with his father 
on their farm in Finney’s District on “Cheehaw Trail,” when 
two Indians came along going on a long journey. James Comer 
gave each a few dollars to help them along, and they went down 
into the valley nearby and laid down their packs, unslung their 
bows, then made a mark on a tree and put their money on a 
blanket. Then they took their bows and shot at the mark on the 
tree to determine who would possess all of the money. As soon 
as one Indian won the money, they picked up their sacks and 
left, apparently satisfied. 

Clinton 

Clinton, which was first called Albany was the county seat 
and is situated near the center of the county 22 miles, southwest 
of the capital of Milledgeville. 14 miles from Macon, 25 miles 
from Forsyth, 23 miles from Monticello, 28 miles from Irwin- 
ton and 28 from Marion. It had a courthouse, a jail, a Metho¬ 
dist and a Baptist church, male and female academies, three 
taverns, several boardinghouses, stores, a tannery, and me¬ 
chanics shops. The town was healthy and was incorporated in 
1816. 

The most common diseases were, pneumonia and fever. An 
African named Sam property of J. S. Billingslea, at the time of 
his death was said to have been 130 years old. Mrs. Rachel died 
at 81 and Arthur Harrup at 85. (White’s History of Georgia.) 

To a sturdy band of pioneers and settlers who back in 1807 
came into a wilderness of Indian country to build up a civiliza¬ 
tion and a peaceful agricultural life, we owe much. Clinton was 
designated in 1809 as the capital of the county, however the 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


233 


large brick courthouse was not finished until 1818. The contract¬ 
ors for the building were called “undertakers” and Robert and 
John Allen were paid for this work. Robert Hutchings and James 
Smith were selected to secure plans. The Judges at that time 
were Robert Cunningham, Joseph Duckworth, J. W. Ray, G. 
W. Ross. The sale of lots paid for the courthouse. 

This courthouse was an interesting part of Clinton’s history. 
Clinton was the trading center for miles around for as many as 
16,000 people when Macon was in swaddling clothes in 1821. 
Clinton had four springs of freely flowing water that not only 
supplied the people, horses, and travelers but was used for man¬ 
ufacturing purposes. It was a good place for settlers to make a 
home and they did. 

Among the early comers to Clinton were two Yankees who 
were to set their mark upon Georgia. Samuel Griswold and 
Daniel Pratt both skilled carpenters and mechanics. Griswold 
came from Connecticut and Pratt from New Hampshire. The 
first frame dwelling was built by Sam Griswold near the brick 
courthouse and for several years Griswold and his family used 
it for a store and a dwelling. Griswold prospered and soon built 
a handsome house on Bonner’s Hill. Near his home he built a 
gin factory and with Daniel Pratt as an assistant he made gin 
saws and other equipment and the business grew, so that Daniel 
Pratt moved to Alabama where he founded the town of Pratt¬ 
ville and started a gin factory of his own. In 1839 because of no 
railroad facilities, Griswold moved his factory and home to 
Griswoldville. 

The circuit rider preached in Clinton and rode to the small 
town of Macon to preach at what is now Mulberry Methodist 
church. The ladies of Macon drove to Clinton in their carriages 
to purchase crinolines, silks and brocades for their Sunday frocks. 
Charles Hutchings had a fine store and a trip was made to New 
York each year to procure the latest materials. He had a two- 
story frame building on the north side of the square. Diagonally 
across from the Hutchings store, east of the square stood the 
handsome two-story structure which was to serve as the Clinton 
Hotel. Here came many notables to attend balls, to stop over-

night and to enjoy the sumptuous fare at the tables and drink at 
the famous bar which was provided with the best brandies at 50 
cents a quart. 

From the March 29th issue of the Milledgeville Recorder 
is copied the following advertisement: “The Clinton Hotel is 
now completed and ready for the reception of customers. This 
large and commodius building is situated at the east corner of 
the public square, immediately on the main road leading from 
Milledgeville to Fort Hawkins and Macon. It will be conducted 
by John Carter, Mrs. Evans and C. Minor, who take this 
method of informing their friends and the public generally that 
no pains will be spared to render all those who will favor them 
with their company, comfortable. They flatter themselves from 
their long experience in the business and appropriate situation 
of their house to share a part of the public patronage. Their 
table will be furnished with the best the country affords and the 
bar with the choicest liquors. Their tables are convenient and 
will constantly be supplied with wholesome provender and at¬ 
tentive hostess.” 

Registered at hotels in Clinton in 1850, were: Frances Gib¬ 
son, 64, b. in North Carolina; Ann Leslie, 64, b. in South Caro¬ 
lina; W. B. Walsh, 33, b. in Ireland; Sanford Tippett, 54, b. in 
North Carolina; Saunders D. Allen, 40, b. in North Carolina; 
Lucius Donnally, 25, b. in Massachusetts; Samuel F. Anderson, 
20 b. in Georgia; Samuel Blau and family from North Carolina; 
Asa Holmes, 50, b. in South Carolina; John Bassieux and wife 
b. in Virginia; David Defoor, b. in South Carolina; Timothy 
Auright, 33, b. in Ireland; Catherine Hailey, 27, b. in Ireland; 
James Kennedy, b. in Ireland; Solomon and Hetty Lockett, b. in 
Maryland; Sara Horn, 34, b. in New York with ch. Samuel and 
Elizabeth. There were other names from Georgia. 

Not only business flourished there in Clinton but it was be¬ 
coming the seat of culture and learning. On the hillside back of 
Lowther Hall and south toward Macon was the Academy op¬ 
erated by Thomas Bog Slade. Here came girls to be taught, 
Latin, Greek, music, voice and all of the things that enabled a 
young lady to be “finished,” when she graduated. Slade later 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


237 


went to the infant female college in Macon, Wesleyan and was 
one of the first instructors. 

As early as 1821 Macon, then Fort Hawkins, was drawing 
the business men from Clinton. About 1822-25, a huge slice of 
Jones County was taken by the legislature to make Bibb County. 
Many families were moving into Macon. The coming of the 
railroad to Macon as well as Wesleyan and the river boat trade 
all attracted men who were ambitious. 

Further loss came to Clinton when the railroad in 1886 was 
run two miles away and the town of Gray started. After the 
courthouse was rebuilt at Gray the old historic one at Clinton was 
allowed to deteriorate, and the rooms where Ben Hill, Aleck 
Stephens, L. Q. C. Lamar and Robert Toombs had practiced 
law are gone forever. 

Though Clinton became a lost town, the glories which were 
once hers will not die in Georgia’s history. Many Revolutionary 
heroes lived there. Many fine men who wore the Confederate 
gray had their homes in Clinton and their descendants will re¬ 
member their valor and mourn over the burning of the fine 
homes and the hardships which the survivors of the War Be¬ 
tween the States endured during the terrible years of Recon¬ 
struction. 

After 150 years, a few of the fine old houses still stand, some 
are gray with neglect and falling into decay, others are well-kept 
and freshly painted standing proudly as they did over a century 
ago, hauntingly reminiscent of a past era. 

Lowther Hall built in 1818 by Daniel Pratt for Samuel 
Lowther and later owned by Dr. and Mrs. Frank Jones was a 
show place in Georgia but unfortunately burned in 1946. It stood 
on the right of the road as one drives from Macon. It was sur¬ 
rounded by a write picket fence and shaded by giant trees. The 
wide green lawn and gaily blooming shrubs made a delightful 
picture. On the same side of the road and next to it was the old 
Jesse Pope house built in 1820, later bought by W. W. Barron 
and now is occupied by his daughter Miss Ben Barron. Directly 
opposite where Lowther Hall stood is the home occupied by 
Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Stewart, which was the Richard Hutch- 


238 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


ings home, later F. S. Johnson (who married a daughter of Sam 
Griswold) then H. S. Greaves and now the Reuben Stewarts. 

What is known as the Dr. Kingman house built in the 1820’s 
across from the W. W. Barron house, once belonged to the 
Kingmans first of whom was Dr. Asbury Kingman. 

The old home of the Gen. Alfred Iversons is north of the 
Kingman house, and once was owned by the Juhans then Rev. 
and Mrs. T. W. Ellis and now owned by Ben Willingham. It 
sets back among the cedars atop a hill and the lawn slopes down 
to a stream which comes from the famous old springs that en¬ 
ticed early settlers to Clinton. That stream known as Tanyard 
branch, was the site of the Morgan tanyard in the 1820’s. Here 
too, lived Mrs. P. T. Anderson a descendant of Sam Griswold 
and the Hutchings family. 

Tumbled down and about to fade away is the old Worsham 
house about a hundred yards before you reach the location of 
where Lowther Hall stood. This old house has defied the ele¬ 
ments for well over a century and for many years was the post 
office of Clinton. Here lived twin sisters, one a widow and one 
an old maid. Miss “Zet” handed out the mail each day from the 
little old house and Mrs. Pope was the other twin. For about 
fifty years these two served as post office officials. 

Northeast of the square is the house of two stories and tall 
white columns with a wide veranda which was the Clinton Hotel 
and later lived in by Solicitor James Smith, Sr. Mr. Jim Turk 
and then the Barrons and is now owned by Mrs. Valentine Bar¬ 
ron Blair. 

The Dennis Greens live in the home built in 1810 by the 
Hutchings, also owned by Captain and Madame Parish. While 
Captain Jonathan Parish lived there in 1825, Gen. LaFayette 
made his historic visit to Clinton and went to this house to re¬ 
fresh himself. (Gen Kilpatrick also occupied the house in 1864.) 

Mr. and Mrs. Will Johnson live in the home that has been 
in the Johnson family for more than a hundred years. It is a 
beautiful example of New England architecture just off the 
public square. It has narrow green blinds, a stoop on two sides, 
it is two stories and the huge magnolias and old cedars make 
a wonderful setting for this attractive home. The wallpaper a 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


239 


hundred and thirty years old is in perfect condition and the 
French scenes that reach from floor to ceiling is worth traveling 
a great distance to see. Built by Thos. Hamilton in 1824. 

In front of the Will Johnson’s home is the home of once 
Peter and Lurany Clower built in 1816-19. The huge square 
columns and the paneling were unusual. (Still standing.) 

Still standing is the Earl Hamilton’s house which was built in 
1830 by James Lockett (wife was Rebecca Barron) next owned 
by Blount, the birthplace of Mrs. Dorothy Lamar Blount later 
owned by Roland T. Ross. 

The lovely home built in 1826 by Mrs. Beersheba Jones, now 
owned by Mr. and Mrs. Jim Ross stands just north of the old 
Methodist church, and is in good condition. 

Clinton may some day come back, as Macon stretches out to 
the northward, who knows, and may those who come later al¬ 
ways cherish the memories of that historic town. 

The back room of most of the groceries in those early days, 
was the bar room equipped with drinks, a barman and tables to 
accommodate the patrons. 

Stirring political days called forth much controversy. The 
Whigs and Democrats would argue over the annexing of Texas, 
the Union, secession and quote Ben Hill’s speeches. The only 
public halls were the Masonic Lodge and the courthouse. 

There is ample evidence of the fact that Clinton enjoyed a 
great measure of culture and good living. The tables had damask 
cloths, sterling silver and the food was served lavishly from 
sauterne with the fish, to port wine for the men’s conversation, 
after the ladies with much rustlings of stiff petticoats and taffeta 
dresses had retired to the parlor. 

There were week-end house parties when the guests danced 
until the wee hours while the fiddle played merry tunes. The 
nights were gentle and charming with perhaps a full moon, the 
white columns, cool porches, the fragrance of cape jasamine 
blooming, dark shadows cast by boxwoods and myrtle and a 
whiff of honey suckle. Shading the porches were either huge mag¬ 
nolias or towering oaks, and the land stretched on and on with 
the growing cotton plants. 

What did it matter if the mail only came once a week? What 


240 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


mattered that the only lights were tallow candles or twenty miles 
was all that one could travel in a day? Was there not happiness, 
gallantry and loyalty? 

The housewife hailed peddlers with delight as she could buy 
things from the outside and hear of his travels, get fancy laces, 
patterns for dresses and many gadgets unknown to the country 
stores. 

Homes had governesses for their children, usually from the 
north. Church discipline was practiced and imprudent conduct 
and brethren disputing, drinking and cursing were forgiven if 
it was asked for, but if not, they were excluded from member¬ 
ship. 

A couple in old Clinton who had no children of their own 
but truly loved everyone else’s were Captain and Madame Par¬ 
rish. They lived in the house later occupied by Richard Henry 
Hutchings I, and now by Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Greene. They 
had large plantations and many negroes. Madame Parrish was 
a sister of Mrs. Samuel Lowther, and like her, was a smart 
business woman, having her own plantation and managing it 
herself. She used to give table-board to the young men of the 
town. She had splendid servants, and was a fine housekeeper, 
grew vegetables to perfection in her garden; raised her own hams, 
poultry, mutton and beef on her own plantation. She had fruit 
orchards, her own dairy and the food there was known far and 
wide. Her price was ten dollars per month in gold, payable the 
last day of December each year. 

One year on the last day in December ten young men put the 
one hundred and twenty dollars in gold each on the table. This 
$1,200.00 Madame Parrish paid for a Negro girl for a house 
servant, whom the boys immediately named, “Gold Dust.” 

When people on the stagecoaches had to stay overnight in 
Clinton, the ladies chose to stay at the quiet home of the Par¬ 
rish’s and enjoy the wonderful hospitality and delicious foods, 
unequalled anywhere, while the men usually stayed at the tavern 
where politics were discussed and the bars made for conviviality. 
The Parrishes are buried in the old Clinton cemetery near the 
Methodist church. 

Clinton had some fine teachers, among whom were: Thomas 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


241 


Bog Slade of North Carolina a minister, leader and educator; 
J. P. Barrow a brother of Chancellor Barrow of the University 
of Georgia; a Mrs. Parks who was outstanding in education and 
methods of teaching; Miss Sara Rockwell an excellent teacher 
and John Harris Chappell. He taught in Clinton when he was 
only twenty years old and afterwards became President of 
G.S.C.W. then known as G.N.&I.C. Mr. Chappell came from 
Columbus. 

In the early days of Jones County mail was brought from 
Gordon to Clinton by a mailman riding horseback over the red 
hills with heavy pouches on each side of his saddle. Others dis¬ 
tributed this mail over the county at the stores in each village. 
It is said that General Sherman used Pitts Chapel at the Cross¬ 
roads as a hospital, in 1864. 

Durrsville was a settlement in the Camp Hope part of Jones 
County, which is in the southeastern part. A community known 
as Darbysville was an early village, now lost to sight or loca¬ 
tion. The lower eastern part of Jones County was called the 
“piney woods section” and the upper part the “oaky woods” 
section. Most of the best homes in the county were made from 
the virgin longleaf pine in that “piney woods,” section. 

During the period along about 1835, Clinton had fifty-six 
substantial homes, ten stores, two churches, three doctors, a 
tannery, a silversmith, a photograph gallary. Clinton was a 
large town before Macon was settled, and many people in the 
early settlement of Macon came to Clinton to shop and to wor¬ 
ship. 

The factory and iron foundry of Samuel Griswold were busily 
turning out implements and cotton gins. At that time Griswold 
made more cotton gins than any place in the world. These gins 
were sent all over the South by wagons, before the railroad was 
built. 

On an old ledger of a store of Clinton kept in the 1820’s we 
find these names: William Butler, Mr. Thigpen (Dad Thigpen), 
Sam Dole, Roger McCarthy, Robert Cunningham, Sam Mor¬ 
gan, John R. Gregory, Dr. Bowen, Dr. Hamilton, Sam Lowther, 
Peter Clower, Green Clower, Chas. and Robert Hutchings, Tim 
Furlow whose first wife was Mary Charlotte Lowther, Dr. Bar- 


242 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


ron. On other old documents at that time the names of these 
citizens are found: Henry G. Lamar, Alfred Iverson, James M. 
Gray, Robert V. Hardeman, Thomas Blount, John Bayne, Peter 
Kolb, Abner Slaughter, Abner Flewellen, Peter Northern, Ster¬ 
ling Lanier, David E. Blount. 

Many of these men represented Jones County in the Senate 
and Legislature in 1840-50 when she had three or four repre¬ 
sentatives. 

The Clinton Courthouse 

The courthouse was a square two-story building set in a public 
square. The building was made of brick, with the lower floor 
having rooms for county offices with a large hall in the center. 
Up stairs was the main courtroom and a room each for the 
grand jury and the petit jury. Around the courthouse were large 
shade trees and a decorative iron fence (now owned by the 
Whitehurst family of Jeffersonville). This square with the 
sturdy building was the nucleus of the town as well as the county 
for many years. 

Off about one hundred yards across the street from the back 
of the courthouse was a two-story jail built of hand hewn blocks 
of granite (see picture). Later these blocks were placed as a 
retaining wall around the new courthouse* at Gray. 

Around this square were grouped many stores, barrooms, 
three taverns, the Masonic Hall, a photograph gallary, shops 
and other businesses. The presiding Judge and the Solicitor 
General traveled on horseback for there were no railroads and 
few roads. There were two court terms a year which rarely 
lasted over a week each. The Judge was usually a man of wide 
experience and had to judge the law as there was no library or 
reports for reference. Court week was a big occasion for the 
county seat and for weeks preparations had been going on. Eggs 
and butter had been saved up, chickens fattening in the pens, the 
cedar water buckets were scrubbed until the bands of brass 
looked like gold. The drinking gourds had been scrubbed and 
sunned. The gingercakes and poundcakes and custards were 
made the day before and the homes were scrubbed, curtains 
washed, beds aired and things were clean from steps to attic. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


243 


Every house within two miles of the courthouse was a board¬ 
ing house or had visitors which the men brought home with them. 
The Judge and the Solicitor usually had a bed in a select home. 
For a quarter one could spend the night and eat of the best 
foods. Some Jurors would stay with friends, others would com^ 
with wagons and bedding and camp. Around these camp fires at 
night there were many tall stories and merrymaking, also fist 
and skull fights. About one-third of these gathered had any real 
business at court, they came to find those with which they wanted 
to do business. Contracts were made, accounts opened or settled. 
The newspaper man sat under a shade tree and wrote out re¬ 
ceipts for subscribers. The horse swappers were trying out horses 
and trading. The stores did a landslide business and the bars did 
a thriving business. The fiddlers played from morning until far 
into the night. Inside the courthouse the legal grind went on, 
but not so monotonous as you might think for some of these 
speeches were masterpieces of eloquence. Many of these lawyers 
became statesmen. There were some men of great strength in 
this pioneer county. 

This square brick courthouse built in 1816 was the third build¬ 
ing to be used as such. The William Jones home (in another 
chapter) was the first in use in 1807-8 and then a frame struc¬ 
ture near the later built brick house was built in 1810, but was 
evidently hastily and poorly built as we find where in five or six 
years the minutes of the Inferior court states that the building 
was inadequate and recommended that a more substantial build¬ 
ing be constructed. 

It is a source of everlasting regret that the sturdy courthouse 
of red brick which was in the center of Clinton was allowed to 
fall down after the new one was built in Gray; however we 
rejoice that the first courthouse, built by William Jones in 1803 
still stands and is duly revered by Col. Samuel Gordon Green, 
the owner. 

The William Jones house was located in Finney’s Militia Dis¬ 
trict, No. 299 G.M.D. In minutes of the Inferior Court of 1809, 
County Affairs, pp. 15-17 we notice Albany, called Clinton for 
in 1808 the Inferior Court passed orders to lay out roads from 


244 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Albany in Jones to the Garrison Reserve: Albany to the Hurri¬ 
cane, and to Walnut Creek where the Garrison Road crosses. 

So actually the date fixed when the name of Albany was 
changed to Clinton is January 20, 1809. Roads were ordered at 
this time to be laid out from Clinton to Thrower’s Mill on Fall¬ 
ing Creek, and from Clinton to the courthouse in Randolph 
County (now Jasper County). 

The square building with a basement and two stories was built 
in 1816-18 and used until the county seat was moved to Gray in 
1905. After this it stood neglected and uncared for for many 
years and finally a windstorm so damaged the building that part 
of it fell in and the owner finished taking it down and moved 
it away. 

Clinton’s Red-Letter Days 

Clinton was connected to the Garrison Road to Milledgeville 
by the road going by Lowther Hall. The stages went to Colum¬ 
bus from Milledgeville over the Garrison Road. Atlanta was not 
in existence at that time. There was a stagecoach road from 
Clinton to Monticello, which was then not as large as Clinton. 
These stagecoaches were large four-wheeled vehicles drawn by 
four horses. There were seats on top for six passengers and one 
sat in front by the driver. Inside there were comfortable seats 
for six, where the ladies and children rode. 

These stages ran on schedule and the arrival was heralded 
with shouts and friendly assistance to unload the bags and there 
was much speculation on the nature, origin and character as each 
one came out of the coach. 

In the first years of Clinton’s existence, Indians would bring 
in their furs to exchange for goods. They would camp outside of 
the town for weeks. Many of the people could talk to them in 
their own language. 

Each summer the military organization, “The Independent 
Blues,” held a “muster” drill at Clinton. This was a red-letter 
day and there was a big barbecue under the huge trees around 
the courthouse followed by a ball that night in the Masonic Hall. 
Everything was decorated in patriotic colors, and the horses and 
carriages were looking their best as the officers marched up their

riflemen. The Cavalry rode in with the band playing and lined 
up for the General’s review of the troops. The riflemen marched 
and drilled, the cavalry put on their best show and as the exer¬ 
cises came to a close they fired their guns in a crashing volley, 
that the onlookers, and especially the children, would never for¬ 
get. 

No doubt the “muster” was held in honor of General La- 
Fayette and his party in 1825 when he made his noted visit, and 
speech from the courthouse steps. The old men who had been 
soldiers in the Revolutionary War still wore their hair done in 
a “que” and were very much respected by all. The people called 
these old men, “Father Morton,” “Father Roberts,” and “Fath¬ 
er Jones.” 

About once a year a circus came to Clinton, traveling in 
wagons with cages of monkeys and a tame bear. The tent was 
put up with a crowd of children looking on and squealing with 
delight at everything the animals did. The next day was filled 
with suppressed excitement as the circus people talked with the 
people and they would actually see a “foreigner,” and hear tales 
of other countries and the outside world. As the tickets were sold 
and the crowd gathered the famous clown, John Lylo, cut up 
capers and made jokes until everyone was in a festive mood. 
The little band played loudly as the horses cavorted around the 
dusty ring and the riders put on a good show. The trapeze troupe 
swung from the rings and then the bear was made to dance and 
do all of the stunts that he could. Our ancestors thought it all 
very fine and talked of it for months afterwards. 

Occasionally a traveling theater group came in and gave com¬ 
edies ,or a tragedy, with music and dancing in the town hall, 
which was the Masonic Building. They rigged up a stage at one 
end and gave performances for a week, then moved on. 

Other red-letter days were, the Bunkley trial, famous all over 
the world (given in another chapter), County Fairs held in the 
fall, lectures, all day dinners and preaching at the two churches, 
political speeches and picnics. Perhaps the day that was the 
best was the closing of Clinton’s Seminary for girls and the clos¬ 
ing of the boys’ school followed by a big dance at the tavern 


246 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


where the Virginia Reel, quadrilles and the stately minuet were 
danced by the belles and beaux. This was not only a countywide 
affair but at least a dozen counties were represented. 

There was much social life here at that time and now as 
you stand in the few homes left, and look at the lovely wind¬ 
ing stairs, the quaint wallpaper and the huge open fireplaces, 
you can visualize the gay parties, the family dinners and the 
fascinating history and romance of those days. These stand 
as silent tribute to those who have passed on and left a rich 
heritage to their descendants. 

Clinton 

A small village, called Albany in 1808, then in 1809 the name 
was changed to Clinton and it was incorporated in 1816. Named 
for Gov. DeWitt Clinton of New York, who figured prominently 
in politics at that time and who probably came to Clinton in 
company with Gen. LaFayette at the time of his well remem¬ 
bered visit there. It will ever remain Clinton as a wonderful 
memory in the minds and hearts of many who have lived there 
and whose descendants have become scattered all over these 
United States. To mention the name Clinton is to bring back 
enchantment, to recapture the spirit of the old South with its 
charming and gentle ways of living, and the lofty ideals of ante¬ 
bellum days. 

Unlike other small towns, Clinton did not grow in a haphaz¬ 
ard manner. The village was laid out in 1811 with a square upon 
which the courthouse was built (it being the county seat). The 
town grew up around it with the whole laid off in lots in a neat 
manner. Robert Hutchings and James Smith were selected to 
secure plans for the courthouse. The lot of land on which 
Clinton was built containing 202 acres was bought from Thos. 
Johnson by the Judges of the Inferior Court and the sale of lots 
paid for the courthouse. 

On Jan. 15, 1811, Robert Hutchings purchased from the 
Judges of the Inferior Court, for $164.00, one-half of lot No. 
25, “lying lengthwise on Washington Street and endwise on 
Pulaski Street as to the end joining the Public Square in the 
town of Clinton.” 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


247 


The contractors who built the courthouse were called “under¬ 
takers.” Business and residence lots were laid off and some of 
the streets were named, Pinckney, Pulaski, Madison, Randolph, 
Washington, Jackson, Walnut, Jefferson, Liberty, Hawkins (Pu¬ 
laski Street was the Milldegeville Road). Around the courthouse 
square on the four streets which faced it were dwellings, stores 
and places of business. There were three large taverns, a hotel, 
cotton warehouses, a photograph gallery, churches, schools, 
many stables as well as shops of locksmiths, silversmiths, black¬ 
smiths, stores and bars. The general merchandise store of 
Winship and Hutchings was opposite the entrance to the court¬ 
house. There was a large three-story building facing the west 
corner of the square. The lower rooms were used for stores, the 
middle story for family living rooms and the third floor was a 
Masonic Lodge Hall. On another corner was Mrs. Gibson’s 
tavern, where Dr. James Barron afterwards lived so long, and 
which he called “The Castle.” 

Mrs. Elizabeth Slatter Lowther built a beautiful home which 
has since burned. She was a woman of wonderful energy and 
business acumen. The home was known as “Lowther Hall.” 

Other prominent residents of those early days were, Col. 
R. V. Hardeman, James H. Blount who served for twenty years 
as U. S. Congressman; Col. Isaac Hardeman, who went as 1st 
Sgt. of the Jones County Volunteers to Richmond, Va. and was 
placed in the 12th Ga. Regiment. He served throughout the 
Civil War and came home a Colonel. Sylvanaus Hitch lived on 
the hill going toward Gray, but moved to South Georgia. Major 
Williams lived there before he moved to Baker County. He had 
two sons, J. H. and W. W. Williams who later moved to Macon 
and had a jewelry store. He was a progressive and popular 
citizen and was prominent in Baker County. 

Clinton was noted for the fun and practical jokes played by 
its young men, so much so that the answer; “I’ve been to Clin¬ 
ton,” was all that was necessary to explain any unusual appear¬ 
ance of animal or person, having recently come from its direc- 
tion. 

A temperance lecturer drove from Madison to Clinton with 
horse and buggy and put up at Mrs. Gibson’s tavern and stable. 


248 


HISTORY OF JOftES COUNTY 


While delivering his lecture at the church in the evening, mis¬ 
chievous and fun-loving boys of the town were in the stables 
painting stripes on the horse like a zebra. The man was very 
angry the next morning when his buggy was brought around for 
him to leave, and he discovered the zebra-striped horse. Of 
course no one knew anything about it, and he had to leave as it 
was. When several miles out on his return road, he met a man 
who in his surprise at seeing a zebra hitched to a buggy, said, 
‘‘Mister, what is the matter with your horse”? “Been to Clin¬ 
ton,” was the reply, with flick of a whip on his horse. 

Stephen Clower was fond of display, and being wealthy, pur¬ 
chased one of the finest carriages, to which he drove four horses. 
He had a negro coachman and footman. This carriage was 
mounted with silver and furnished with fine brocaded silk inside. 
Its body was swung high on great leather straps which served for 
springs, and had folding steps which were let down in order to 
get into it. 

Taylor Gibson, whose wife had been the widow, Sarah Greaves 
Chiles, was also a citizen and had a lovely family. The home 
of Richard Hutchings on Madison St. was a two-story frame 
structure with which columns that extended up two stories to 
support the porch roof. The stoop was gained by a few steps of 
solid stone, with a foot-scraper on each end. Solid wooden built- 
in benches with high backs flanked the stoop, and there was be¬ 
neath the roof a second-story balcony. An old-fashioned brass 
door knocker of a shell design with hands clasped in friendship, 
was on the door. 

Clinton did not escape the ravages of war, though it was a 
long distance from a railroad it was in the middle of a prosper¬ 
ous farming district and was visited by many raiding parties 
from Sherman’s Army, seizing food, stock, valuables and burn¬ 
ing. Wheeler’s Cavalry Brigade was doing as much as a small 
force could to oppose and harass them. 

This account of Stoneman’s visit is a reprint from the county 
news: 

“Deposition of William Wiley Barron given at his home in 
Clinton, Georgia on August 5, 1930. “I, William Wiley Barron 
was Sheriff and Tax Collector of Jones County from 1887 to 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


249 


1892, Clerk of the Court from 1893 to 1905. I was born Feb. 
6, 1857 in Clinton. My father was Dr. James F. Barron, who 
married Joannah Shropshire in Jasper County in 1852. My old¬ 
est brother, James H. Barron was born in Jasper County in 
1854. Father moved to Clinton bought the large white house on 
the east corner of Macon and Monticello road, originally known 
as Gibson’s Tavern or Hotel. Gibson sold it to Ben Mason, 
and he sold it to father. I was born in that house, also my broth¬ 
ers Robert Benjamin a doctor in Macon, Jackson Clay Barron, 
lawyer, Abbington Bonaparte LaFayette Barron and my sister 
Sallie (Mrs. Ellis). 

“I went to school first to Z. D. Harrison at the Academy 
above the spring during the war. In school were my brothers 
James H. and R. H. Bonner. The first Company that left Jones 
County in 1861 was Co. B, 12th Ga. Reg. under Capt. Peyton 
Pitts. They were mustered in here in Clinton and camped around 
the Clinton Methodist church, before the grounds were filled 
with graves. Caot. Pitts was an old man and soon retired from 
the army, and Isaac Hardeman, a lawyer here in Clinton was 
elected Capt. of Co. B, and later became a Colonel. I remember 
that Jim and I went over to the camp. 

“I well remember when Gen. Stoneman came through. It was 
on Friday at dinner and we were all eating. Some of our sol¬ 
diers came down the Hillsboro road by our house and shouted, 
‘The Yankees are coming’! and dashed on towards Macon. The 
ones I remember were Bill Morton, Sam Barron, and Capt. 
Roland T. Ross. General Stoneman stopped at our house and 
asked father about getting to Macon. Father told him there 
wasn’t any bridge over the Ocmulgee river, that he would have 
to cross on a flat. Stoneman was a fine looking man, he was very 
tall with broad shoulders and wearing a tremendous black hat. 
The Yankee soldiers began coming up in large numbers, so moth¬ 
er said to Jim and me, ‘Run over to Aunt Nancy’s,’ and she sent 
a colored boy with us. Aunt Nancy Morrow was a Barron, 
father’s aunt, and she lived in a large two-story house called the 
Hitch house up on the hill above the Love Place on the Milledge- 
ville road. We stayed all afternoon until mother sent for us. 
While we were there about fifteen or twenty Yankee soldiers 


250 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


came and asked uncle James for his watch and money. Aunt 
Nancy had sent her silver off by a negro to the dense woods 
back of her house. Uncle could not understand the soldiers who 
were foreigners. They thought he was pretending and threatened 
to shoot him. 

“That was on Friday afternoon late in July, 1864. On Saturday 
afternoon a scouting party of Gen. Iverson’s forces went up the 
Hillsboro road and kept straight down the Lite-and-Tie road past 
the Lowther place. Going north the road was called the Hillsboro 
or Monticello road but going south from Clinton it was called 
the Gordon and Lite-and-Tie road. Soon the Confederates came 
dashing back up the road with the Yankees behind them and 
bullets flying everywhere. As Stoneman’s men were firing on the 
scouting party they would turn in their saddles and fire back as 
they kept on toward Gen. Iverson’s camp. The Yankees had been 
defeated at Macon and were retreating on Saturday afternoon 
when they met the scouting party below Clinton. In pursuing the 
scouting party through Clinton, they passed on and met General 
Iverson’s forces Saturday night near Sunshine Church, near 
Round Oak. The next day, Sunday, General Stoneman was 
captured. Monday morning, August 1, 1864 suddenly soldiers 
began pouring into Clinton, Yankees and Confederates. I went 
out on the porth with father and Gen. Stoneman rode up. He 
said, ‘Doctor, what you told me was true. The bridge was gone.’ 
Father offered him refreshments but he would not go in, so 
mother sent a glass of buttermilk out to him. The captured 
Yankees and the Confederates returned to Macon right through 
Clinton past the courthouse square. 

“In November, 1864, the Yankees again came to Clinton. Gen. 
Sherman himself did not show himself in Clinton. The Yankees 
were under Gen. Kilpatrick. He had his headquarters right next 
to us in Richard Hutchings’ house, the old Jonathan Parrish 
place. Mrs. Hutchings was Cornelia Greaves, Henry Greaves’ 
sister. Soldiers were all over town. Passing constantly down the 
road by our house, going through Clinton toward Griswoldville 
and Macon. I sat on the gatepost and watched them pass and 
one soldier pinched my ear. Gen. Kilpatrick gave each house a

guard, but all the supplies were taken. All we had left was a jar 
of lard which mother had hidden under the bed.” 

W. W. Barron—August 5, 1930, 
Jones County News. 

In the old days Christmas was the gala holiday of the year. 
It was the time when the accounts were settled and money was 
in circulation. Cotton, the principal cash crop was marketed in 
the fall and goods and supplies were sold by the merchants on 
credit and the accounts were settled up at that time. In anticipa¬ 
tion of the holiday the stores were stocked with goods suitable 
for presents, and such luxuries as, oranges, English walnuts, 
Brazil nuts, Malaga grapes and raisins, not on sale at any other 
time of the year. Best grades of wine, imported, rum and 
brandies helped to add cheer to the Christmas dinner. On the 
plantations vast preparations were started weeks in advance. 
Quantities of mincemeat for pies were prepared, fruitcakes, and 
pens of turkeys and geese cooped up to fatten. Hog killing time 
usually occurred the first part of December and spareribs, hams, 
fresh and smoked sausages in long chains of links, were plenti¬ 
ful. There were pans of fresh brown cracklings and shortening 
bread. Eggs had been saved and kept cool. A huge farm wagon 
made a trip to town and returned with mysterious boxes, bales 
and packages, which were unloaded into a locked storeroom 
and no one but the mistress could go in. Extra logs of wood for 
the big fireplaces was stacked in the back yard, for Christmas 
fires. Evergreens and holly boughs were used to decorate the 
house. 

Everyone to the smallest pickaninny was on the qui vive for 
the day to come. When the first streaks of dawn appeared in the 
east, an onlooker might have thought a riot was being staged. 
The negroes old and young crowded to the back door, the old 
ones with their sticks and the young ones hopping up and down 
in excitement. The first to arrive pounded on the door shouting, 
“Christmas gift!” There was no denying them, they did not have 
to wait as the cook and help were in the dining room with huge 
bowls of hot whiskey punch, enough for everyone to have a cup¬ 
ful. The children were given peppermint candy. 


252 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


They went into the house for their presents, and one would 
hear the older negroes say, “Git back thar chile, whar you be¬ 
longs, ain’t you got no manners?” Each one got their refresh¬ 
ments, and packages with their names on them and as they 
passed out they would curtsey and thank the master for them. 

After this the houseman would prepare a big bowl of eggnog, 
a ceremonial rite, without which it would not be Christmas. This 
nog contained no milk. This heathen practice might be com¬ 
mitted in other places but not in Georgia. The master would 
have hung his head in shame if it had been necessary to eke out 
the quantity by diluting it with milk. Never! He would as soon 
tolerate the mint being bruised in his julep as to allow anything 
in his eggnog but well beaten eggs, sugar and whiskey or brandy, 
mixed with rum and he ate it from a spoon of silver as a gentle¬ 
man should. 

As soon as breakfast was over the house was quickly put in 
order, the fires mended to glow brightly in every downstairs 
room. More punch was concocted and fresh eggnog made for 
guests were expected and healths must be quaffed appropriately. 
This is one recipe the oldtimers used, for eggnog. Into an earth¬ 
en bowl place the yolks of six eggs. Add six level tablespoons of 
granulated sugar and stir with a silver spoon until the sugar is 
thoroughly dissolved and smooth. Add six or seven tablespoons 
of whiskey or half rum and half brandy. Stir well. With a silver 
fork whip the egg whites stiff, fold in gently the yolks, sugar and 
whiskey mixture but do not agitate more than necessary for 
thorough blending. Serve in a silver cup or glass goblet with a 
silver spoon. The recipe serves four. 

Another great dessert was sillybub in those days. It is a drink 
much esteemed in ancient England. According to Halliwell the 
name was originally sillibouke; its derivation being silly (i.e. 
happy or jolly) and bouk (belly). It was originally made there 
by mixing ale with cream and milk but in later years wine took 
the place of ale. Southerners had a sillybub churn or it was 
whipped until stiff. 

When the little old Indian fort, Hawkins, on the Ocmulgee 
river came to be abandoned, the town of Macon began to grow 
and in a few years drew heavily upon Jones County for its citi- 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


253 


zenry. Many of Clinton’s finest citizens moved to Macon, Clin¬ 
ton, because of no railroad, and war destruction, the need of 
transportation, schools, colleges, and business opportunities soon 
the town became the deserted village. 

The Macon Telegraph of August 25, 1935 in a feature article 
says: “Further loss to Clinton came when the Athens branch of 
the Central of Ga. Railroad ran two miles away and a small 
station known as Gray began to grow. In 1905 it was voted to 
moved the county seat to Gray and a new courthouse was built 
there. Unfortunately the old courthouse at Clinton was allowed 
to fall down and the room where Benjamin H. Hill, Aleck 
Stephens, L. C. Q. Lamar and Robert Toombs had practiced 
law are gone forever. The boulders however which made the 
county jail 1843 were removed to build the retaining wall around 
the courthouse at Gray. Jake Huchings’, negro, helped build the 
jail in Clinton and it was built so well, it was a hard job to tear 
it down. 

“Clinton became a town with a past and only a place of remi¬ 
niscences. I shall never forget the smell of the boxwood borders, 
the roses, tea olives, rosemary, heliotrope, lavender, and jas¬ 
mine and other fragrances mingled with it. Clinton enjoyed an 
ideal village life before the war, a place of culture and refine¬ 
ment.” 

The impress of the distinguished people who settled and 
reared their children there, is left upon their descendants. There 
are many who still cherish its associations and traditions. 

Quoted from the book written by Dr. Richard Henry Hutch¬ 
ings, “An Intimate Family History” 1937. 

DeWitt Clinton 

The fact that the county site of Jones County’s name was 
changed from Albany to Clinton after only two years of existence 
makes for interest in the name of Clinton. Albany was changed 
to Clinton in 1809 for that distinguished gentleman, DeWitt 
Clinton of New York, who was an outstanding Mason, and who 
rendered invaluable services to his city, state and nation. 

DeWitt Clinton was born in 1769 and graduated from King’s 
College (now Columbia University) in 1878 at the age of eight¬ 
een. His rise to fame was meteoric. He was elected to the legis- 


254 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


lature in 1797, to the U. S. Senate in 1801, and Mayor of New 
York in 1803-1814. It was while he was mayor that he was in¬ 
strumental in founding the public schools for the whole state, 
instead of only New York City. He had a bill introduced in the 
legislature asking for state aid and it was voted to give $12,000 
immediately. From this came the millions now used to run the 
complicated school system of New York. 

He was Grand Master of Masons in New York from 1806 
to 1820, and Grand High Priest of the Grand Chapter of New 
York from 1816-1826. He was Thrice Illustrious Grand Master 
of the Grand Encampment of Knights Templar of the U.S.A. 

In 1817, Clinton was Governor of New York, and then he 
urged upon the Legislature that they authorize the construction 
of the Erie Canal. The bill was passed, and in 1825, Clinton 
was transported on a barge through the Erie Canal and was 
given a great ovation all along the way. He was re-elected Gov¬ 
ernor in 1826 and died Feb. 11, 1828. 

Masonry had a conspicuous and important role in furthering 
our various public school systems. Washington, a Master Mason 
founded in Alexandria one of Virginia’s first free schools. Jeffer¬ 
son was the founder of Virginia’s Free Public School System, 
Benjamin Franklin, a Master Mason, founded the first Free 
Public School in Philadelphia, Pa. 

And so, DeWitt Clinton played his role as a leader with 
courage and ability just at the time when Jones County was 
formed, and no doubt the founding fathers of this town, set a 
shining example, when they decided to name their growing village 
for such a man as DeWitt Clinton of New York. 

Copied from original manuscript in Ordinary’s Office Jones 
County Incorporation of Clinton by Neddy Pennington—1816. 

“The Corporation of the town of Clinton called upon their 
Marshal, Neddy Pennington, to pay over the first money he had 
collected from the inhabitants of the corporation it conceiving it 
had a right to do so inasmuch as they have the power to charge 
taxes and collect fines from the inhabitants of said corporation 
by a charter from the legislature of the state; in pursuance of 
that charter they enacted by laws for the regulation of the town 
of Clinton among which they payed one subjecting to a fine of

one dollar any person living in the corporation who neglected to 
work on the public streets of said town that they had passed a 
law ordering the marshal to pay over all taxes and fines collected 
by him to the Treasurer of the corporation all which will appear 
by an exhibit herewith filed. And the said marshal in violation 
of the ordinances before stated collected the fines from the in¬ 
habitants of said corporation and paid them over to the Com¬ 
missioners of roads. 

U I certify that this is a correct statement of fact in the above 
case given under my hand and - - - there being no seal of office—”

Blountsville 

Blountsville is in Pope’s District and Military District No. 
358 and was named for the James Blount family of N. C., Geor¬ 
gia and Jones County. Blountsville, a stage coach station and a 
post office was a flourishing center of cultural and educational 
training before the War Between the States. The old Blountsville 
Academy was chartered in 1834 with Allen Drury, William E. 
Ethridge, John W. Stokes, Francis Tufts and John W. Gordon 
as trustees. 

Blountsville is situated at a junction of roads from Clinton 
to Eatonton, and from Milledgeville to Monticello, it is ten 
miles from Clinton and sixteen and one-half miles from Mil¬ 
ledgeville. From Milledgeville to Monticello are two roads the 
one by way of Blountsville is best for it crosses no large water¬ 
courses. The other goes by way of Low’s Mill on Cedar Creek 
and Half Acre. 

This village at the junction of two stagecoach routes, had a 
buggy, carriage, and wagon shop, a wagon factory, stores, and 
an outstanding Academy. This village was the center of a wealthy 
and aristocratic citizenry. Some of the families who lived here 
were: Blounts, Tufts, Milners, Dumas, Miller, McCullough, 
Hurt, Clark, Williams, Drury, Gordon, Ethridge, Farrars, and 
Smiths. 

Rev. Benjamin Milner, son of John Milner of North Caro¬ 
lina was one of the early Baptist preachers of the County. His 
daughter, Mary Parks Milner married Major John Francis 


256 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Tufts. She gave the land for the Baptist church, and shared most 
of the expense of building it, donating a large Bible for the pul¬ 
pit. Some of these Milners settled at Milner, Georgia which is 
named for them. 

Charles Gatchet lived near Blountsville before going to 
Barnesville. Papers show that—Grant No. 1— 130 acres in 
Baldwin County was surveyed for Charles Gatchet July 3, 1805. 
Grant No. 2, surveyed July 23, 1805. Grant No. 4, 184A. 
Baldwin County, surveyed July 23, 1805. Grant No. 209, sur¬ 
veyed March 4, 1807. Grant 224 surveyed June 20, 1807. These 
two signed by Jared Irwin. 

June 5, 1809 bought of Jonathan Thomas July 1808 by Chas. 
Gatchet land in Baldwin County Sept. 3, 1830 Chas. Gatchet 
sold land to Wyatt Ford. The old plats of these land grants 
showing boundaries and corners marked by a pine, oak or sassa¬ 
fras, the Indian boundary, and “Old Path,” are very interesting. 
Blountsville was one of the most wealthy and aristocratic vil¬ 
lages in Jones County. Charles Gatchet had a home there. 

Thomas Bog Slade, Baptist minister, and head of the Clinton 
Female Seminary and later teacher at Wesleyan married Miss 
Ann Blount of Blountsville. The late Miss Alice McCullough 
of Round Oak, whose family lived in Blountsville said that the 
married daughter of the Slades came to visit the Blounts here, 
and their only child, a little girl became ill and died; she was 
buried in the flower garden back of the house. The little marble 
slab may still be found in the tall shrubs and bushes of the once 
beautiful gardens. 

There was an old tavern, a large two-story building with an 
outside stair to the upper story where the men travelers stayed. 
This had no connection with the lower floor where the ladies 
stayed. The building stood on high granite pillars with a retain¬ 
ing wall of granite slabs. In the yard was an old well sweep. 

Strange to say that at this writing there is not a vestige of the 
once flourishing village, only a nice State historic marker shows 
where the town was.

Bradley 

When the Central of Georgia railroad came through what is 
now the town of Bradley, August 9, 1886, there was only a pine 
thicket. Just beyond the station to the northeast was a rather 
thickly settled community, among whom were: John Bradley, 
John Wiley Bradley, T. F. Bradley, W. H. Mulligan and J. j. 
Glawson. This community was named Franks for the grand¬ 
father of John Wiley Bradley. Wiley Franks was the largest 
land owner in this section and it is said here that he was one of 
the signers of the Ordinance of Secession. He died in 1865. 
From Wiley Franks descended the Bradleys, the Barnes and the 
Mulligans. These three having married his daughters. John W. 
Bradley and Allen Wheeler gave the right of way for the rail¬ 
road, they and their families were given passes on the trains. 
Mr. Bradley became the first depot agent, later Joe Burney was 
the depot agent for many years. The first store was built and 
operated by J. W. Bradley. This building was later converted 
into a dwelling and is now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Claude 
Glawson and family. Other early merchants were M. H. Mulli¬ 
gan, G. W. Gordon, A. L. Harris and Warren Winters. Dr. B. 
I. O’Kelly was the first physician in Bradley. 

The first school was a one room house near the home of J. J. 
Glawson which also served as a meeting house. Later J. W. 
Bradley gave the land for a church and school at the station. 
The deed of land was given for the church on July 16, 1897 and 
the church completed in the early spring of 1898. John Bradley 
father of J. W. Bradley was one of the largest contributors. He 
gave the building and wrote the data which was placed in the 
cornerstone. 

The school was built on adjoining property and school began 
there in the fall of 1906. At one time it was one of the largest 
schools in the county from the standpoint of pupils and teachers, 
and boasted a high school as well as a grammar school. The 
early teachers here were: Miss Alice Taylor, Miss Josie Baxley, 
Miss Sallie Slocumb (Mrs. Ben Winters), Mr. and Mrs. Asbury 
Greene, Frank Greene who later became one of the three state 
supervisors of education, Miss Mattie Middlebrooks, Miss 
Mary Jo Barron and Miss Frances Solomon. In 1929 this school 


258 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


was consolidated with Gray and the building torn down and 
moved to Gray where it was made into a gymnasium. The prop¬ 
erty was given to the church, Nov. 4, 1930. 

When J. W. Bradley founded the town, he had the land sur¬ 
veyed and off into lots a plat which may be found in the 
county courthouse. The Bank of Bradley was established in 
1920. This bank closed during the depression of 1929 when the 
Fourth National Bank in Macon closed. Bradley has had spurts 
of industrial growth. First were the cotton gins, which did a 
thriving business when cotton was king. The Bradley Gin and 
Milling Co. flourished for a number of years. Then came the 
peach industry, and Bradley became one of the largest shipping 
points for peaches not only in the county but in this section of 
the state. Refrigerator cars were lined on the sidetracks as far 
as the eye could see. Often thirty cars were packed and shipped 
in one day. Among the largest growers and packers were: S. B. 
Hungerford, R. L. Bradley, W. W. Barron, Sr., J. J. Barron, 
A. L. Harris, G. B. Slocumb, B. F. Winters, W. D. Winters, J. 
J. Glawson, J. E. Glawson, T. F Bradley, S. H. Thornton, H. L. 
Wheeler and J. J. Mercer. 

A more recent industry was the Cherokee Products Co. a can¬ 
ning plant operated at Bradley by the Bloodworth Brothers 
until it was moved to Haddock. Bradley can boast of the first 
and largest Jones County Fair ever held. The exhibits from this 
fair were carried to Macon and displayed at the State Fair. It 
had the largest horse race track and some fine horses. This track 
was owned by John Bradley, father of the founder.

Fortville 

Among the old landmarks of Jones County is the “Old Fort,” 
sometimes called “The Fortification,” the site of an early Indian 
trading post or fort. Now referred to locally as Fortville, it is 
located in Pope’s District, Military District No. 358. It was 
located at the crossing of the upper stage road from Milledge- 
ville to Macon by Clinton and on the Garrison Road to Blounts- 
ville and Eatonton. It was also the crossing of two old Indian 
trails between Ocmulgee and Oconee Towns on to Eagle Rock in 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


259 


Putnam, “Choctaw Trail.” At intervals through this section and 
up near Cedar Creek were large Indian mounds said to have 
been built for giving signals. Now demolished through years of 
cultivation of the land, traces of these mounds are still distin¬ 
guished. Arrowheads abound in this vicinity. A fine spring in a 
sheltered spot at the foot of a steep dropoff of thirty or more 
feet near one mound made it an ideal spot for an Indian camp 
or village. 

An act incorporating Fortville Academy was passed on Dec. 
9, 1822. The trustees were: Robert Hutchings, Chr., John W. 
Gordon, Thomas Jefferson, William Harris, and Robert Brown. 
Children were taught here before the day of free public schools. 
Almost opposite the Indian mounds a Methodist church was es¬ 
tablished in 1832 on land given by John W. Gordon. For many 
years this church was the largest and most progressive rural 
church in middle Georgia. In 1879 the old church was torn down 
and replaced by a comfortable chapel, later moved to Haddock. 
Trustees of the church property as named in the deed made 
Sept. 2, 1879 (Deed Book U, page 50), were: B. F. Ross, W. 
A. Chambers, John R. Bonner, James Finney, J. L. White, James 
D. Godard and John S. Lewis. 

Some of the settlers here were the following families: Hutch¬ 
ings, Pratt, Singleton, Brown, Lester, Moughon, Stewart, Pitts, 
Davis, Mercer, Gordon, Catching, Morris, Low, Lamar, Jar- 
rett, Blandford, Wright, Tufts, Woodall, Bonner, Moore, Mil¬ 
ler, Barfield, Bullington, Roberts, Godard, Blow, Holt, Wright, 
Clark, Masterson and Smith. 

When Sherman’s forces marched from Round Oak to Mil- 
ledgeville, they stopped at Blountsville and divided into two 
groups, sending one by Fortville where they camped in the yard 
of the Robert Hutchings’ home and foraged on the land. Several 
hundred bales of cotton were burned that night. Mr. Hutchings 
was owner of the local store, which housed the post office and the 
stagecoach station. 

Robert Hutchings’ son became the noted mental specialist of 
Ogdensburg, N. Y. Judge LeRoy Singleton married Ellen Hutch¬ 
ings, daughter of Robert Hutchings and lived in the beautiful 
old Hutchings home near the Moughon place. Judge Singleton 


260 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


had a daughter Harriett by a former marriage who married 
Thomas Morris and is the grandmother of Hon. Carl Vinson, 
M.C. from the 6th District who is affectionately referred to by 
his associates as, “The Admiral.’’ 

Dr. Francis Ticknor, father of Francis Orray Ticknor, author 
of “Little Giffen of Tennessee,” lived near Fortville. 

Daniel Pratt the famous architect, married Miss Esther Tick¬ 
nor, the sister of Dr. Francis Ticknor while he was living in 
Fortville, which was his residence for twelve years. Pratt came to 
Milledgeville in 1821, built Lowther Hall in Clinton in 1822, 
the John W. Gordon house near Haddock in 1824-28 (known 
as the Bowen-Blount house), and Westover near Milledgeville 
for Benj. S. Jordan around 1830. He bought John W. Gordon’s 
home site in Fortville in 1825 and sold it to Thomas Moughon 
in 1828. Thos. Moughon was a cousin of Benj. S. Jordan and 
John W. Gordon and the three vied with each other in building 
their stately homes. 

In 1885 there were five nice homes still standing in Fortville, 
where today there is little to remind one of its splendid pros¬ 
perity of a bygone century, and unless posterity is careful to 
preserve records and mark locations, the historic places will not 

even be a memory. 0 T . A/r

East Juliette ( Glovers ) 

The topography of the land in the section of East Juliette is 
hilly and rolling. In about 1825 when the Creek Indians were 
pushed across the Ocmulgee river, white settlers moved in where 
the famous Indian trail “Horse-Path” crossed, some settling on 
the east side in Jones County, and some on the west side in Mon¬ 
roe County. For many years a ferry was used to cross this river, 
until a toll bridge was built. 

It is said that Mike Dennis erected the first gristmill at Juli¬ 
ette. 

East Juliette, located on the Ocmulgee river, in northwestern 
corner of Jones County was first called Glover’s Mill, until 
about 1925 when the post offices of Juliette on the west side of 
the river in Monroe county and Glover’s Mill on the west were 
consolidated. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


261 


It was when the Southern railroad was built that the little 
settlement became known as Juliette, and tradition says that the 
name was in honor of the first white woman to cross the river 
to make her home on the west side. Another story states that 
someone suggested that the two settlements, one on the east side 
and one on the west side be known as Romeo and Juliette. 

In 1872 Nathaniel Glover bought a mill from West Smith, a 
native, and builder of the mill. Glover set up a sawmill and cut 
lumber to build a store. Later he cut, molded and burned the 
brick with which to build the factory. In 1898 a log dam was 
constructed on the river to furnish power with which to run the 
textile mill and a gin. 

After Nat Glover’s death his two sons came into possession of 
the property. These sons were Jack and Dr. W. P. Glover. Jack 
was drowned and Dr. W. P. Glover became owner and con¬ 
trolled the entire estate. Dr. Glover gave up his practice to su¬ 
pervise the mill, which was more profitable. He was a shrewd 
businessman and accumulated a fortune, however he was out¬ 
witted by a business deal and lost controlling interest of the 
businesses. He sold out and the mill fell into other hands. 

In 1898 a church was organized and a building erected to 
serve as a meetinghouse and a schoolhouse. It was thus used 
until 1915 or 1916 when it burned. Then a separate school, 
credited to John N. Birch of the Juliette Milling Co. was built, 
and playground equipment installed. J. Neville Birch followed 
in the footsteps of his father, by helping in the making of a new 
school in 1939. Across from the old school, an interdenomina¬ 
tional church was built by the Juliette Milling Co. It is used 
mostly by the Missionary Baptists and the Primitive Baptists, but 
at times it has been used by the other denominations. Rev. Min- 
ter served the church for 20 years. Elder E. J. Maddox of 
Chester served as a Primitive Baptist preacher for 18 years. 

The population of East Juliette is about 400. On the west 
side of the river in Monroe county, about 250. 

Juliette Milling Company makes cotton yarns, has 185 em¬ 
ployees, 10% negroes, 8,400 spindles, works up about one bale 
of cotton per hour.

This has been a rather isolated community, but now has two 
paved roads leading out and is easily accessible.

James 

In the lower part of Jones County, six miles south of Gray, 
on the line between Davidson and Burden’s Districts, on the 
Georgia railroad between Macon and Camak is James, Ga., 
Jones County. The population has never exceeded about 140 and 
most of the residents are related. 

James’ first inhabitants were the Indians of the Creek tribe. 
Many Indian relics, such as arrowheads, bits of pottery and 
beads attest to the fact that Indians were here and the Indian 
trail came through this place before the white men came, and 
was used as a road, later. 

A fork off the Garrison Road leads from a mile southeast of 
Cumslo and a mile and a half southwest of James crossed the 
Ocmulgee at Tarver’s Site according to an early map, this In¬ 
dian Trail was called “Tusco-Meco Path.” 

The old Clinton and Gordon road crossed what is now the 
Georgia railroad about 150 yards to the north of the present 
crossing of the railroad and followed its present route, except 
at Morton’s it made a direct line to Clinton, a road which is 
nonexistent today. 

James was founded after the Georgia railroad came through. 
This railroad was in process of construction for many years, 
from prior to the Civil War until its completion in 1871. Tom 
Woolfolk, Sr., owned all of this land and the first flagstop was 
called Woolfork. 

Lemuel James was engaged in bridge construction for this 
railroad, bought some of this Woolfolk land and he and his wife 
Mary E. Chadwick built a home here. Soon a post office was 
built, a depot and telegraph office. The railroad officials named 
the place James, for Lemuel Photo James, Sr. There were many 
large plantations here and farmers came here to trade. Mr. 
Duffy was the Postmaster and storekeeper. There was a gin 
house and gristmill and a turntable beside the tracks for the 
engines to turn on. Lemuel James gave land for a school and a 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


263 


colored church. Elam church had been established many years 
before this and most of the people worshipped there, although 
some went to Salem and Pitts Chapel. Lemuel James later built 
a large eleven-room house in an oak grove which is still stand¬ 
ing. After his death Lemuel James, Jr. owned this, was as public- 
spirited as his father, represented his county, helped obtain elec¬ 
tricity for it and was made State Director of Department of 
Labor. He was Pres, of James Lumber Co. at Haddock at his 
death. 

Other families at James were: T. W. Duffy moved from 
Clinton to James in 1884, Judge Peyton Pitts in 1885 built a 
home here, R. H. Kingman, Sr. built here in 1890 and was a 
peach grower, planter and a Christian, died in 1935. R. H. King- 
man, Jr. was later the leading merchant here. In 1927 J. C. 
Balkcom bought this store. Dr. O. C. Gibson and family were 
residents of James from 1890 to 1901. This home was later 
bought by Mrs. C. M. Ethridge and a daughter, Mrs. N. E. 
Valentine later lived here, as the Gibsons moved to Macon. 
J. C. Balkcom, Jr. now owns the store his father ran, and an¬ 
other family of Mitchells lived here. 

The old church called Elam was built in 1810 and is the 
historic church of this vicinity (see picture under churches). At 
first this was a Primitive Baptist, but when a church schism arose 
later, it was changed to a Missionary Baptist church. 

The first money order written in Jones County was written 
in James, Ga., and the first telegraph instrument put into use in 
Jones County was located here. The school built here in 1884 
on land donated by L. P. James was burned. 

There are only two people living here from a large family of 
James by that name, Misses Hattie and Alice James, daughters 
of Frank James. Although James never grew in size, the spirit 
of the first settlers remain. 

Gray 

Congressman James H. Blount once owned the site on which 
Gray now stands, and the name of Dollytown was suggested 
for the new village. Congressman Blount’s home stood where 
Judge Holmes Johnson’s old home is now. The survey you see

Map of Blountston later Gray, Georgia. Made in 1886 . 
in the book is dated Nov. 26, 1886 and the lots and streets are 
laid off as drawn by J. C. Wheeler and the name Blountston is 
used. He stated that the town was on the Macon and Covington 
railroad eighteen miles from Macon. 

On Feb. 16, 1900 the Ordinary of Jones County ordered an 
election to be held on April 4, 1900 to vote on the removal of 
the county site from Clinton to Gray. In obedience to the said 
order the election was held with these results: For removal 359 





HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


265 


as against removal 361 (minutes of Jones County Court of Ordi¬ 
nary 1891-1900 pp. 231-238). 

Another election was held on June 27, 1905, with the follow¬ 
ing results: For removal 1289, against 51. (Min. of Ordinary 
1901-1908.) 

The legislature then passed a bill authorizing the removal of 
the county site from Clinton to Gray, which was duly signed by 
the Governor on August 9, 1905. (Ga. Laws 1905 pp. 118-119.) 
On August the 2nd, 1905 the county of Jones purchased from 
the Land and Improvement Co. all of lots three and four with a 
ten-foot alley between said lots in block 23 of the village of 
Gray. This appears on the Anderson Survey which is recorded 
in Book Z p. 434 of Jones County Superior Court. The said land 
contained about one and one-half acres and is bounded as follows: 
on the north by Clinton Ave., and for a few feet by Ross Street, 
on the east by Jefferson St. and on the south by a ten-foot alley 
running through said block from Jefferson to Cleveland St. and 
on the west by Cleveland St. (Deed Book Z p. 318.) 

On July 25, 1905 the contract for the jail and courthouse was 
let to the Atlanta Fireproofing Co. for $35,000.00 (Min. Jones 
County Court 1892, p. 129). The County Commissioners were: 
John T. Glover, J. H. C. Ethridge and J. H. Meeks. The archi¬ 
tects were J. W. Golucke and L. J. Isbel, General Manager of 
the said Co. in Atlanta, Ga. 

There were several homes already in Gray, most of them 
formerly residents of Clinton. New homes were going up and 
on Dec. 6, 1906, Rev. D. B. Cantrell got the Methodists inter¬ 
ested in building a “meeting house.” Early in 1908 the work 
began and on Easter Sunday the church was dedicated. Dr. J. E. 
Dickey preached the dedicatory sermon. This church was de¬ 
stroyed by fire Jan. 3, 1915 and a new one started August 15, 
191 5. 

The Baptist church was started in 1905 and finished on March 
24, 1907. The first service was conducted by Rev. J. E. Cargyle 
of Macon. The presbytery was composed of Rev. E. W. Sam¬ 
mons, C. S. McCarthy and R. W. Thoit. This church burned 
later and the present handsome structure was built. 

Ordinary of the Court, Roland Ross suggested naming the 
town Gray in honor of James Madison Gray who was for a long 


266 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


time the outstanding citizen and a leader in Jones County. The 
said James Madison Gray had left a considerable sum to Mercer 
for the education of boys of Jones County. The name of Gray 
was thus given to the town which became the County site later 
and is today. Located near the center of the County in G.M.D. 
450 Clinton District. The elevation is 605 feet and the eastern 
part of the town lies in Davidson’s District. 

Early citizens of Gray were the Mortons, Stewarts, Comers, 
Bonners, Greens, Turners, Ethridges, Johnsons, Godards, Pat¬ 
tersons, Braggs, Morgans, Blounts and Roberts. 

The first school was a small wooden building built in 1897. 
Several schools have been built since then and the present mod¬ 
ern school plant was begun in 1936 and has been expanded to 
its present size. Grammar school and gymnasium 1929, Voca¬ 
tional building 1955. 

Present population of Gray is 1,000. 

The Mayors of Gray have been the following: J. M. Childs, 
George Wallace, J. L. Mercer, R. L. Turk, Ard Pulliam, M. L. 
Greene, W. E. Knox. 

Highways Nos. 129, 11, 22, 44 pass through Gray. Macon is 
only twelve miles away and many people live at Gray and work 
in Macon. A new subdivision has been opened by Charles H. 
Washburn, Sr. and the lots are rapidly being filled with new 
homes. The only industry at present is the Washburn Lumber 
Company. Gray is the center of the peach industry north of Ma¬ 
con. It can boast a dry cleaning establishment, super market, pic¬ 
ture show, a modern bank, five filling stations, an ultra modern 
motel, shoe shop and freezer locker. 

The large Jones County High School is located h-Qre and a 
football field. The colored High School (Maggie Califf) newer 
and larger than the white school was completed this past year. 
Headquarters for the Rural Electrification Association is housed 
in a neat attractive building. 

Griswoldville 

Griswoldville located in southern Roberts District, 304 militia 
district on the Central of Ga. railroad near the Twiggs County 
line was named for Samuel Griswold. He came from Burlington, 
Conn, about 1818. He first lived in Clinton where he had an 
iron foundry and manufactured cotton gins, but the business 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


267 


grew to such proportions that he decided to move his factory on 
a railroad. 

The Central railroad had just been completed to Savannah, 
so he bought 4,000 acres of land in lower Jones County through 
which the railroad ran. Here he built a mammoth gin factory, 
sawmill, a gristmill, a planing mill and a large brick foundry. 

He erected a three-story residence of twenty rooms, with out¬ 
houses, servants’ quarters, laundry, stables and barns. 

Across the railroad was the Post office and fifty or sixty cot¬ 
tages with five or six rooms each for his white help and slaves. 
He also built a nice Church and a large store. He built his son 
a handsome dwelling nearby. 

Gins were shipped from here to Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, 
Arkansas and Mississippi. 

In 1863 Griswold’s gin factory was leased to the Confederate 
Government for the manufacture of army pistols. This factory 
which had turned out 900 gins in 1859 now was converted to the 
making of pistols. These weapons were calibre with rifled barrels 
and shaped like Colt’s revolvers. The frames were brass which 
they could cast and work more easily. The cylinders were made 
of iron twisted to make it stronger. This metal was collected 
from all over Jones County, as the blockade had shut off imports. 
Most of the families in the county gave their metal from the 
homes and farms to be melted down for the use of the Confed¬ 
eracy. In 1864 Sherman’s forces destroyed Griswoldville so thor¬ 
oughly that only the tall smoke blackened chimneys remained 
for the next fifty years, to show where this once thriving business 
was. The soap and candle factory here was also destroyed. 

The Van Burens lived here at one time right where the gin 
factory was burned. A nice home was built, later by a daughter. 
Mrs. Wallace Hardeman lived here, the Striplings, Johnsons, 
and Wells lived here. 

The Battle of Griswoldville is written up in another Chapter. 

The story is told that the Johnson boys sold out about 1865 
and went to Arkansas for they heard the tales about the rich 
lands out there. They wrote back glowing accounts of what they 
were doing, so several families sold out, among them the Strip¬ 
lings and Rufe Kelly from Gordon (the famous protector of 
Gordon against Sherman’s thousands of Cavalrymen). When 


268 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


the migrants reached Little Rock, the Mississippi River was 
covering the earth, and many were almost on starvation includ¬ 
ing the Johnson boys. Within a week or two all of the crowd and 
the Johnson boys were on their way back to Griswoldville, Jones 
County, Georgia. 

Haddock 

Haddock is located in the eastern part of the County, on the 
Dixie Highway and the Georgia Railroad, in Pope’s district, 358 
military district. The railroad was one of the first in the county, 
being built in 1871. Convicts were used for labor. The highway 
was paved in 1928. The town is built in a valley with the his¬ 
torical old Bowen home on one hill and the Haddock Junior 
High School on the other. 

Haddock takes its name from Caswell Haddock and his wife 
Milbry Barnes Haddock, the earliest settlers in this section and 
it was from a part of their plantation that Haddock was built. 

Milbry J. Barnes, a daughter of James Barnes, was married 
to Caswell Haddock Jan. 13, 1835 by Nathan Pasmore, J. P. 

Prior to her marriage Milbry lived with her parents on their 
plantation near Bradley. After her marriage to Caswell Had¬ 
dock, the couple moved to this plantation also owned by her 
father. This plantation contained 1350 acres of land. With her 
to her new home she brought a number of slaves also given to 
her by her father. At his death Mar. 10, 1859 James Barnes 
deeded this plantation to Milbry Barnes Haddock and her chil¬ 
dren. 

Caswell and Milbry Haddock reared a large family. Their 
children were Jimmie (killed in the Battle of Bull Run), Vic¬ 
toria, Rebecca, Bluford, Jeannie, Thomas, Joseph, Ella, Chris- 
tianna and William. 

Sherman passed through this plantation on his march from 
Atlanta to the sea, burning the warehouse where several years 
cotton crops were stored, killing livestock and plundering as 
he went. His army made its headquarters at the Bowen home 
about a mile away. 

After the building of the Georgia Railroad Samuel Anchors 
and his family moved to Haddock, then only a flag station, John 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


269 


D. Anchors a son, started out west and stopping to tell his par¬ 
ents good-bye met and fell in love with Christianna Haddock, 
daughter of Caswell and Milbry. The plans for the trip west 
were abandoned and John D. Anchors and Christianna Haddock 
were married. They built their home near the railroad, this was 
really the first house ever built in the present site of Haddock. 
This house was built about 1872. 

At the death of Milbry Barnes Haddock in 1885 the estate 
was divided among her children. At this time ten acres were sold 
at public auction, divided into lots for a section of the town of 
Haddock. This section was laid off in blocks and the streets 
named. 

The first store in Haddock was built by Goldstein, this was 
followed closely by a Grocery Store owned by Caswell Haddock. 
Other early merchants were George Walker, John D. Anchors 
and Richard Bullington. 

In 1882 Henry J. Finney moved to Haddock and was joined 
by his brother James T. Finney in 1884 when they jointly opened 
a mercantile business. 

The first schoolhouse built in Haddock was built by John D. 
Anchors in 1884 as a semi-private school. The school was a one- 
room frame building, taught by Sue Norman whose salary was 
paid by John D. Anchors and Henry Newsome. Other children 
in this section were given the advantage of an early education. 

As years passed and more families moved to Haddock this 
school no longer met the requirements and so in 1892 the Jones 
County Board of Education purchased a plot of land from Susie 
Phillips, daughter of Ella Haddock and a larger school was 
built. John D. Anchors and J. T. Finney were the first trustees 
of this school. 

In time this school also proved insufficient and in 1908 David 
D .Batchelor gave one and one-half acres of land and a brick 
building was erected. Trustees at this time were E. W. Coleman, 
C. W. Middlebrooks and C. H. Keller. This building was used 
until 1934 when the county with the aid of the Federal Govern¬ 
ment built a model Junior High School which the citizens of 
Haddock prize highly. 

The first cotton gin in Haddock was owned and operated by 


270 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Robert Cox, this was a traveling gin. When all the cotton in 
one section was ginned he would take his gin apart, pack and 
move on to the next community. Thus he made his annual visit to 
each section. 

The first gristmill in Haddock was owned by John DuPree. 
Cy Brown (negro) ran the first blacksmith shop. 

The Blount home, so called for Colonel James H. Blount, who 
last made his home there is located about a mile from Haddock 
This is one of the oldest homes in the vicinity of Haddock and 
still retains much of its charm and dignity, the architectural 
plan is of colonial type and especially beautiful is the old winding 
staircase in the front hall. This home was built for General 
Gordon, by Daniel Pratt. 

General Gordon sold this home to Thomas O. Bowen of 
Clinton. Thom. Bowen and his wife who was a Blount of Clinton 
made their home here. In November, 1864, Sherman made his 
headquarters here with this family. Mrs. Sally Mathis, one of 
our oldest citizens was then little Sally Bowen of about five years 
of age. Mrs. Bowen had two brothers who were outstanding 
citizens. James H. Blount who was for twenty-five years Con¬ 
gressman from this district and Dr. Horatio Bowen of Clinton. 
This home after many years was sold to Colonel James H. 
Blount later owned by his daughter Mrs. Walter D. Lamar of 
Macon. 

Other early settlers in Haddock were the Lesters, Bonners, 
Godards, Chambers, Middlebrooks, Pitts, Morris, Phillips, 
Huffs, Califfs, Bivins, Andrews, Clarks, Mercers, Speights, Fin¬ 
neys and Pursleys. 

At first there were no churches in Haddock. The Methodists 
attended at Fortville and the Baptists at Blountsville. 

In 1900 the Fortville Methodist Church was moved to Had¬ 
dock. For several years the Methodists and Baptists held services 
in this church, some Baptist services were also held in the K. P. 
Hall. In 1912 the present Baptist church was built. This is of 
wooden structure and painted white. 

In 1913 the present Methodist church was built. This church 
is built of brick and is much superior to the first building. The 
building committee were: J. T. Finney, J. A. Pitts, S. H. Had¬ 
dock, T. R. Turner and J. A. Middlebrooks. Augustus Ernest

was pastor at this time. 

The first peach orchard in Haddock was set out by John D. 
Anchors in 1903. A few years later J. T. Finney set out an 
orchard. 

Around 1905 the town was incorporated. Henry T. Finney 
was the first mayor. The aldermen were: John D. Anchors, S. 
H. Haddock, T. R. Turner and C. W. Middlebrooks. Charlie 
Roberts was the first town marshal. Haddock is not incorporated 
today. 

In 1910 Ross built the first telephone exchange. Daniel Had¬ 
dock succeeded him in this business. Today his niece Eillen Bon¬ 
ner is the owner. Haddock has always received excellent service 
from this company (now a part of county system owned by 
Ralph Lineberger). 

In 1912 a part of the business section of Haddock was de¬ 
stroyed by fire. The buildings lost at this time were stores owned 
by: H. J. and J. T. Finney, S. H. Haddock, H. C. Pearson and 
J. N. Holloway, R. H. Kingman and R. B. Bonner’s Market. 

This same year saw the enlargement of the residential sec¬ 
tion. A part of Christianna Haddock Anchors estate was bought 
by C. W. Middlebrooks. Divided into lots and sold at public 
auction. 

In May 1936 the Georgia Power Company extended the pow¬ 
er line from Gray to Haddock. 

Today Haddock is a thriving little town of about 500 inhabi¬ 
tants. The business section is composed of three general mer¬ 
chandise stores owned and operated by J. A. and J. D. Middle¬ 
brooks, J. A. Pursley and C. W. Finney; a garage owned by J. 
V. Mercer; Post Office, Ga. Depot, Haddock Gin Co. and Jones 
County Bank. The Jones County Bank is the oldest bank in the 
County, G. A. Smith is president, and the Cherokee Products 
Co., owned by Logan, Albert, Ernest and Mrs. Bloodworth, is 
located northeast of Haddock. Tarver Smith Lumber Company, 
is another industry in Haddock. 

Round Oak 

Round Oak community is located in northern central Jones 
County in Military District 360, and is on the line between 
Whites’ and Barrons’ Districts. It is five miles from the Jasper 


272 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


County line on the north and ten miles from the courthouse in 
Gray, on the south. 

Tradition says the village was name first Sylvania, later, 
Round Oak, for a huge oak tree under which the Indians held 
their powwows and which was over a hundred years old. The 
Indians were living through here when Clinton was a village. 
About 1810-15 the Indian children were at play on the west side 
of Falling Creek while the white settlers’ children were at play 
on the east. The railroad came through in 1885 and a large 
water tank was built under the old oak which leaked and killed 
the tree by 1895. The tank was moved to Hillsboro in 1907. 

Some of the early families here were: Butts, Whites, Hunts, 
Barrons, Days, Hascalls, Coulters, Marshalls, Funderburkes, 
Greens, Gordons, Ricketts, Osburns, McBurneys, Reese, Good- 
sons, Gray, Wilburn. 

A half mile south was the old Sunshine Church, a log building 
(no one knows the denomination), also used for a field school. 
The Battle of Sunshine Church took place here, and the account 
is given in another chapter. In November, 1864, this church was 
burned by Sherman’s forces, and in 1875 a church was built on 
the hill at Round Oak. The charter members have many of the 
names who had previously belonged to old Sunshine Church, and 
they are buried in the nearby cemetery. This church has in recent 
years been named Sunshine Church II. One of the wounded 
Federals who had been hospitalized at old Sunshine Church in 
1864, wrote a letter and sent a newspaper clipping to the Hunts 
who befriended him, and which letter is now in their possession 
from which I quote: “I preached in the new church at Round 
Oak, 25 years after I was wounded and a prisoner near here at 
old Sunshine Church. I brought my wife and daughter from 
Shelby, Ohio with me to visit the J. M. Hunts. After the service 
I walked around the church looking over the grounds where we 
did some of the hottest fighting, and under the church I found 
several 50-calibre bullets and minie balls.” Signed by Sgt. B. F. 
Morris of Shelby, Ohio. 

During the skirmishing, a cannon was set up under the his¬ 
toric oak by the Confederates. I have one of these shells in my 
possession also a Yankee gun and other cannon balls. The Fed- 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


273 


erals shot into the house (later owned by George B. J. White) 
north of Round Oak thinking that Wheeler had his headquarters 
there. This ten pound cannon ball I have, as it was dug out of a 
huge sill thirty years later. 

Children attended the old field school or had private teachers, 
until a small subscription school was started. Some of the early 
teachers were: Rev. E. W. Sammons, Rev. T. W. Ellis, Mr. 
Searcy, W. E. Patterson (later Chr. of the Ga. Prison Com.), 
B. F. Merritt, Claude Childs and others. About 1880 a school 
house was built on the church grounds, the school burned in 1910. 
In 1912 a new two-story building was constructed near the depot. 
This building had four teachers and 125 pupils. In 1923 this 
building was considered unsafe and was taken down and the ma¬ 
terial used for a one-story building and auditorium, which served 
until 1946 when the school was consolidated with the Jones 
County High School at Gray. 

The first stores were run by L. O. Benton & Co. from Monti- 
cello and the clerks were, John Malone and Milton Campbell. 
They had large stables where they sold mules, wagons, and farm¬ 
ing implements. Other stores here, were : J. W. Turk, Dr. Ben 
Barron, B. Walker, E. P. Hunt, W. H. Barron and George 
Gordon. George Gordon also had a cotton warehouse and his 
clerk was George Pursley. Early one morning, a fire broke out 
in the store owned by E. P. Hunt which burned the whole town 
except a store owned by J. T. Williams. In 1901 Barron and 
Henderson put up another store. 

“Little Dick Ricketts,” lived where later W. H. Henderson 
built his home. Ricketts farmed and made shoes. He went to the 
Army with the Jones County Volunteers in the 12th Ga. Regi¬ 
ment and although he was only five feet and a few inches he was 
as brave as could be. The boys in his company said that when 
Lee invaded Maryland, they had to wade the Potomac river. 
Long Jim Goolsby was six and one-half feet tall and very thin. 
He plunged into the water which came up to his chin, then he 
looked back to the bank at “Little Dick” and yelled, “Come on 
Dick,” to which he replied, “All right, let me roll up my pants,” 
which brought a laugh from his comrades. “Little Dick” went 
across the Potomac on the shoulders of his friend, “Long Jim 
Goolsby.” He made a fine soldier and could take down anyone 
twice his size.

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Henry Marshall and his family lived out near the Day-Barron 
place and he was the carpenter who built the church here. One 
son, Starling Marshall, was the engineer on the Central passen¬ 
ger train, and to let the folks know who was behind the throttle 
he would give many fancy toots on the steam whistle as he ap¬ 
proached the station. 

“Sugar Hill,” was west of Round Oak 7 miles, and in 1892 
they had a great commencement at the school. Several buggies, 
surreys with the fringe on top, and young men on horseback went 
to this affair. The rains poured, the bridges washed out and the 
night was dark, and many attendants from here were days get¬ 
ting home. 

In 1900 the second Jones County Fair was held here of which 
there is an account in another chapter. This fair was a red-letter 
day in this little town and many oldsters still tell of the horse 
running away and of the prizes awarded by the Judges, the 
drawnwork, the exhibits of farm products, and the picnic at 
“Smith’s Park.” 

In 1904 two families from Asbury Park, N. J., Mr. and Mrs. 
Sam Patterson and sons Henry and George, Mr. and Mrs. A. 
W. Dey and children, Helen and Sam bought lands a mile south 
of Round Oak and built a large Colonial home. They were 
friendly and hospitable and beloved in the community. The home 
was sold to the G. W. Jackson family about 1914. 

Early physicians who practiced here were: Dr. Ben Holland, 
Dr. C. H. Ridley, Sr., Dr. J. T. Garland (from Hillsboro), and 
Dr. T. A. White. 

Out in Hammocks District, G.M.D. 377, where New Hope 
church is located there were many early families: Jacksons, Jar¬ 
rells, Burns, Hammocks, Pippins, Maynards, Crutchfields, Rus- 
sells, Coulters, Middlebrooks, Gordons, Greens, Greshams, 
Glawsons, and Huffs. 

On out near the Ocmulgee river were: Hodges, Dames, Bee- 
lands, Glovers, Zellners, Van Zandts, Tribbles, Herndons, 
Greens, and others. Up in the northwest corner of Jones, called 
Cornucopia, or Sugar Hill were: Ridleys, Mitchells, John Kelly, 
Mac Patterson, Wm. Brooks, Lane Jacob, Bryan Lee, Kings, 
Garlands, Isaiah Packer, Isham Meadows, and others. 

“Fiddlers Rest,” long since disappeared, was a notorious place 
for drinking and gambling, two miles west of Round Oak. This 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


275 


was a crossroads where men gathered at a store and barroom 
run by George Mann, who held shooting matches, gander pull¬ 
ing, gambling and wrestling. Often under the influence of drink, 
men cut and fought and some died here. There were five or six 
houses near here at that time. 

Round Oak has a population of about 200, a post office with 
Mrs. R. L. White as Postmaster, it is on highway No. 11, Cen¬ 
tral railroad, and is adjacent to the many thousands of acres 
owned by the U. S. Government, called “Piedmont Wildlife 
Reserve,” on the west, and “Soil Conservation District,” on the 
east, also “The Hitchitee Reserve,” on the southeast. 

Union Hill 

The Union Hill Male and Female Academy was established 
in 1835, and torn down in 1910. This is a roster of teachers of 
the school while in existence: Mr. McManna, Mr. G. Washing¬ 
ton Ross, Miss Narcissus Ross, Mr. John Wesley Griggs, Mr. 
Dave Andrews, Mr. William Andrews, Mrs. Rita Davidson, 
Mrs. Julia Ross Kendrick, Mr. William Osburn, Mr. Kilgore, 
Miss Willie Johnson, Mr. Luther Folds, Mr. William Bozeman, 
Miss Lillian Key, Miss Irene Hays, Rev. Arthur Jackson, Miss 
Lily Wicks, Miss Mary Will Adams, Miss Velna Mooneyham 
and Miss Carrie Jones. 

The Union Hill Primitive Baptist Church was organized in 
1805. Sold to and torn down in 1874 by Mr. Bill McKizzic. 

Union Hill Missionary Baptist Church was established in 
1875. During that time there has been only three church clerks, 
Mr. G. W. Ross, Mr. W. J. Ross and Mr. Henry Avant, Mr. 
W. J. Ross is clerk now. 

This is a list of pastors who have served there. Revs. Wash 
Smith, Lawrence Marshall, Wm. Phelps, T. H. Greer, E. W. 
Sammons, Arthur Jackson, J. N. Etheridge, S. F. Lowe, W. E. 
Long and L. Jackson. 

Land for church and school was donated by Roland Ross, Sr. 
in 1835. Some of the early settlers were: Thomas Haddock, 
Clark Dumas, Roland Ross, Sr., Reason Wilcoxon, Ben Finney, 
Marshall Holsenbeck, Isaac Daniels, James Goolsby, Alex 
Odom, John McKizzic, Thomas Laxenby, William Vincent, 
and Thomas Horne. The Hutchings, Childs, Turners, Avants, 
and Hadaways came in later on.

Wayside History 

In the early 19th century, only a few homesteads were in the 
vicinity of what is now Wayside. There was the old Ben Wood- 
all place, on the site of what is now the J. N. Smith home; the 
old Finney homestead located right back of what is now J. D. 
Wood’s home; and the old Barfield home, built on the site of the 
home now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Tony Sweda. All of these 
original homesteads were destroyed by fire. 

Wayside has had three names. It first went by the undignified 
name of Lousy Level; the second was little better, being Black 
Ankle; and the present name came into being near the time the 
railroad came through in the early 1880’s. 

The next home to be built in Wayside was the Tom Green 
home, built on the site of what is now the H. B. Davis home. 
Mr. Green also built a blacksmith shop adjacent to his home. 

Early families here were: Carsons, Finneys, Holmes, Browns, 
Stewarts, Smiths, Barfields, Childs, Greens, Billy George, Wood- 
alls, and Ticknors. Later were the Whiteheads, Russells, Davis, 
Woods, Childs, Gordons, Bilderbacks, Pounds, Stanfords, Wil¬ 
liamsons, and Bushs. 

John S. Stewart lived noth of Wayside; his children were: 
James, Frank M., John E., Mrs. R. A. Harris, Mrs. W. D. 
Boothe, Mrs. D. E. Duggan. His nephews were F. M. Stewart, 
Sr., and J. A. Stewart. 

In the latter part of the 19th century, an Academy stood at 
Wayside, called the Planters’s Academy. This was located back 
of where the Joe Bilderbacks now live. The large spring that 
supplied the water for this school is at the bottom of the hill 
and is known as Academy Spring. It now supplies water for 
the G.M. Canning Co. The trustees for the school were Buck 
Finney, Mr. Ticnor and Curtis Green (at one time). 

After the Academy was destroyed, a one-room school was 
built next to the present home of Mrs. Annie Childs. The room 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


277 


is still standing with two wings added. 

One of the first businesses in Wayside other than the afore¬ 
mentioned blacksmith shop was a general store owned by a Mr. 
Walker. One of the next homes built was on the site of Mrs. 
Annie Childs home and built by a Mr. Slocum and in front of 
his house was the next business establishment, a cotton gin. 

In the year 1883, a big tornado struck Wayside. Some of the 
older people in Wayside who were living then remember the 
storm. It struck first at what is now the Harry Gordon home 
and ripped a wide path through Wayside and vicinity injuring 
many people, killing a few and causing great property damage. 
One family had just moved into their new home and it was de¬ 
stroyed all but the floor. It is said that bolts of cloth from the 
store were wrapped around trees for miles around and some 
were blow as far as Eatonton. The story is told that in one 
home, the family had just sat down for dinner and the storm 
picked up the table cloth with all the dishes on it, twisted the 
cloth around as if making a hundle with the dishes inside and 
set it back down on the table. Another story is told of an old 
negro who was in the store at the time. He locked arms and 
legs around a keg of liquor. The storm roared over taking the 
store, but leaving the old negro and the keg intact. 

Soon afterwards the railroad came through and the first depot 
was set up in a box car. The first express office was a flat car. 
For a while Wayside was the end of the track and one of the 
older people living now remembers as a child riding from Round 
Oak to Wayside on the train which consisted of an engine and 
a coach. She says when they got to Wayside, the porter turned 
the seats around and the train backed them up the track to 
Round Oak. 

Any man coming to Wayside on business and having no place 
to stay was taken in at the old Bachelor’s Hall which was located 
adjacent to the present O. R. Cook home. 

In the early part of the 20th century, the peach industry put 
in its appearance. There were several packing sheds set up in 
Wayside. The first one was put up by J .D. Wood and located 
on the spot where Mrs. B. J. Whitehead now lives. Another 
was Mr. Jerry Smith’s located across from Horace Green’s 
present home. 

This about brings the history up to 1907 with the exception

of the Civil War incidents which are taken up elsewhere in the 
book. 

In 1921 Miss Maude Childs organized a community Sunday 
School which grew into the Presbyterian church, which was or¬ 
ganized with four members: Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Marquess 
and Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Davis. The building was dedicated in 
1923 and the manse was built by E. M. Davis, Sr. Wm. H. Mar¬ 
quess was elected and ordained elder with E. M. and H. B. 
Davis as trustees.

Chapter XVIII 

Education 

The history of education in Georgia and Jones County during 
the Colonial and Ante-Bellum periods was a series of develop¬ 
ments by slow growth, from tutors, small private schools to 
academies, poor schools, field schools and finally public schools. 

It took years for people here and in Georgia as a whole to get 
away from the idea of poor schools and advance public schools 
for all, regardless of condition. 

Jones County was new, land abundant and cheap and money 
was hard to raise. The first poor schools were supported by taxes 
derived by levies from the Inferior court upon recommendation 
of the Grand Jury. Names of the children unable to pay were 
kept on file and may now be seen at the courthouse in the Ordin¬ 
ary’s office. The teachers got about five cents per day per pupil, 
the highest was paid seven cents. The parents in one community 
got together and hired a Yankee school teacher to teach ten 
months. Some planters who had tutors in their homes sent their 
children to northern colleges to finish their education. 

In 1820 a committee appointed by the legislature recommend¬ 
ed a poor school fund and in 1822 the state appropriated 
$12,000 to be divided among the counties according to the num¬ 
ber of poor children returned from 8 to 18 years with tuition 
paid for only three years. 

Some important dates are: the University of Georgia, called 
Franklin College was created in 1784 the first established by a 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


279 


state, but it was not opened until 1801, and the first class of nine 
graduated May 31, 1808 under an arbor on the campus. Indians 
stood at the edge of the forests looking on in awe. Those nine 
were Col. Gibson Clark, Gen. Jeptha Harris, Wm. H. Jackson, 
James Jackson, Augustus S. Clayton, Thos. Irwin, Jared Irwin, 
Robert Rutherford and William Williamson. Wesleyan in 
Macon was chartered as Georgia Female College on Dec. 23, 
1836 and began operation in 1839, the first college for women 
under a state charter. In 1843 there were eleven graduates. Em¬ 
ory at Oxford established in 1837, Pennfield-Mercer, 1829-1833, 
Oglethorpe at Milledgeville, 1838, Augusta Medical, 1833. 

There is no record of schools in Jones County from the or¬ 
ganization of the county in 1807 until 1821 and in all probability 
there w T ere few who received any education during those first few 
years after Jones County was settled. The settlers were coming 
in during that period and working to get land cleared, houses 
built and food for the family. There was the Indian problem, 
money was scarce, the roads at times impassable and the nearest 
markets were Augusta and Savannah. Education was a luxury 
and not a necessity during those first years of the county. 

As these settlers got some of their many problems adjusted, 
there was an increasing interest in education. Then it was believ¬ 
ed that it was the duty of the individual to pay for the education 
of his children and not the duty of the state. The result was that 
there was a mass of children whose parents were unable or un¬ 
willing to pay for their schooling. The state paid nothing at all 
for several years and then only to the academies and that was 
very little. The academies were not intended for the masses, but 
for the wealthier classes. The masses could not afford to board 
their children at the academy or to travel long distances over the 
rough roads. The rank and file had so many difficulties that their 
children were allowed to grow up without schooling in those 
first years of thp new county, and this resulted in classes of cit¬ 
izenship, the aristocratic element and the poor class. The plant¬ 
ers bought more and more land and slaves while the poor man 
had few opportunities to do this. Often they would move on to 
new counties where the land was cheaper and the soil richer. 

Step by step the schools grew from the private tutor to poor 
schools, field schools, academies and finally to free or public 
schools at a later period. As soon as Jones County had establish- 


280 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


ed a creditable system, the dark days of the Civil War came to 
blot it all out, and then followed the worst period of all, the 
carpet-bag rule and Reconstruction when there were no schools 
for ten years. By 1872 as the state was getting back in control of 
her affairs, she at once set up a system of education supported by 
taxation. Gov. James M. Smith appointed Gustaves J. Orr, State 
School Commissioner. He is called, “The Father of the Public 
School System in Georgia.” 

Before the Revolutionary War, New England ideas were pre¬ 
dominant in Georgia education, but after the Revolution immi¬ 
grants poured into Georgia from Virginia, North Carolina and 
South Carolina and a new order prevailed. Virginia and not New 
England gave direction to the new order of society. The Virgin¬ 
ian had no common schools then. Many of the wealthier planters 
were educated in private schools, and they had tutors, but the 
plain people had few advantages. They had meager schooling in 
the “field school”, which our pattern followed and also in our 
“poor schools”. 

This “field school” and “poor school” were always in the 
country, usually located at a crossroad near a spring. It was made 
of logs, the large cracks filled with mud. Some had a stick and 
mud chimney, none had glass windows, and the light came in 
through the door or openings in the walls, closed only by wooden 
shutters. The seats were made of split logs, or later “punch¬ 
eons”. the more privileged of the poor might bring a split bot¬ 
tomed chair from home for more comfort. If there was any desk 
at all it was a shelf around the walls with seats pulled up to it. 
The floor was of split logs or coarse boards and some used the 
bare ground. There was nothing of beauty about the school and 
it was not meant to be a place to be enjoyed. These were places 
for hard work and strict discipline. 

The teacher was often a young boy who had learned to read 
and write and cipher, and was seeking a new place to settle. 
Sometimes he was a local preacher who had no income from his 
work in the pulpit, and taught a subscription school to supple¬ 
ment what he made on his little farm near by. Sometimes he was 
a trifling adventurer who taught a short while before getting into 
trouble and slipping mysteriously away. Some of these schools 
were better than others—some teachers were very efficient and 
praise-worthy. Andrew B. Stephens, father of Alexander Ste- 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


281 


phens taught one such school in Wilkes County. Among his old 
papers is a bill dated Christmas 1805 made out to the “estate of 
Wyllie Wright for teaching two students, 12 months, 16 dol¬ 
lars.” The general rate was $6.00 for 12 months. Often the 
teacher was boarded around or paid off in produce. 

Some of the rules in the old schools were: Scholars going out 
of doors to study could not sit within 30 feet of each other or 50 
feet of the schoolhouse. No scholar was allowed to go into 
fields, orchards or gardens unless it was on their road home from 
school. There was a special admonition not to take melons or 
fruit without the consent of the owner. They were not to make 
game of each other or of each other’s clothes. They must not 
nickname one another. 

The school teacher relied on the old hickory stick to maintain 
discipline. “He only whipped the big boys, and frightened the 
little ones and hardly ever whipped a girl.” 

A typical student’s lunch was brought in a tin pail and consist¬ 
ed of a piece of meat, a sweet potato, a little jar of syrup with a 
lump of butter in it which was poured in a potato or biscuit after 
he stuck his finger in it. 

The teacher made so little that he usually had a farm, or sold 
sewing machines or hauled wood to help out his finances. The 
salary might not be over $30.00 a month, sometimes three 
months before the crop was laid by and three months after the 
crops were gathered, he taught the school. 

Each year the teachers were examined by the Superintendent 
of Education before they were licensed to teach, and had to do 
examples in fractions, decimals, subtraction, division, compound 
interest and partial payments. Teaching about one hundred years 
ago was a hard job with little pay. 

Old Sunshine Church, a mile south of Round Oak, was used as 
an old field school and only recently I have picked up bits of slate 
around the site where the old log church stood. The girls were 
taught only to read and write. The boys had “ciphering”. There 
was the paddle with a, b, c’s cut on it, the horn book was used 
and then the blue back speller. My mother said that books were 
so scarce she learned to read from an almanac. The teacher was 
an autocrat and the parents wanted him to be. School opened 
soon after sun up and closed about sundown. 

The War Between the States made even existing a problem for

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


a decade after the burning and destruction through Georgia. 
Jones County was left destitute and education was at its lowest 
ebb. We find no records for ten years. 

In 1871, as the state began to regain control of her affairs, the 
records show that Jones County’s Board of Education consisted 
of one member from each district and that they selected Isaac 
Hardeman, President of the Board and David W. Lester as 
School Commissioner and Secretary. In 1873 a school term of 
three months was provided for the children of the county. Since 
the beginning of the present school system, Jones County has 
had five capable leaders for her schools. These interested men 
have brought our schools a long way in seventy-five years. 

Consolidation and transportation have reduced the white 
schools to only four and the colored schools to four, all of which 
have excellent facilities. 

These five men are: David W. Lester, 1871-1881; A. H. S. 
McKay, 1881 to 1902; E. W. Sammons, 1902 to 1942; U. S. 
Lancaster from 1925 to 1933 and W. E. Knox 1933 to the pres¬ 
ent. There follows an account of their lives. 

Jones County has given the state of Georgia many able men 
and the two governors were: William J. Northern, 1890 to 1894 
and Chas. McDonald 1839 to 1843. 

The Academy was an institution of English origin adapted to 
the needs of the Southern frontier and found in greatest number 
in the Piedmont regions. Planters who wished their sons to ac¬ 
quire the training of gentlemen, banded together to establish 
academies. These schools operated under state charters, were 
endowed by private subscriptions and governed by self-perpetu¬ 
ating boards of trustees drawn from the public spirited men of 
the community. Although they received some state aid, they de¬ 
pended primarily on student fees for current expenses. 

They had few books and little equipmnt and the building vari¬ 
ed from a single large house to two-storied well built structures. 
Most of the teachers were college trained and the instruction 
was classical. The young men learned law and politics. 

Records of the old days and some of the outstanding teachers, 
are most interesting. There was J. P. Barrow who taught at 
Clinton and lies in the old churchyard nearby. Born in Morgan 
Co. Nov. 1830 and died in Philadelphia, Pa. Sept. 3, 1856—Age

26. On his monument is carved, “Remember friend as you pass 
by, As you are now so once was I, As I am now so you may be, 
Prepare for death and follow me”. This Barrow was a brother 
to the Chancellor Barrow of the University of Georgia (Dr. 
David Crenshaw Barrow—1906) Another brother, Pope Bar- 
row, was a senator of the United States. Their father, James 
Barrow, was a native of North Carolina and a soldier of the 
Revolutionary War who fought at Valley Forge, Germantown, 
Brandywine and Savannah and settled in Baldwin Co. when it 
was opened. He died at 73 years. His wife was Patience Cren¬ 
shaw from Virginia. 

Mrs. Parks was an outstanding teacher of Clinton and prom¬ 
inent in all educational activities of the county. Miss Sara Rock¬ 
well was listed as having exceptional ability. Mr. John Harris 
Chappell came to teach here when he was twenty years old, made 
a fine teacher and was later President of G. N. I. C. at Milledge- 
ville, Ga. (GSCW) He was originally from Columbus, Ga. 

There is an account of Rev. Thos. Bog Slade of Clinton Acad¬ 
emy, in “Men of Mark”. 

Mr. Kellog from the north, and a Miss Ripley both note¬ 
worthy in education. After Mr. Kellog’s death, Ed Waterman 
conducted the girl’s school for several years,then moved to 
Macon. He had several children. One son, Ed. Jr., was an officer 
in the Macon Guard and was killed in battle. A son, John Wat¬ 
erman, went to Hawkinsville and edited a newspaper for many 
years. The first Watermans came from Maine to Sparta, Ga. 
Joseph married Caroline Morris and John T. was born in Clint¬ 
on and married Anna Brown. This family had many descendants, 
among them is Mrs. Ed Burke in Macon (Lora Waterman). 

Eugene Mitchell from Macon resigned to enlist in the army 
of the Confederacy. Mr. Tippett taught the boys’ schools, and 
was considered an excellent teacher. 

THE ACADEMIES OF JONES COUNTY

the teacher with the rod and the day of all days—the public ex¬ 
amination. It is with this era in Georgia History that this is writ¬ 
ten of and about. The schools of the black belt or middle Georgia 
were established much later than those on the tide water, but 
they soon arose to be their equals and rivals. 

Jones County was formerly a part of Baldwin. An act pass¬ 
ed by the legislature of Georgia and signed December 10, 1807, 
authorized six new counties to be carved out of the counties of 
Baldwin and Wilkinson. The new counties were Morgan, Ran¬ 
dolph, Putmon, Laurens, and Telfair. A small hamlet known as 
Albany existed in Jones county a few years prior to 1809, when 
its name was changed and it became incorporated as Clinton 
(1816) in honor of Governor DeWitt Clinton of New York, 
who figured prominently in politics at that time. 

Unlike other small towns, Clinton did not grow in a haphaz¬ 
ard manner. The village was laid out in 1811 with a square upon 
which the Court House was built, it being the County seat, and 
the town grew up around it. The lot of land on which Clinton 
was built, containing 202 acres, was bought from Thomas 
Johnson by the Judges of the Inferior Court, and the sale of the 
lots paid for the Court House. 1 

Business and residence lots were laid off and some of the 
streets were named Pinckney, Pulaski, Madison, Washington, 
Jackson, Walnut and Liberty. Around the Court House square 
on the four streets which faced it, were dwellings, stores and 
places of business There were in the days of its prosperity, three 
large taverns, a hotel, cotton warehouses, a photograph gallery, 
churches, schools, many stables as well as shops of locksmiths, 
silversmiths and stores. Sherwood in his Gazeteer of Georgia in 
1827 says that there were fifty-five houses and stores in the 
village. 2 But the Clinton of yesterday is gone—there remains 
today a few houses of this once prosperous community—it is 
truly a deserted village. 

Of the schools from 1810 to 1820 little is known. Colonel 
Telaman Cuyler of Jones County had in his collection of family 
papers and books some school books used between the years

1812 and 1815 by his great-grandfather, Peter Clower, in the 
schools of Clinton. But of the nature, subject matter taught and 
teachers, have no concrete data. However, in my files of old 
papers there is an apprentice’s Indenture dated December 12, 
1817 that mentions education. It was the custom in those days 
to bind out the young boys to a tradesman so that the youth 
would be prepared to take care of himself in future days. In this 
indenture the father, a Mr. Abraham Sexton, binds his son, 
James, out to Elmond Walton, a carriage maker of Clinton for 
a term of nine years. One of the stipulations was: “ ... it is fur¬ 
ther understood that the said Walton is to have the said James 
P. Sexton instructed in Spelling, Reading, Writing, and Arithme¬ 
tic, as far as the rule of three.” 3 

The State had passed an act in 1792 appropriating $1000 for 
the endowment of an Academy in each county. In 1817 $250,000 
were appropriated to support poor schools and in 1821 
$250,000 were set apart for the support of county academies. 4 
It was in accordance with these acts that the academies were es¬ 
tablished in Jones County. 

The first academy to be incorporated by the Georgia Legisla¬ 
ture in Jones County was the Clinton Academy. The act said: 

That from and immediately after the passage of 
this act, the Academy in Jones County, now known by 
the name of the Clinton Academy, shall be known and 
called by that name, and that James Smith, Gustaves 
Hendrick, Samuel Lowther, Charles J. McDonald, and 
Henry G. Lamar, and their successors in office, be, 
and they are hereby declared to be, a body politic and 
corporate, by the name and style of “The trustees of 
Clinton Academy. 5 

This same act also stated that this group of trustees would 
have control over all the property, gifts, donations, and grants 
of the institution. They were to elect new members if vacancies 
occurred and they were also given the authority to use a seal. 
This act was signed December 15, 1831 by Governor John 
Clarke.

Ten days later another act was passed appropriating the fines 
and forfeitures arising from criminal prosecutions to the use and 
benefit of the Academy. This act passed the 25th of December, 
1821, required the County officials to turn over to the trustees 
of the Academy all money derived from forfeitures and fines. 
The trustees were required to make a report annually to the 
grand jury of all money taken in and expended. 6 Thus we see that 
this first incorporated academy was supported by the State, 
county, and by the pupils. 

Within the next five years three more academies were estab¬ 
lished by the Legislature in Jones County, namely, Fortville, 
Farmers, and Flat Shoals Academies. The Fortville Academy 
was authorized to be incorporated by an act passed by the Legis¬ 
lature and signed by Governor Clarke on December 9, 1822. 7 
The trustees of this institution were Robert Hutchings, John W. 
Gordon, Thomas Jefferson, William Harris and Robert Brown. 
The duties of this body were practically the same as those of the 
trustees of the Clinton Academy. 

Farmer’s Academy was created by an act passed December 19, 
1822. 8 The Trustees of this academy as stipulated by the act 
were as follows: Bailey Bell, Adam Carson, Kitchen P. Thweatt, 
James Locket, Cyrus Colton, Samuel Barron, and William 
Cowan. 

On November 30, 1826 an act was passed by the Georgia 
Legislature and signed by Governor Troup establishing the Flat 
Shoals Academy in Jones County. The trustees of this school 
were Abner Davis, Jesse Cox, Peter Northern, Ichabod Cox and 
Joshua Bateman. 9 

Of these four academies the one at Clinton is best known. It 
was located in the county seat and therefore, it is natural to ex¬ 
pect that it would far out reach the others. There is also more 
data to be found on the Clinton Academy than on the other three. 

The records in the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court 
show that the land on which the Clinton Academy was built was 
formerly owned by William Butler. Mr. Butler sold this lot, con-

taining five acres, to Isaac Harvey. In 1820 Mr. Harvey sold 
this lot to Elias Bliss of Savannah, who in 1824 sold the same 
lot to Thomas B. Slade for $600. Mr. Slade built a dwelling and 
school on this lot. 10 

From all the records and facts it seems that Mr. Slade became 
the main teacher and attraction in the Clinton Academy. Dr. 
Lucian Lamar Knight, in one of his books, makes the following 
statement of him: 

Ten years before Wesleyan Female College, at Macon, per¬ 
formed its historic act of conferring upon a woman her first 
college degree, there was a distinguished pioneer educator suc¬ 
cessfully conducting a school for girls in the town of Clinton. 
This blazing trails in an educational wilderness was Thomas 

B. Slade.-Professor Slade was born in North Carolina in 

1800. For a while, he practiced law with his father, General 
Jeremiah Slade, in the Tar Heel State. But he was cast in the 
molds of a great educator, and, relinquishing Blackstone, he 
wended his way to Georgia,-to become a leader in the edu¬ 

cational field. 11 

The building that Mr. Slade constructed to house his school 
has been described by several old people to have been of the 
usual architecture of that period. Mr. S. H. Griswold, in a letter 
to the editor of the Jones County News in 1908, described the 
building as he remembered it as follows: 

I mentioned the girls school in Clinton in one of my 
letters. This school was a boarding school, a large two- 
story frame building - - - it faced toward the court 
house square and its front yard was nicely terraced and 
planted with beautiful flowers. - - - The school room 
was on the ground floor and the sleeping rooms were 
on the upper floor. I think the school room was in the 
rear part of the house. The back yard and grounds 
were planted in fruit trees and were well kept. 12 

According to Miss Ellen May Bonner, who attended the 
Academy in the sixties, the building had never been changed 
from Mr. Slade’s original school house. However, in later years,

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


one of Mr. Slade’s successors built a lake in front of the school. 
Traces of the dam may still be seen. 

The Georgia Legislature passed an Act December 22, 1827 
authorizing the Trustees of the Clinton Academy to raise by a 
Lottery five thousand dollars for the benefit of the Academy. 
This act appointed Robert Hardeman, Samuel Lowther, John 
Harvey, John Speir, James Billingslea and James George as 
commissioners to superintend and conduct the lottery. 13 These 
men had the power to conduct the lottery any way they saw fit. 
After all the expenses of the lottery had been paid the remainder 
was to be turned over to the trustees of the Academy. This act 
was signed by Governor John Forsyth. The money that was rais¬ 
ed was probably used to equip the school and make other im¬ 
provements around the grounds. 

The school grew and flourished under the care of Mr. Slade. 
It is said that he was never known to canvass for a pupil nor to 
reject one because she was unable to pay. 14 his chief thought and 
desire was to give the southern girl adequate educational facili¬ 
ties. The following handbill printed in 1837 will give some idea 
as to the high standards of the institution.

To prevent future controversy, and insure peace 
and good order of the school, all persons who do not 
approve of it and its regulations, are requested not to 
patronize it, either by sending to school, or by board¬ 
ing pupils. 

Half payment will be required in advance, and we 
hope some exertion will be made to comply with this 
condition; for delinquencies put us to much inconven¬ 
ience and loss. 

No pupil received for less time than the scholastic 
year, and no deduction of tuition for irregular attend¬ 
ance. 

The school will be supplied with all necessary appa¬ 
ratus; and the Principal intends to avail himself of the 
ensuing vacation to visit some of the best Female 
Institutions in our country. 

Attendance on Balls and Parties prohibited. Our aim 
will be to impart practical and substantial knowledge, 
and to inculcate those principles of integrity, and 
habits of industry, which will lay the foundation of 
future usefulness.

Principal 15 

Clinton, Georgia 
May 12, 1837. 

The above material gives one not only an idea of the type of 
school but also an insight into the character of its principal, 
Thomas B. Slade. The school was well attended by young ladies 
from the counties of Twiggs, Hancock, Putnam and other 
counties. 

On December 23, 1836 the Legislature of Georgia granted a 
charter to the Georgia Female College, thus establishing the 
first chartered college for women in the world. The college itself 
was not opened until January 9, 1839. Professor Slade had be-

come so well known in Middle Georgia as an educator that we 
find him installed as the first professor of natural sciences in this 
institution. Knight says: 

He brought with him to Macon his own chemical ap¬ 
paratus for experiments and his own geodus for astro¬ 
nomical studies. Thirty of his pupils followed him 
from Clinton to form the nucleus of the Georgia 
Female College; also, two of his music teachers, Miss 
Maria Lord, from Boston, and Miss Martha Massey, 
the latter a beneficiary pupil. Miss Lord was after¬ 
wards well known in Macon as Mrs. Boardman. 

- - - He arranged the first curriculum and prepared the 
first diploma granted by the college, thus marking with 
his pen, a new epoch in the educational history of the 
world - - - He moved to Columbus in 1842 and contin¬ 
ued his duties as an educator. He died at an advanced 
age, in 1882. 16 

After Mr. Slade left the academy and went to Wesleyan a Mr. 
Kellog took his place. He was a Northerner, who was well edu¬ 
cated and quite a capable man. He conducted the Academy 
very efficiently and had a large patronage. According to Mr. 
Griswold he was loved by his pupils and the community. Mr. 
Kellog was a victim of consumption and died of that disease the 
day after giving his pupils a farewell lecture. 17 The people of 

17. Griswold, Op. Cit., p. 2. 

Clinton out of love for the departed schoolmaster aided his wife 
to return to her people in the north. Mr. Kellogg’s music 
teacher, a Miss Ripley, remained in Clinton as a governess in 
the family of Samuel Griswold. 

Some of the pupils in Mr. Kellogg’s school were: Misses Car¬ 
rie Billingslea, Corinne and Lizzie Drewry, Jane Thigpen and 
Carrie Etheridge of Jones County, Misses Harris, Hancock, 
and Carden of Twiggs County. 18 

At the end of the school term a public examination was given, 
consisting of tableux, charades, recitations of lessons, and the 
reading of compositions. This occasion was looked forward to 
by all the people with a great deal of pleasure and drew large

crowds. The musical program of the Clinton Academy was es¬ 
pecially attractive. The pupils exhibited their ability in both 
vocal and instrumental music. These occasions were usually fol¬ 
lowed by a grand ball given by the young men of the town for 
the young ladies and was held in the Gibson Hotel. Mr. Gris¬ 
wold describes very vividly these balls and he states that the 
music was furnished by Jack Weathers, a slave. 

After Mr. Kellog’s death Mr. Waterman, from Maine, took 
charge of this school and conducted it successfully for several 
years. When Sherman made his memorable “march to the sea”, 
a detachment under General Stoneman visited Clinton and de¬ 
stroyed much property. The story is told that the school house 
was set fire to and would have burned if several slaves and young 
boys had not put it out. A few years after the war Henry 
Greaves bought this building and tore it down and used the lum¬ 
ber to construct a dwelling on his plantation. This house is still 
standing and is about five miles from Clinton on the road to 
Macon. 

Education for young men was not lacking in Clinton. Although 
no date has been found as to when it was chartered or its 
trustees, it was probably created as a separate branch under the 
Act of 1821. The school building for the boys stood on a triangle 
in front of the Methodist Church. This building was blown down 
several years ago in a high wind and today only a few remains 
can be seen. (Called, “Day’s Boys’ School”.) 

The teachers who presided over this school were men of 
strong nerve and character for in those days the rod played a 
large part in the education of young boys. Mr. Griswold makes 
the following comment on one of the teachers of this school: 

I have no knowledge as to who first taught this 
school before the time of Mr. Tippett, whom I 
recollect. He was a thick set, stout built man, not very 
tall, with sandy hair, of ruddy complexion, a large head 
with a massive and strong looking jaw. He walked the 
floor a good part of the time and woe to the boy he 
caught whispering or making mischief during study 
hours. Before he knew it Mr. Tippett was behind him 


292 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


and with a blow from his fist would knock him from the 
bench. I think he was a Scotchman or of Scotch descent. 19 

Some of the scholars who attended this school were: Harrison 
Barron, Hugh and Frank Tye, Jeff and Flew Williams, Jack and 
Tom Hardeman, Bud Blount,, Pate Pitts, and Jim Blount. 20 

Besides Mr. Tippett, Mr. Barrow, Mr. Florence, Eugene 
Mitchell, Z. D. Harrison, and Z. Thigpen were some of the 
teachers in the boys’ school. The lack of space prevents us from 
relating many of the stories and tales handed down. 

Having completed a study of the academies in Clinton let us 
examine the progress of some of the others. Of the remaining 
three, Farmer’s, Flat Shoals, and Fortville, Farmer’s is the most 
outstanding. 

The Farmer’s Academy was located in the northern part of 
Jones County near the present village of Wayside. The name of 
this school was changed from Farmer’s to Planter’s by an act of 
the legislature passed December 20, 1823. 21 One of the early 
teachers in this school was a Mr. Wilson Whatley. He like most 
teachers of this era, was a good disciplinarian. He had a gruff 
voice and was a very fine teacher. Some of the other teachers of 
this institution were William Whatley, Joe Carson, J. R. Jenk¬ 
ins,, J. A. Bowers, James F. Barron and Jack Barron. 

This Academy burned and instead of building it back, it was 
decided to build a new one on the Macon road. The teachers and 
the pupils of the old Academy moved to this new site and re¬ 
sumed their scholastic duties. Mr. Griswold attended a public ex¬ 
amination at this school and he states that a large bush arbor had 
been built to the school house with logs, and at intervals under 
it, planks were placed across the logs for seats and a stage was 
built up against the school house. From this stage the pupils were 
examined in their studies, the girls read compositions and the 
boys delivered elegant speeches. After the examinations were 
over a barbecue and basket dinner a la Jones County style was 
served. These events attracted large crowds. 22 

Of the Flat Shoals and Fortville Academies there is no data 
available at the present. Two more Academies were established

in Jones County between 1830-1835, namely, Union Hill Male 
and Female Academy, and Blountsville Academy. 

The Academies were attended by the children of the large 
planters and wealthy farmers. The children of the small farmers 
and persons of small income, who could not afford to send their 
children to the academies, were educated by the poor school 
fund. This fund was in operation from about 1827 to 1861 in 
Georgia. The trustees of this fund were appointed by an act 
of the legislature passed December 18, 1827. They were John 
R. Moore, Peter Northern, Anderson Rice, William S. Middle- 
brooks and Peter Clower. 28 The Ordinary of the county held this 
fund and he received 2%% for collecting and paying out of this 
fund. 

Harriet C. Ticknor, mother of the famous Georgia poet, 
Francis Orray Ticknor, was a teacher in the poor schools of Jones 
County. The pay of the poor school teachers was small. Mrs. 
Ticknor received $18.31% for the instruction of eight pupils for 
a quarter in 183 2. 24 Rev. George White in his Statistics of 

Georgia, published in 1849 said “.Education in Jones 

County is highly appreciated. There are twenty-five schools in 
the county. 25 Evidently most of these schools must have been 
poor or Old Field schools. 

The education trends in Jones County up to the Civil War 
were excellent and turned out some outstanding pupils. Some of 
them were Francis Orray Ticknor, author of the well-know T n 
Civil War poem, “Little Giffen”; Jane Thigpen, who contributed 
poems to several leading magazines under an assumed name; 
James H. Blount, who was Congressman from his district for 
18 years. There was Jesse L. Bunkley, whose case of mistaken 
identity is famous in the annals of law. These are just a few of 
the many outstanding citizens of the state who were products of 
these institutions. 

I have endeavored to show how a well developed system of 
education had evolved in Jones County before 1860. All evi¬ 
dences of these once popular schools have vanished long ago, but 
their traditions and ideals are still alive in the hearts of many

JONES COUNTY SCHOOLS — 1871-1956 

From the time the public school system was first organized in 
1871 to the present the County Board of Education has on file 
in its office at the Court House a complete record of all of its 
proceedings. 

The first County Board of Education consisted of sixteen 
members, one from each militia district. The law was soon 
changed making the legal number five as at present. Many of the 
leading citizens of the county, past and present, have served on 
the Board at some time. The county has had only five Superin¬ 
tendents, as stated before. 

Sixteen schools were operated in 1874, one in each militia dis¬ 
trict There was always a lack of funds, and the teachers had to 
wait many months for their pay. This practice continued until 
1906 when a law was passed allowing the County Boards to bor¬ 
row money to pay teachers promptly. The maximum number of 
schools at one time was reached when in 1902 there were 34 
white and 34 colored schools in Jones County. After this the 
Board began consolidations, in order to give the children better 
educational advantages. The shift in population left many areas

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


without enough pupils to have a school. The Board established 
Junior High Schools in Haddock in the eastern part of the 
county, Griswoldville in the southern part, Round Oak in the 
Northern section and Juliette in the western section. A Senior 
High School at Gray was established for all of the county and 
called Jones County High School. This school, as well as the 
others has grown considerably with added transportation, equip¬ 
ment, better buildings, auditoriums, gymnasiums and teachers. 
(Round Oak’s school was moved to Gray in 1946.) 

In 1897, the local trustees of the Gray school were, G. C. 
Smith, M. C. Greene and B. M. Greene. The Principal of the 
small school was Rev. W. T. Wagner. The building was on the 
lot where Mrs. Agnes Ezell has a home. The second school 
house was built on the present school site, which was a two-room 
wooden building and Prof. Fritz L. Ware was the Principal. The 
Gray Village Improvement Club, set out trees and shrubbery 
and erected through their own efforts a Music and Library 
building on the school grounds in 1909. In 1916 Prof. G. W. 
Glausier and three teachers asked for a larger building, and the 
local trustees, S. B. Hungerford, F. M. Stewart, T. S. Bush and 
J. W. Bonner as a committee got the new building, and in 1917 
school started in this new brick building. In Sept. 1917, Supt. 
U. S. Lancaster in 1918 got the school placed on the Accredited 
List, Group 2 for three years. In 1919 it was placed on Group 1, 
Accredited List. In 1918, Supt. Lancaster had as his assistants, 
Miss May Stewart, Miss Mary Jo Barron, Miss Sarah Smith. 
The enrollment was 120 and the term was nine months, and a 
music teacher was added to the faculty. The women teachers 
received a salary of $40.00 a month. 

In 1932, W. E. Knox was elected Superintendent of Jones 
County Schools, and has expanded the Jones County educational 
program to the point where the school buildings and program 
are about second to none in Georgia. Negro schools have been 
consolidated and three new modern brick buildings were complet¬ 
ed in 1955. The school bus transportation in the county is mod¬ 
ern anl efficient. The County High School has twelve grades, vo¬ 
cational training, a business course, home economics and a va¬ 
riety of extra-curricula activities. The Beta Club, the Hi-Y and

Tri-Hi-Y Clubs, Future Teachers, Future Home Makers Club, 
Glee Club, Future Farmers and the Band, are all school organ¬ 
izations. The Basket-ball and football teams are a part of the 
school activities and create a fine school spirit.

soon elected County School Superintendent. He made many im¬ 
provements in the schools by having each school start a library, 
by raising the standards of teachers, by better sanitary condi¬ 
tions, associated activities and better equipment. The small 
amount of money was used wisely and well. Rev. Sammons

administered by Mercer University. The Gray “will”, may be 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY

read in this book and in it the fund is described. About two hund¬ 
red boys from Jones County have directly benefited from this 
fund. 

The second fund was left by Hugh Moss Comer and the Com¬ 
er family has preference in using this. 

The third educational fund was left by Mrs. Addie White 
Redding, and only the interest may be used. The fund says it is 
for “needy and worthy girls”, of Jones County, but she states 
that the descendants of the White family have preference in the 
loan of this fund. It is to be paid back at low interest after the 
recipient has graduated, or is working. 

The fourth fund is known as, “The Morton Johnson Scholar¬ 
ship Fund”, to be used for higher education of deserving boys 
and girls of Jones County, and is a gift, the recipient to be select¬ 
ed by the Officers of the Oliver Morton Chapter D. A. R. each 
year. It is administered by F. M. Stewart, Jr., Gray, Ga. 

There is also a “Mae Stewart Scholarship”, for use of Jones 
County boys and girls. This fund named in honor of Miss Mae 
Stewart, a retired teacher of Jones County High School at Gray. 


Chapter XIX 


History of Churches in 
Jones County 

At first there were no organized churches. Everyone worked 
so hard for a livelihood they had little time to build churches. 
People were widely scattered. Some kept their membership in 
their old home counties. There was a constant threat of Indians 
only a few miles away. The first meeting houses were built as 
much to have social gatherings, as to worship God. The loneli¬ 
ness of the early pioneers had a great need for young and old 
to get together. Then came the day of the itinerant preacher. On 
the day of the declaration of the War of 1812 meetings were 
held for prayer and there was a dread in every heart. 

There were the circuit riders with meager salaries and many 
hardships. One of the early riders was Rev. James B. Payne as 
Ocmulgee Circuit Pastor, Methodist. There were others, among 
them, Edmond Talbot a cousin of Hon. Matthew Talbot, Gov., 
who preached in Jones County from 1809-1830. He moved 
to Henry County, Ala. and at the age of eighty-six died 
in 1853. Henry Hooten was a pioneer preacher here and 
started the Elam Baptist church. John and Benjamin Milner 
were outstanding preachers at Blountsville Baptist church. Isham 
Reese preached near the Joe Day place and is buried there. 
There are many others of whom there is no record available. 
Rev. Thomas Bog Slade was a minister as well as an educator, 
and was known to preach in many churches without any remun¬ 
eration for his services. Rev. Joshua S. Calloway preached here 
in 1810, died in Clayton County 1855. 

A history of the white churches will be found in this chapter, 
and a list of the colored churches, of which no histories were re¬ 
corded.

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


EAST JULIETTE CHURCH 
In 1898 an interdenominational church was built in East Juli¬ 
ette, then called Glover’s Mill. This church was also used as a 
school until 1915 or 1916. The church has often been used by 
Free Will Baptists, Holiness, Church of God and regularly by 
the Missionary Baptists and Primitive Baptists. This church was 
burned in 1915 and a small new church was built by the Juliette 
Milling Company. Rev. Minter served the church for 20 years. 
Elder E. J. Maddox of Chester, Ga., a Primitive Baptist preach¬ 
er served the church 18 years. Rev. H. P. McDonald from Well- 
iston, Fla. preached here for several years. 

The first church was called Glover’s because he had the build¬ 
ing put up. When Glover sold out holdings in Juliette and the 
old church burned, the new church was called Juliette Baptist 
Church. The Juliette Milling Co. gave the land and the present 
building. The Presbytery was, Rev. W. O. Sharp, Rev. C. W. 
Rowe, Rev. J. C. Aloneson, Rev. J. T. Cooper. Some of the 
early members were, J. T. Pritchett, Elbert Kent, T. J. Wilson,

ELAM BAPTIST CHURCH 
Henry Hooten, a pioneer settler of Jones County, Georgia 
was born in Bertie County, N. C. and came from Washington 
County, Ga. to Jones County in 1807. 

Mr. Hooten, early in life was a Methodist and leader in that 
denomination. Later he became a member of the Baptist Church 
and through his efforts the Elam Baptist Church was established. 

According to early records this Church was established be¬ 
tween 1808 and 1810 and was known as Hooten’s Meeting 
House. The deed made July 8, 1812 by Henry Hooten to the 
church designates Elam as the name of the Church. (Deed Book 
E, page 219, Clerk Superior Court, Jones County, Ga.) Upon 
this original tract of 3^4 acres is located the present church 
building. 

Henry Hooten lived on his farm near the church and was 
pastor for a number of years. During his leadership three great

revivals brought many into the fold, and he was instrumental in 
bringing into the gospel field six or seven ministers. 

Little is known of the early history of the church. As a mem¬ 
ber of the Ocmulgee Association for a half century, the church 
entertained this body in 1817, 1833, and 1852. Elam’s messen¬ 
gers to the association in 1834 were George Dunken and John 
French; from 1842 through 1854 the Associational messengers 
were Joseph Stallworth, Oliver H. Morton, Taylor Morris, 
Chapman Cox, G. Wright and J. Middlebrooks. 

A split occurred in the church previous to the Civil War 
period, over the question of foreign Missions. Many who ob¬ 
jected to the cause of foreign missions withdrew and formed a 
separate church known as Mt. Zion Primitive Baptist. Those 
remaining constituted themselves as the Elam Missionary Bap¬ 
tist Church. 

The number of members in 1854 is given as 86; in 1867 there 
were 12 white and 12 negro members. There is a gradual in¬ 
crease in the past 72 years and today approximately 150 mem¬ 
bers are enrolled. 

Of those serving as pastors prior to the foreign missionary 
development, scarcely anything is known. Henry Hooten is be¬ 
lieved to be the first pastor and Edmund Talbot, another Jones 
County pioneer Baptist minister probably served this Church 
during the first years of its existence. The names of Joshua 
Callaway and Jno. M. Gray appear in 1821, and it was by Rev. 
Jesse Campbell that Thomas Slade was baptized at Elam in 
1832. Mr. Slade then a noted educator of Georgia was after¬ 
wards ordained as a minister of the gospel. The ordination took 
place in Clinton in 1835. 

Those serving the church as missionary Baptist ministers are: 
A. J. Freeman, 1867-1870; P. W. Edge, 1871-1873; J. W. 
Butts, 1874-1875; L. W. Smith, 1876-1878; J. H. Allen, 1879; 
Jno. F. Eden, 1880; R. E. Murrow, 1881; E. W. Sammons,

It is known that two buildings have been used for houses of 
worship. The present structure a substantial frame meeting house 
type of architecture was built in 1893, having replaced an old 
frame building of similar type and construction. In 1928, an 
annex to the present building was made to take care of the 
church school needs and other repairs and improvements were 
made of the church property. 

Elam, along with many other Georgia Churches was mutilated 
by the invading Northern Army in the fall of 1864. The pews 
were used for horse troughs and other abuse was suffered by this 
old church from the hands of the public enemy. 

Two pastors, E. E. Steele and C. H. Anderson have gone 
from Elam to serve as missionaries to China. A daughter, of 
the church, Leila Burnette Steele, also spent many years as a 
missionary to the Chinese. 

W. C. Felts was ordained as a minister at Elam, July 8, 1877. 
Mr. Felts afterwards served as pastor of the Church. 

For 144 years this Baptist Church set among a background 
of old trees and green shrubbery just off the highway from Gray 
to James has been doing its part towards ushering in the Mas¬ 
ter’s Kingdom on earth. An air of quiet grace and serenity, the 
Crown of a long and useful life seems to eminate from this 
historic spot. 

Those serving Elam Church as clerks are: 

W. C. Felts, 1874; S. M. Bozeman, 1875-1880; E. K. Grigs¬ 
by, 1881; J. B. Edwards, 1882-1884; J. C. Emerson, 1884- 
1885; J. W. Owens, 1886; J. P. Owen, 1887-1891; E. K. Grigs¬

1912-1914; J. C. Balkcom, 1921-1930; Claude Watson, 1938. 

SARDIS CHURCH 

Denomination: Congregational Methodist — organized as 
Methodist Episcopal in 1838. 

One log and two frame houses have been used for churches. 
Present building is simple frame meeting house type, tin roof, 
painted inside and out, neat home made benches, varnished; and 
a piano for musical purposes. No bell, cornerstone or memorial 
windows.

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Dedicated Aug. 5, 1927. 

No record found as to who the early pastors were. Rev. J. F. 
Holloman, Gray, R.F.D. #2 is present pastor (1938). Names 
of some of the pastors are: Revs. McKissick, Harvey, Harde¬ 
man, Freeman, Jones, Thurman, Stocks, Cooner, Black. 

Sardis Congregational Methodist Church is located about 
seven miles southwest of Gray. The first location was near 
Dames Ferry on the Oomulgee River. James Jones (father of 
Major Jones and the great-grandfather of Rev. Broadus Jones, 
Miss. Baptist Minister), gave to the trustees of the Methodist 
Episcopal Church three acres of land in 1838, and George Mc¬ 
Kay donated and moved from his place an old log house to be 
used for a church. The first trustees were Luten Braddy, Abso- 
lom Finnell, William Vanzant, Jarret Vanzant and Wiley Brad¬ 
dy. 

In 1927 this new site was selected. Mrs. M. E. Williams gave 
an acre of land. Rev. J. F. Holloman and W. W. Jackson acted 
as building committee. Public spirited citizens gave material for 
building and friends and members of the church did the work. 

Sardis was organized in 1838 as a Methodist Episcopal 
church. A record of 1891 shows the church along with Saint 
Luke, Liberty Roberts Chapel and Plentitude in the Ocmulgee 
Mission, Oxford district, North Georgia Conference, with W. O. 
King as pastor and R. Bigham, presiding elder. It is not definite¬ 
ly known when it became Congregational Methodist. 

A large church cemetery is at the site of the old building. One 
person is buried at present site. 

Only one other minister besides the Rev. Mr. Holloman has 
served as pastor in the present building. 

About forty persons constitute the membership in this little 
rural church. 

NEW HOPE PRIMITIVE BAPTIST CHURCH 
(CANEY CREEK) 

New Hope Primitive Baptist Church is in Jones County, near 
Round Oak, Ga., R.F.D. It was organized on Feb. 6, 1813, and 
has always functioned. There have been two previous buildings. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


311 


First house made of logs erected in the fall of 1815. Alsey Gam- 
mage was builder. The floor and seats were made of planks. 

The second house, a frame building, replaced the log house in 
1833. This building was used as a house of worship until 1905, 
when it was torn down and part of the material used in the 
construction of the present house. Each church has stood on the 
original tracts of land, but not on the identical sites. 

Records do not give dates of dedication consecration of pres¬ 
ent building. 

The building is the usual type for the old time rural church. 
Two entrances in the front and two doors open on steps leading 
out of the building back of the pulpit. The white building, with 
its green blinds makes a pretty setting in a forest of original 
timbers. A raised pulpit and sturdily built seats, form the furnish¬ 
ings. There is no bell, memorial windows or musical instruments. 

The first settled clergyman was Absalom Brown, tenure 1813- 
1814, his educational background is not known. Other pastors 
besides Absolom Brown are: Elder Macklemore, 1815-1818; 
John M. Gray, 1819-1825; James Henderson, 1826-1827; Wil¬ 
liam Henderson, 1828 until his death on Feb. 18, 1832; Thomas 
C. Trice, Mar. 1832-1837; Francis Douglas, 1838-1844; Wil¬ 
liam M. Cooper, 1845; Francis Douglas, 1846-1847; John Mul¬ 
lins of Monroe County, Ga., 1848-1857; John Simmons, 1858- 
1871; T. J. Bazemore, 1872-1880; John H. Gresham, 1881- 
Mar. 1920; Elder B. F. Williamson, Lizella, Ga., 1920—. 

There are three Minute Books: “Letter Books,” 1813-1881; 
two volumes not a title, 1882-1922; 1923—; size 12”x8”xl”. 
200 pages, all handwritten contents give articles of Faith, Gos¬ 
pel Order, By-Laws, Order of Business, Church Membership 
roll, proceedings of church conferences. The three records 1813- 
1881; 1882-1922; 1923—, are kept in home of B. R. Jarrel, 
near Round Oak, Ga., Church Clerk. 

The three volumes of minutes 1813-1881; 1882-1922; 1923—; 
have record of baptisms, members and deaths. 

Primitive Baptists do not have Sunday School or other organi¬ 
zations.

There are no separate financial records. Finances are minor 
details in Primitive Baptist Churches. Record in Minutes 1812- 
1881; 1882-1922; 1923—. 

No published, nor unpublished historical sketches. 

The Constituting Presbytery consisted of Elders Joel Willis, 
Abraham Brown and William Jones. These elders were 
representatives from the County Line, Y\ alnut Creek and Bethel 
Churches. New Hope was constituted upon old line Primitive 
Baptist principles, practices, belief and Bible doctrines. 

Twenty sturdy pioneer settlers banded themselves under the 
Constitution. These were: John Kelly, Mack Patterson, Bryan 
Lee, Isaiah Packer, Isham Meadows, Hannah Kelly, Lane Jacob, 
Sarah Patterson, Elizabeth Lee, Lucy Packer, William Brooks, 
William Hadman, Daniel Packer, Henry Mitchell, Isham 
Brooks, Winney Short, Catherine Groves, Dicey Parker, Sarah 
Mitchell and Agnes Brooks. 

The first service after the constituting of Church was held in 
March 1813. Two deacons were chosen at that meeting. Bryan 
Lee and Isaiah Packer; John Kelly and Isaiah Packer were set 
apart as preachers of the Gospel. At later periods three other 
men gave themselves to the ministry, these were: John H. Gres¬ 
ham, ordained in New Hope Church, October 1875, John T. 
Glover, April 23, 1892, and William J. Green, April 27, 1901. 

Plans were made at a church conference held in September, 
1815, towards the erection of a building. Commissioners were 
chosen by the church and subscriptions ordered to be made for 
the building. A tract of land for a building site was purchased 
from John Mullins and Edward Brooks. Alsey Gammage built 
the crude church which was a log house, hewn from the sturdy 
forests of the Community. The floor and seats were made of 
planks. 

Financial conditions improved in the community and in 1833 
an addition of one-half acre of land was given by Giles Driver 
and Green Miller for the erection of a substantial framehouse. 
I his building stood for a period of seventy-two years. In 1905 
this house was torn down and a part of the material used in the 
present building. B. R. Jarrell was contractor for the new build¬ 
ing.

B. R. Jarrell, Nov. 1901—. Mr. Jarrell has a service record 
of thirty-one years. 

Fourteen pastors have served the church since its organiza¬ 
tion. Elder John H. Gresham has the longest record for service, 
having been pastor for forty years. 

New Hope Church through its period of one-hundred-twenty- 
five years has had a large membership. In maintaining church 
order she has had to try and exclude some members upon the 
charges of adultry, slander, intoxication, falsehoods, non-attend¬ 
ance, profanity, dancing, selling on the Sabbath, and false re¬ 
ports. One member whose wife had undergone a trial before 
the church keenly felt the injustice of the trial and for a remark 
to the effect—that he had rather be tried in the Federal Courts 
than New Hope Church, he too, was expelled. 

New Hope belongs to the Ocmulgee Primitive Baptist Asso¬ 
ciation. The church has entertained this body for a number of 
times. 

New Hope is located about fourteen miles northwest of 
Gray. Across the road from the church is a large cemetery. 
Resting there are many Confederate Veterans, pioneer settlers 
and their negro slaves.

bury, Liberty County, by Rev. James Shannon who subsequently 
filled in our state University the chair of Ancient Language. 
Later Mr. Campbell had a short course at the Georgia State 
University. His theological study was under Rev. A. Sherwood, 
D.D.; Eatonton, Ga. He was ordained at Sunbury, 1830. Preach¬ 
ed in Macon 1831. Settled next in Jones County, Clinton, Ga., 
where he resided eleven years preaching in the village and the 
surrounding county.

ganized in Jones County, Georgia between 1809-1814. This 
early church was located on the east bank of Commissioners 
Creek, near the old woolen mill site. A deed to two and eight- 
tenths acres of land adjacent to the meeting house and spring 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


317 


was made by Abner Davis to The Flat Shoals Church April 2, 
1814. Edmund Talbot and Ichabod Cox were witnesses to the 
deed. 

About 1834 a great missionary movement swept the county 
and soon thereafter a split occurred in the Flat Shoals Church 
which resulted in the organization of Salem Missionary Baptist. 
It was on a Saturday, July 6, 1839 at a meeting held in home of 
Peter Northern, that several persons presented letters of dis¬ 
mission from Flat Shoals and expressed a desire to covenant to¬ 
gether to keep house for God. These persons were Peter North¬ 
ern, Lee Duncan, C. C. Gibbs, Louiza M. Northern, Susan 
Sharp, Matilda Chambliss, Louisa A. Bivins, Lorane M. North¬ 
ern and Sarah A. M. Northern. 

Articles of faith being presented and read, they were declared 
orthodox by the brethren and ministers present. Prayer was 
offered by Brother Austin Ellis and this little band was consti¬ 
tuted a Church of Jesus Christ. The ministers present at the 
organization were Jesse H. Campbell of Clinton, Ga.; Austin 
Ellis, Bibb County, Ga. and Thomas B. Slade of Vineville, Ma¬ 
con, Ga. 

Three acres of land were donated by Peter Northern, pro¬ 
nounced Baptist. (Mr. Northern is father of Wm. J. Northern, 
at one time Governor of Georgia.) Mr. Northern had also been 
a member of the Flat Shoals Church, having been baptized in 
1821 by Rev. Edmund Talbot, who was probably Flat Shoals 
first settled minister. 

A simple frame house was erected and named Salem; build¬ 
ing committee consisted of Peter Northern, L. L. Smith, Theo¬ 
dosius F. Turk. By the spring of 1840 the church building was 
ready for occupancy. Rev. Jesse H. Campbell was called as pas¬ 
tor and Salem the first Missionary Baptist Church in Jones 
County, became firmly established. 

Membership and church attendance increased. An annex was 
added to the building of 1860. This was used by the negro slave 
members until a letter of dismission was granted to the colored 
portion of the church in 1869 for the purpose of forming a sep¬ 
arate and independent organization. A privilege was given the 


318 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


negroes to continue using the building as a place of worship until 
their house could be completed. 

In 1878 a controversy involving church affairs took place and 
at a conference held on May 4, 1878 the church was declared 
dissolved. Immediately following this conference, about one-half 
of the members desired to reorganize and on June 14, 1879, the 
church was reconstituted. On April 23, 1880 the church was in¬ 
corporated by the Superior Court of Jones County under the 
name and style of New Salem. 

In 1893 Benjamin Finney, a friend of the church gave to New 
Salem an adjoining tract of land containing one hunderd and 
ten acres. The income from this land is used for the support and 
maintenance of the minister of said church. 

Some improvements were made on the church building in 1896. 
The old slave annex was removed, the house covered and painted 
for the first time. 

In 1844 and again in 1874 Salem entertained the Central 
Association. Large gatherings of prominent men were present 
on these occasions. 

Davis Duncan, in 1850; Washington Smith, 1860 were or¬ 
dained in Salem Church. 

The church granted J. E. Sharp, 1846 a license to preach. He 
served as a co-worker with Rev. Jesse H. Campbell in domestic 
missions. 

Benjamin Beck was licensed by Salem in 1865. 

The first mention of a Sunday School was in 1869. 

In the dark days of The War Between the States, Salem wa» 
not forgetful of her country and soldiers. In 1863 she passed 
resolutions to have a weekly prayer meeting to pray for the 
cause of the country and soldiers in the army, and to observe 
the Fast and Thanksgiving days appointed by the Government 
and attended the church services. 

New Salem is three miles south of Haddock and ten miles 
southeast of Gray. 

A church cemetery is nearby and in it are buried several Con¬ 
federate soldiers. 

Some of the leading and outstanding members of the church 
from the organization in 1839 are:

MOUNT ZION (PINE RIDGE CHURCH) 

A breach in the Elam Baptist Church of Jones County, over 
the interest of foreign missionary activities resulted in the or¬ 
ganization of what is known as the Mount Zion Primitive Bap¬ 
tist Church. This discord must have occurred prior to 1846, for 
it is of that year that records show Mount Zion as a member of 
the Ocmulgee Association. The association records for the years 
of 1846-1853 show the names of Hearndon Patterson, Gillis 
Wright, Mose Stripling, Wiley Patterson and Caswell Had¬ 
dock, as Church messengers. 

Other pioneer members were: Mrs. James Finney, Mrs. A. J. 
Turner, Tabithy Jolly, A. J. Middlebrooks, Susan Barnes, Kittie 
Juhan, Early Batchelor, Moses Wilson, and the Taylor Morris

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Brown of Fortville community, afterwards becoming the prop¬ 
erty of a Mrs. Cox. He was a good blacksmith, a reliable and 
faithful negro. He always attended the meetings of Mount Zion 
Church, taking his seat in the place reserved for negroes. He 
lived many years after freedom and remained a faithful member 
of this church until he died. 

Rev. Jimmie Stewart of Jasper County was an early pastor. 
Others who filled the pulpit on many occasions were David 
Hitchcock of Putnam County, John Fields of Bibb, Dick Bassett 
of Houston and William Denning of Jones. 

In 1865 Mount Zion called the ordination of J. H. Gresham, 
and for the succeeding 44 years, this man served as pastor. B. F. 
Williamson was pastor for 1921-1925; Elder P. H. Byrd was 
called as pastor in 1926, and has faithfully served the church 
for thirteen years. 

Some of the Church Clerks have been: Early Bachelor, 
1885-1886; A. J. Middlebrooks, 1887-1888; C. W. Bragg, 1906- 
1911 ;J. R. Childs, 1912-1913, 1922-1924; W. W. James, 1914- 
1921; B. M. Green, 1925 to Aug. 1938; Dec. 1938—; G. W. 
Childs, Aug. 1938 to Dec. 1938. The present clerk is B. M. 
Green, Gray, Georgia. 

The church lot consists of 5.9 acres. No record is found show¬ 
ing from whom a portion of this lot was secured. Two and a 
half acres of this tract was given Oct. 19, 1884, by J. T. Finney 
to the Church trustees, A. J. Middlebrooks, M. P. Wilson and 
Early Bachelor. 

On this original location has stood two church buildings. The 
first was built of heavy log timbers, well and strongly put to¬ 
gether. It had no ceiling; a large high box pulpit was built a 
little to one side of the center of the building, with benches 
placed in rows in front and on the sides for whites, and in the 
rear for the negroes. The benches were plain with backs to them. 
The women usually sat on one side and the men on the other. 
This old log building was replaced by a large frame meeting 
house type building of good dimensions and workmanship. 

Of great importance in the church have been the associations 
and general meetings held there. Able ministers filled the pulpit 
on these occasions. When the association held there in 1862, 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


321 


Elder J. H. Montgomery was Moderator, H. Patterson, clerk; 
1878, 1888, 1900, Elder D. L. Hitchcock, Moderator; D. G. 
McCowen, clerk; 1910, 1918, Elder J. H. Gresham, Moderator 
and J. W. Newton, clerk; other dates include 1926 and 1935. 

An old newspaper article describes in part these pioneer gath¬ 
erings giving a true picture of a rural church gathering in the 
long ago. The general meetings and associations lasted through 
Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The work of the association was 
transacted on the first two days, but a sermon was preached in 
the forenoon and sometimes two in the afternoon. Singing hymns 
was indulged in during each service. At noon a recess was taken 
and everyone on the grounds had dinner. These dinners were 
immense affairs, and was usually carried in baskets to the church 
grounds by those who lived nearby, and plenty was carried for 
all. Each one vied with the other in seeking for and inviting to 
dinner all who came. None went away hungry, servants as well 
as masters were feasted and an abundance left. These were great 
dinners, barbecued pig, mutton, beef, chicken pies, fried chicken, 
corn bread, light bread, cakes of different kinds, custards, pies, 
preserves, milk, butter and pickles, all cooked and prepared as 
only such southern housewives and their servants of this time 
could cook. 

Here came the rich planter with his family in his carriage, the 
more moderate farmer in his buggy, the poorer ones in their ox 
carts, and wagons, and even some afoot. Young men usually 
came on horseback, accompanied by their best girl, likewise on 
horseback. They came and came until the woods around the 
church seemed to be literally alive with horses and mules. 

The singing was indulged in by all the congregation, with all 
manner of voices—from the deep bass of the men to the shrill 
tenor of Sister Jolly. 

A 1938 gathering is much the same except motor vehicles 
have replaced the mode of travel of former days, and the old 
forest surrounding the church has been cleared away. 

The 1846 record shows the church had a membership of 32; 
the 1938 roll includes a membership of 21 men and 39 women.

This church is located three miles east of Gray on the high hill

SAINT LUKE METHODIST 

In 1883 the North Georgia Annual Conference of the Meth¬ 
odist Episcopal Church, South, formed the Ocmulgee Mission in 
Jones County. Said Mission to extend from Old Liberty Church 
southward to the Roberts School Home embracing the follow¬ 
ing communities, Plentitude, Liberty, Stripling and Roberts. 

C. C. Davis was appointed by the presiding elder as pastor 
in charge. Reverend Davis entered on the work on the first 
Sunday in February, 1884, receiving a cordial welcome from 
the people everywhere. The work was unorganized yet the field 
seemed white unto the harvest. Appointments were made and 
plans started towards the building of a church at Striplings, later 
fulfilled, and the house named Saint Luke. The building com¬ 
mittee was composed of Thos. R. Stripling, Wm. J. Hudson, 
Membrance Williams, Joshua Harris and Luke Smith. 

On September 26, 1884, T. R. Stripling, Mary Page and 
Membrance Williams deeded to Thos. R. Stripling, Wiley H. 
Holsenbeck, H. L. Smith, Joshua Harris, Wm. J. Hudson, trus¬ 
tees of a religious denomination known as the Methodist Epis¬ 
copal Church, South, three and three-fourths acres of land about 
6 miles southwest of Clinton, situated on the Clinton, Macon 
road. Consideration being $25.00 (Deed Book V, page 325). On 
this property, Saint Luke was erected. 

For some years after the church was established it remained 
a mission. 

Rev. J. A. Seals was pastor at that time. He was succeeded by 
G. W. Farr, 1896-1899; F. W. McClesky, 1900; J. P. Erwin, 
1901-1904; R. R. Smith, 1905-1906; D. B. Cantrell, 1907-1908; 
B. H. Mobley, 1909-1910; W. W. Burgess, 1911-1913; J. M. 
Sewell, 1914-1917. 

In the fall of 1917 St. Luke was transferred from the North 
Georgia Conference to the South Georgia Conference. To this 
work was sent H. Billingslea, served as pastor for 1918-1919. 
T. W. Ellis was pastor in 1920. The annual Conference made 


324 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


another change about that year and St. Luke came back to the 
North Georgia Conference and had for the pastor Rev. C. T. 
Ivey, 1921-1924. 

When the Annual Conference met in the fall of 1924, St. 
Luke was again a part of the South Georgia Conference, and 
these serving as pastors for a period covering approximately 
five years were L. M. Spivey, G. M. Spivey and Reverend Por¬ 
terfield. It was while Mr. Porterfield was pastor that the church 
died spiritually, no service having been held since. (Church was 
torn down.) 

In 1910 sixty-five names appear on the church register. The 
names of Striplings, Roberts, Brooks, Brown, Hudson, Lifsey, 
Harris, Elder, Dees, Cook, Green, Ross, Bowen and Hammock 
composed this group of sixty-five. 

There is no nearby church cemetery. This abandoned church 
has in days past served well the community. 

FORTVILLE AND HADDOCK METHODIST 
CHURCH 

Among the old landmarks of Jones County is what is called 
“Old Fort” and later Fortville. The Haddock Methodist 
Church w’as formerly located at Fortville which is two miles 
northwest of the village of Haddock. 

It was on the site of this early Indian trading post or forti¬ 
fication that a pioneer Methodist Church was erected. Documen¬ 
tary evidence shows there was an established Methodist Church 
as early as 1832. (Inferior Court County Affairs, 1829-1842, 
page 35.) For many years this was one of the largest and best 
rural churches in middle Georgia. 

Fortville Methodist Church formed an important part of 
old Clinton circuit and was served by preachers of recognized 
ability, some of whom attained distinction in after years. 

There have been great meetings at the old church and men 
and women converted there have gone out to be a blessing to the 
world. It would be impossible to overestimate the moral value 
to the community and to the whole of Jones County of the in¬ 
fluence which emanated from the old Fortville Church. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY

In 1879, under the pastorate of Rev. George E. Bonner, the 
old Church that stood nearby opposite a large Indian Mound, 
was torn down and replaced by a neat and comfortable chapel. 
A deed to the land was made September 2, 1879 (Deed Book 
U, page 50). B. F. Ross, W. A. Chambers, John R. Bonner, 
Jas. T. Finney, J. L. White, Jas. D. Godard and Jno. S. Lewis, 
were named as trustees of the church property. 

The dedication of this attractive, well-built rural church took 
place on the third Sunday in June 1883, by Rev. Jesse Boring, 
Presiding Elder. 

It was under the pastorate of Fred W. McClesky, in 1900, 
that a movement was started towards the removal of the Fort- 
ville Church and building to the nearby village of Haddock. Tn 
September of that year the building was torn down and the ma¬ 
terial used in the construction of the first church erected for 
white people in Haddock. This building a modern frame house 
was located near the business section of the little village. (Deed 
record, Book “Y,” Page 289.) 

The name was changed from Fortville to Haddock Metho¬ 
dist. The building committee was J. T. Finney, J. D. Anchors, 
J. A. Pitts, R. C. Lester, Jno. R. Bonner, and H. J. Finney. 
This little frame church when completed was valued at $1,350. 
Rev. J. P. Erwin conducted the first service in the church, De¬ 
cember 23, 1900. 

The location of the first church in Haddock was not desirable 
for a church. The building and lot were sold and the selection 
of a second site in Haddock was made early in 1913. A small 
tract of land was purchased from X. C. Pitts for $300. (Deed 
Record Book BB, page 270.) A substantial building of red brick 
valued at $4,000 was erected thereon, and stands as a monu- 
men to the loyalty of the little band of Methodists at Haddock 
and the liberality and cooperation of the members of other 
churches. The building committee was: J. T. Finney, T. R. 
Turner, J. A. Pitts, J. A. Middlebrooks, S. H. Haddock, A. 
Ernest. This committee was assisted by Mrs. J. A. Pitts, Mrs. 
S. H. Haddock. Mr. R. B. Bonner, Mrs. D. D. Bachelor, and 
Miss Gussie Finney.

The laying of the cornerstone of the new brick building took 
place on Wednesday, March 26, 1913. Participating in the exer¬ 
cises were Dr. Dickey, Pres, of Emory University, Doctor Quil- 
lian, Pres. Elder, and Rev. A. Ernest, pastor in charge. 

The building was ready for occupancy on the fourth Sunday 
in June, 1913. 

The dedication took place on Sunday, October 28, 1923. Dr. 
Wasson, pastor of the first Methodist Church of Athens, 
preached. 

It is believed that the fourth Sunday in each month has been 
the regular preaching Sunday for the Fortville and Haddock 
Churches for more than a hundred years. 

Some of the pioneer worshippers at the Fortville Church in¬ 
clude the Hutchings, Lesters, Moughons, Stewarts, Pitts, Mer¬ 
cers, Gordons, Browns, Cathings, Morris, Lowes, Lamars, Jar- 
retts, Blanfords, Wrights, Tufts, Woodalls, Millers, Bonners, 
Moores, Singletons, Barfields, Bullingtons, Blows and God¬ 
ards. 

The Fortville Cemetery is located near the site of the early 
Church. In it are buried many Confederate Veterans (see Cem¬ 
eteries) .

Methodist Church at Clinton built about 1810 


THE CLINTON METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH 

Early documentary records give proof that the Clinton Meth¬ 
odist Church was made by the Justices of the Inferior Court 
the first established Methodist Church. 

At the July 1810 Term of the Inferior Court of Jones Coun¬ 
ty the presiding Justices appropriated to the use of the “Metho¬ 
dist connection” in the town of Clinton, one acre of land ad¬ 
joining the one already laid out. What type of building erected 
on this lot and used by these early Methodist, nothing is known. 



328 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


It was not until July 14, 1821, that a deed to the Clinton Meth¬ 
odist Church was made by the Justices of the Inferior Court 
to William Flewellen, Elisha Tarver, Peter Clower, James Jones 
and Pierce A. Lewis as Trustees of the church. One hundred 
dollars was the consideration for the four acres of land. (Deed 
Book “M”, p. 106.) 

It is thought that the present structure was erected at this 
period (1821). This church is a frame house of good dimensions 
with substantial stone steps from the native granite. A steeple 
is overhead. The windows are large and wide. Double doors 
form the main entrance, and two doors on either side near the 
pulpit furnish other exits. There are two aisles leading from 
the large double front doors down to the altar which surround 
a raised pulpit. On each side of these aisles and next to the walls 
are rows of short benches. In the center between the aisles are 
long benches. 

A large gallery which was reached by steps from the front 
extended over the front part of the church and was for the use 
of the negro slaves. Years after the negroes became free (1896) 
the gallery was removed, the church cut down and remodeled 
until this present structure does not appear as the up-to-date 
church af 1821. 

Records tell little of the early activities, and those forming 
the membership. In 1837 the names of Abner H. Flewellen, 
John Pitts, Kinchen P. Thweat, Archibald Jarratt and Anderson 
Rice appear as Trustees of the church property. 

In 1860 are found the names of Richard Wyatt Bonner, Isaac 
Hardeman, Henry Gibson, Peyton T. Pitts, Sr., and Joshua 
Godard as Trustees of an additional lot given by Shadrack Slat- 
ter, Elizabeth Lowther and Jonathan Parrish, said property to 
be used for a church or parsonage. 

Clinton Church stewards in 1875 were R. H. Barron and Dr. 
Asbury Kingman. On the church membership roll were the names 
of R. H. Barron, Richard Henry Bonner, Doctor Asbury King- 
man, J. W. Stubbs, Elbert Catchings, Chas. Redding, Pratt 
Griswold, Doctor George Pursley, Robt. V. Hardeman, Robt. 
Finney, W. H. Holsenbeck and Roland T. Ross. The good 
women were Ellen Barron, Anna Catchings, Drucilla Childs,

son, C. E. Kingman, Matilda Lowe, Lucinda Mason, Elizabeth

Stubbs, Elvina Stubbs, Jane Thigpen, Carrie Thigpen, Mary 
Jones, Ardicia Pursley, Mrs. Fannie Ross and Helen Eudora 
Holsenbeck, and others. 

Nothing is known as to the number of ministers serving as 
pastors of this old church from its beginning. The name of Rev¬ 
erend James Payne appears as pastor in 1836; W. R. Branham 
1839. During that year George F. Pierce assisted Reverend 
Branham in a revival in Clinton. Reverend A. M. Thigpen was 
a result of this revival. 

Thos. J. Christian, 1860; J. P. McGehee, 1861-1862. The 
labors of these two men resulted in the building of an outstand¬ 
ing church in the County, Pitts Chapel. 

Wesley P. Arnold, 1865-1869. Mr. Arnold died while sta¬ 
tioned on the Clinton circuit. His grave is between four granite 
posts, connected by iron bars, near the door of Clinton Church. 
In 1870 C. A. Mitchell was sent to the Clinton Church. In the 
summer of that year glorious revivals were held and many were 
converted. 

J. M. Armstrong was pastor in 1871. He was a fine scholar 
and able preacher. 

In 1872, W. J. Hanson served the church. Mr. Hanson after¬ 
wards became a missionery to China. 

J. Carr was pastor in 1873-1874. 

In 1875 the Clinton Church and circuit was supplied by Rev. 
John Knight. Mr. Knight who early in life was an infidel, had 
worked at a tailor’s trade in Clinton. In 1835 during a revival 
in the Clinton Church, he was converted. His life and labors 
afterwards were given to the furthering of God’s kingdom. 
When Mr. Knight came as pastor of the Clinton Church it had 
declined in spiritual power,—some of her best members had gone 
to Macon, Ga. Mr. Knight labored hard. He had little success. 

In 1876-1877 W. T. McMichael was pastor. 

In 1878-1880 the church and circuit had Reverend George E. 
Bonner, a faithful worker, very popular, and during his admin¬ 
istration of three years the church moved up and he left it in 


330 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


a much better condition than he found it. It was about this time 
that Sam P. Jones conducted an outstanding revival in the Clin¬ 
ton Church. 

In 1881, D. J. Weems was pastor. He was a graduate of 
Emory College, a fearless consecrated man. Reverend A. W. 
Williams was pastor in 1882. In 1883-1884, W. D. Shea served 
the church and circuit. In 1885, Rev. W. F. Smith labored zeal¬ 
ously among the people of the circuit and Clinton Church. In 
1886, L. P. Neese was pastor. Reverend M. A. Phillips, 1887- 
1888. He was a quiet and unassuming man, and loved by the 
people. In 1889-1890, Ellison R. Cook was on the work. Mr. 
Cook afterwards became a successful Presiding Elder. In 1891, 
T. J. Richardson was pastor. In 1892-1893, M. H. Edwards 
served the church. He was a good man, good worker, and met 
with fair success. In 1894-1895, J. A. Seals was pastor. In 1896- 

1899, G. W. Farr was the popular and successful minister. In 

1900, Fred W. McClesky served as pastor. He was a splendid 
preacher, being one of the best pulpit orators Clinton Church 
ever had. 

Others pastors were as follows: J. P. Erwin, 1901-1904; R. F. 
Smith, 1905-1906; D. B. Cantrell, 1907-1908; B. H. Mobley, 
1909-1910; W. W. Burgess, 1911-1913; J. M. Sewell, 1914- 
1917; Robert Claude Singleton, 1933-1935; G. M. Cowart, 
1936-1937; Oscar Jackson Withrow, 1938-1940; Harry L. 
Mitcham, 1941—. 

Presiding Elders: Geo. W. Yarborough, 1875-1877; Jesse 
Boring, 1878; James E. Evans, 1879; W. F. Cook, 1880-1881; 
R. W. Bingham, 1882; Geo. H. Patillo, 1883-1884; Walker

Prade, Jr., 1933-1934; Wallace Rogers, 1935-1937; T. M. Sul¬ 
livan, 1938—. 

From 1920 to 1933 the church had no regular pastor. The 
old Clinton circuit having been discontinued at that time and it 
was not until 1933 that it was reorganized and became a part 
of the Gray charge. Forty members constitute the membership.

Near the church are two old cemeteries. There under a wilder¬ 
ness of growth and the large magnificent forest trees, lie the 
bodies of some of the best citizens of Georgia—, the men and 
women who in their time made Clinton and Jones County a 
better place to live. Many old graves in both cemeteries are un¬ 
marked and are utterly obliterated so far as an outsward sign 
or marks are concerned. The dates on the tombs show that the 
old cemetery was used as far back as 1812. The wooden fences 
enclosing many of the graves have fallen away and a wilderness 
of bushes and briars have grown up above the graves and even 
great trees have grown up in some of the enclosures, their roots 
and branches have even prized apart the large cemented rocks 
which compose the walls of some of these enclosures. 

Here and there are heavy iron fences, and even they are not 
spared by the hand of time and decay. A record of this old cem¬ 
etery is in this book. 

This church was one of the first to organize in North Georgia 
a Foreign Missionary Society. 

BRADLEY BAPTIST CHURCH 

The Bradley Baptist Church was organized August 18, 1891, 
in a meeting held in the school house at Wayside, Ga., and was 
first known by the name of Wayside Baptist Church. 

Presenting their letters for church membership were Mrs. 
C. M. Little, William E. Whitehead and Mrs. William E. 
Whitehead. On these letters the three named persons were con¬ 
stituted into a Missionary Baptist church and recognized as such 
when the hand and fellowship was extended to them by the 
Presbytery which consisted of S. A. Burney and J. C. Burton. 

The growth of the church was slow and it was probably due 
to that fact that this very small band at Wayside were unable 
to build a house of worship. 

The communities of Bradley and Gray felt the need and desire 
for a Baptist church more centrally located and a movement was 
started for that purpose. On the third Sunday in June 1897, the 
Wayside Baptist Church resolved to move their place of meet¬ 
ing from Wayside School House to Bradley, and erect a new 
place of worship at a cost of $800. 


332 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


A suitable lot at Bradley was donated July 19, 1897, by John 
W. Bradley. 

Under the leadership of Rev. W. F. Wagner, a large sub¬ 
stantial frame house was erected that year. The dedication of the 
church took place on the third Sunday in October 1897. A large 
congregation assembled for this occasion. Rev. A. J. Moncrief, 
Macon, Ga., preached the dedication sermon. 

Following the removal of the church to Bradley there was a 
noted increase in the church membership. A report to the Central 
Association which met with Bradley Baptist Church, September 
1898, showed forty-nine active members. 

The 1939 roll shows eighty-seven. The present Board of Dea¬ 
cons consists of A. L. Harris as chairman; B. F. Winters, J. J. 
Glawson, A. B. Winters and B. J. Glawson. Clerk of the church 
is A. B. Winters. 

Other clerks since organization are: W. H. Whitehead, 1891-

PITTS CHAPEL METHODIST EPISCOPAL 
CHURCH 

The first record of this church dates back to October 13, 1860, 
when three and three-fourths acres of land was purchased from 
James Wells for the purpose of erecting a Methodist Episcopal 
Church. The consideration for this small tract of land was 
$130.00. 

Upon it was erected the largest and finest church of that time 
in Jones County. 

This church located at Cross Roads in the southern part of 
the county was named Pitts Chapel for Peyton T. Pitts, Sr., who 
built it of his own means, and who was its main support until 
his death on July 1, 1855. 

Provisions for domestic and foreign missions, and a sum suffi¬ 
cient for needed repairs of the church were made by Mr. Pitts 
in his will executed September 10, 1880. 

The frame building is of choice material and shows the skill 
and workmanship of the negro builder, Owen Bostic. When com¬ 
pleted this house was valued at $2,000.00. 

The first Trustees of the church were Peyton T. Pitts, Sr., 
Thomas J. Stewart, Albert O. Blanks, Washington Kelly and 
Giles Griswold. 

Pitts Chapel formed an important part in the Clinton Circuit 
until 1918. About that time it was transferred from the Oxford 
District, North Georgia Conference to the Macon District, 
South Georgia Conference, to become a part of the Cross Keys 
Circuit. In 1884 a hundred sixteen persons formed the member¬ 
ship, some of whom were Peyton T. Pitts, Sr., Jas. W. Slocumb, 
Peyton Griswold, Crowell Woolfork, Ellen Henderson, Mary 
Martin, Mary Gibson, Thos. J. Stewart, Lizzie R. Stubbs, Eliz¬ 
abeth James, Jane Henderson and Washington Kelly. 

The present membership is small, and the community thinly 
settled. 

Pastors have been: Wesley P. Arnold, 1867-1869; C. A. 
Mitchell, 1870; Jas. M. Armstrong, 1871; W. J. Hanson, 
1872; J. Carr, 1873; John Knight, 1875; W. T. McMichael,

SUNSHINE CHURCH II 
ROUND OAK METHODIST CHURCH 
Round Oak Methodist Church was organized in 1875, is nine 
miles north of Gray in the little village of Round Oak. After 
the organization of the church, land was given by Robert J. 
Smith upon which was erected a neat substantial house of wor¬ 
ship. The building was paid for by local subscription. 

The chairman of the building committee was Robert J. Smith.

it was annexed to the Clinton Circuit. A partial list of the Elders 
presiding over the local work are: Walker Lewis, 1879; J. S. 
Bryan, 1898-1899; W. R. Foote, 1900-1902; Jno. W. Heidt,

The charters members were: R. J. Smith, Mrs. R. J. Smith, 
W. F. White, Mrs. W. F. White, Geo. B. White, Mrs, Geo. B. 
White, Joseph I. Coulter, Sallie F. Barron, Mrs. M. Goodson,

Marshall, J. W. Barron, Ben Barron, W. M. Knowles, Mrs. 
Annie Barron Williams, E. Hunt, H. C. Middlebrooks, Samuel 
Barron. 

The Woman’s Missionary Society has always carried on a 
most vital part of the church work. Pioneer Missionary Society 
Presidents were: Mrs. S. B. Smith, Mrs. J. M. Hunt and Miss 
Alice McCullough. The old reports show where Bishop Candler 
preached at Round Oak on a special occasion. The first Sunday 
School Superintendents were: R. J. Smith, W. F. White, J. W. 
Barron, Edgar Hunt, Sam McCullough. 

The name of the church was changed to Sunshine II for Old 
Sunshine a mile south, burned by Sherman’s forces Nov. 1864. 
(See Battle of Sunshine Church.) 

Rev. Sam Jones preached the dedicatory sermon and the text 
was John 3-16. 

There is no record of what denomination the first Sunshine 
Church was. It was also used for an old field school, and to this 
day bits of slate may be found in the soil on this location. Old 
letters tell of the bullet riddled logs of the old church and the 
capture of Gen. George Stoneman there and the base hospital 
for which it was used after the battle. Across the road is a hill

called Stoneman’s Hill. The reason Round Oak’s Methodist 
church was named Sunshine is because the people who belonged 
to the old church are on the register at Round Oak and also 
many are buried in the cemetery nearby. Much of the hottest 
lighting began around the present church. The blinds for this 
church (since removed) were brought by mule team from Sa¬ 
vannah (F. S. Stewart, Sr. data). 

The writer has a copy of the letter written by Sgt. B. F. 
Morris from Shelby, Ohio to Jesse Hunt stating that he was one 
of the wounded Federals left at the Hascall’s home and old 
Sunshine Church on July 31, 1864, severely wounded. Twenty- 
live years later be brought his wife and daughter back to Round 
Oak and visited Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Hunt and preached in the 
new Sunshine Church and after church he went out and picked 
up minie balls and shells under the church and spoke of the 
lighting there in which he was engaged. When Sherman’s army 
came through in Nov. 1864 he burned the old log church and 
field school called Sunshine one mile south. 

The present church was remodeled on the inside in 1938. Two 
new Sunday School rooms were added in 1956. T. A. White, 
Supt.; Pastor, Paul Smith, 1956. Chairman Board of Stewards 
for twenty years: Carl C. Williams. 

HADDOCK BAPTIST CHURCH 

The Haddock Baptist Church was organized April 14, 1907. 
J. F. Cargile, J. B. Phillips and Charles C. Davidson, Jr. being 
elected as organizing and recognized council. 

J. F. Cargile acted as chairman and Charles C. Davidson, 
secretary. Nine names placed on the roll formed a nucleus for 
membership. 

The Haddock Baptists having no house of worship, the Meth¬ 
odists tendered them the use of their building which was grate¬ 
fully accepted and used for six years. 

Reverend J. F. Cargile was the first pastor, serving the church 
two years. He was succeeded by D. P. Stamps. During Reverend 
Stamps pastorate of two years, a church lot was purchased for 
the erection of a house of worship. 

In January, 1912, under the strong leadership of Reverend

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


J. P. Lee, a building committee was organized, material pur¬ 
chased and actual work begun in September 1912, when the 
ground was broken by Mrs. C. E. Bonner removing the first 
shovel of dirt, C. H. Keller the second, and J. P. Lee, the third. 
The church was sufficiently completed for holding services on 
March 2, 1913 and at that time, C. H. Kellar, J. N. Holloway, 
j. F. Mulligan and N. P. Sammons were ordained deacons. 

The building when completed was valued at $2,000.00 and 
against it was an indebtedness of $1,500.00. 

Financial problems were settled when the Baptist State Board, 
came to the rescue with an oppropriation amounting to $900.00, 
and the balance was raised from friends of the community and 
different parts of the state. 

November, 1917, still having no pews and being weak to the 
numerically and financially but strong in spirit, this little board 
called to the pastorate, Broadus Jones of Macon, a most zeal¬ 
ous, consecrated and inspired man of God, to fill the pulpit for 
two Sundays in each month at a salary of $400.00 per annum. 
Through the leadership and untiring efforts of Reverend Jones, 
pews were purchased at the cost of $762.50, and repainting the 
building and other expenses amounting to $200.00. Again the 
Methodist friends were liberal with their finances. 

Sunday morning, August 11, 1918, all the indebtedness of the 
church having been paid, the building was dedicated to God, 
with sermon by the pastor Reverend Broadus Jones. 

This church is located in the village of Haddock in the 
eastern section of the county. 

There exists a membership of approximately seventy mem¬ 
bers. In this group are a faithful few who are endeavoring to 
carry on the work of the first little group who organized in 
1907.

GRAY BAPTIST CHURCH 

The seeds of the Gray Missionary Baptist church were planted 
when a small Sunday School was organized in the village school 
house, at the inspiration of Catherine Louise Morgan, a young 
Christian worker. 

It was on August 2, 1905 that 21 Christian men and women 
banded thmeselves together and organized the first church for

ceasingly for the building of the church. His untimely death 
February 13, 1907, occurred a few weeks from the completion. 

The first worship service in the church was conducted by J. E.

WAYSIDE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, 

JONES COUNTY 

The seeds of the Wayside Presbyterian Church were planted 
when the Wayside Community Sunday School was organized in 



342 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


March 1921, at the inspiration of Miss Maud Childs; with the 
schoolhouse as a meeting place. 

In the fall of the same year a series of evangelistic services 
were held by the Reverend John Golf, evangelist for the Macon 
Presbytery. In December the Presbytery organized a church 
with four members, Messrs. E. M. and H. B. Davis, Mr. and 
Mrs. W. H. Marquess. Reverend John Golf and Reverend Doc¬ 
tor R. E. Douglas, pastor of the First Presbytery Church, Ma¬ 
con had charge of the organization services; Messrs. E. M. and 
H. B. Davis were appointed trustees, and ordained deasons, 
Mr. W. H. Marquess was elected and ordained elder, and Mrs. 
W. H. Marquess, pianist. 

Plans for a church building were soon being made, a lot was 
given by a devoted member, Mr. Dorf. Barfield, plans were 
gratis by Mr. Elliott Dunwody, a Macon Architect, and through 
the influence of Mr. Golf and Dr. Douglas a thousand dollars 
was given by the Assembly Home Mission, this amount was 
more than doubled by residents of Jones County and Macon and 
friends of various denominations, the building was dedicated in 
May 1923. In the meantime a manse had been built, this being 
entirely financed by E. M. Davis, Sr. The Reverend E. B. With¬ 
erspoon had arrived in May 1922 and under his leadership the 
membership grew to thirty or more, Mrs. Witherspoon organ¬ 
ized a Woman’s Auxiliary in June 1922 which has continued 
to function efficiently after the happy start which she gave jt. 

Following Mrs. Witherspoon’s death in June 1923, Mr. 
Witherspoon left, and the church was pastorless until January 
1924, when the Reverend George R. Ratchford took charge, in 
the summer of 1925, when he accepted another call. During the 
period when the church was pastorless the pulpit was often 
filled by Reverend Goff and by the Men’s Evangelistic Club of 
Macon. 

In December 1925, Reverend F. E. Manning accepted the 
call of the Wayside Church, he proved to be a wonderful Spir¬ 
itual guide, organizer and friend. In the fall of 1926 the Church 
voted to divide the pastor’s time with Liberty Community, about 
nine miles from Wayside. A Sunday School was organized there 
and in September 1927, Liberty Presbyterian Church with Rev- 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


343 


erend J. W. Smith as the principal factor in organizing this. This 
Church was soon moved to Caney Creek Community, this being 
a better location, the name was changed to New Liberty Pres¬ 
byterian Church. For a short time the services were held in the 
Caney Creek schoolhouse; however the building was soon bought 
and remodeled, the work was superintended by Doctor Gillian. 

Under Mr. Manning’s enthusiastic leadership being assisted 
by his splendid and beloved wife who was an Assembly Training 
School graduate, the church continued to grow. 

In August 1933, it was decided to make an exchange of pas¬ 
tors for the period of eight months, beginning with October 1, 
1933. The change was made between Reverend C. L. Landrum 
and Reverend F. E. Manning; Reverend Manning going to 
Kenly, N. C. and Reverend Landrum to Wayside. 

In October 1933, Reverend Landrum became pastor of the 
Wayside Church for eight months, he was the Spiritual guide 
and leader and through his earnest efforts and those of his effi¬ 
cient and beloved wife, the work prospered. 

Reverend F. E. Manning returned June 1, 1934, and was with 
us until last of August 1934, when he accepted another call. 

In April 1935 Reverend J. M. Davis accepted the call of the 
Wayside Church. In 1942 he went to the Army as a chaplain. 
Miss Alva Byrd was a home mission worker from Ilah, Ga. J. F. 
Rogers of Cincinnati, Ohio contributed substantially for years, 
to the support of this church. E. McCall Davis was also a loyal 
supporter. 

PLEASANT GROVE CHURCH 
By S. H. Griswold 

Pleasant Grove Church, although situated just over the line 
in Baldwin county, had a large part of its membership of Jones 
county folks. It was organized as part of the Clinton Circuit and 
was in it for several years. It was first a country schoolhouse, 
then Rev. F. T. Christian helped raise the money to build the 
church. His main supporters were, Major John R. Moore, Luico 
Moore, Oliver Bonner, Milton Webb, Pinckney Brown, Oscar 
Brown, Dr. Moore, Joshua Goddard, Mrs. Harriet Morris and 
many others. 


344 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


This was in a fine neighborhood of good people and they had 
a most attractive church and well kept grounds. 

Major Moore and his wife Mary were the leaders, as were 
Luico Moore and his good wife, Aunt Fannie Bonner good and 
kind and a true Christian. She ministered to the slaves as well 
as the whites and everyone loved her. She was the mother of 
Oliver, Richard Wyatt, Charlie William, and Wesley, and Mrs. 
Gray Andrews. Capt. Richard W. Bonner lived at Clinton, stud¬ 
ied law and was a leader there. He could play the violin, the flute 
and was a jolly good fellow whom everyone liked, held county 
offices and was a great friend of young people. 

Charlie never married, Oliver was Sheriff in Baldwin County 
and all of the Bonner children lived up to the teaching of their 
mother. 

Oliver and Pinckney Brown, Miss Matt Brown from Fortville 
(later moved to Baldwin) were all faithful members of Pleasant 
Grove Church. 

Great services were held at this church. Major had a fine voice 
and led the singing in his tenor and Luico Moore had a fine bass, 
along with Miss Fannie Andrews, Miss Fannie Bonner and some 
young, folks could sing with more power, zeal and melody than 
any choir that I have ever heard. I can remember the Misses 
Lesters, Singletons, Browns, Moores, Messers. Pitts, Brown, 
Clarks, Lesters, Freeman, Moores, and others. 

There was a horse block in front of the church, so the young 
ladies could mount their horses. Mrs. Penina Griswold and her 
daughters often came to church here. 

Major John T. Moore had lived at one time on Pine Ridge 
where Jim Finney once lived. He had lost considerable property 
and moved over the Baldwin line near Haddock. He once repre¬ 
sented Jones in the legislature, and was a leader in Jones County 
affairs. Capt. Jack Pitts married one of his daughters, Peyton 
Pitts married two of them. Of his descendants are: Gus Pitts, 
Robert Kingman, Jr. and others, the Misses Anderson of Ma¬ 
con. I do not remember his first wife, the second was Aunt Mary, 
the third Miss Blow. He was an early settler to be proud of for 
of such men this county was made.

The Moores were members at Fortville and Luico Moore at 
Bethel Church but they did support the Pleasant Grove Church. 
Mr. Horne gave the land for the church. 

MOUNT PLEASANT CHURCH—PRIMITIVE 
BAPTIST CHURCH 

On September 16, 1809, Robert Carr deeded two acres of 
land and the timber thereon for the use of the Walnut Creek 
Baptist Church. This small tract is near the waters of Walnut 
Creek and is the site of what is now the Mount Pleasant Prim¬ 
itive Baptist Church. (Deed Book L. 382.) 

Very little is known of the early history of this Church. In 
1811, Walnut Creek Church formed a part of the Ocmulgee 
Association, and when this body met at Sugar Creek Church, 
Morgan County that year, R. McElroy was Walnut Creek’s 
pastor and representative. 

On September third to sixth, 1825, the Ocmulgee association 
convened with Walnut Creek. Elder J. Miller acted as modera¬ 
tor, and Elder Anthony, clerk. There were representatives from 
44 churches and 14 ordained were present. Mission work was 
the matter that had much attention at this session. 

Again the Association convened at Walnut Creek in 1850. 
The messengers for that year were William Paul and Joel Ren- 
froe. At that time the Church had an enrollment of 37 members. 
Some of these early members were Thomas J. Bazemore, J. 
McElroy, Zachariah Herrington, Daniel Holloman, the Gor¬ 
dons and Comers. 

Additional acreage to the original two acres was made when 
Jacob Lewis deeded an acre to the Walnut Creek Meeting 
House, March 12, 1821 (Record Book L-383) and six acres 
from Samuel Lowther, May 4, 1833 (Record Book P. 183). 

It is thought that a log house was first used as a church build¬ 
ing, and was made from the timbers on the lot deeded the church 
by Robert Carr in 1809. A frame house probably supplanted the 
early log house, a building of that type is known to have been 
standing as late as 1877. The church at that time had lost all 
members, except Mrs. Nancy Walker and a Mrs. Barnes. These 
two faithful members not being able to carry on the work, dis¬ 
posed of the property by sale.

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


On December 11, 1879, another church of the same faith and 
order was erected in a nearby community known as Three Points. 
This church was named Mount Pleasant and dedicated by Elder 
David Hitchcock. John Glover was pastor and under his leader¬ 
ship the church membership grew to approximately thirty mem¬ 
bers. 

The church did not remain at Three Points for a great length 
of time. In 1904 L. O. Malone deeded to the church officers of 
Mount Pleasant, J. M. Mathews and J. M. Tyner, two and two- 
thirds acres of the original tract of the old Walnut Creek 
Church grounds. (Deed Book L. Page 442), and the Mount 
Pleasant building was moved from Three Points to this old lo¬ 
cation. 

The present building is located across the road from the Plen- 
titude Missionary Baptist Church and is the place of worship for 
a little band of sixteen faithful members. W. H. Hancock, Ma¬ 
con, Ga., is the present pastor, S. S. Smith, Church Clerk. 

GRAY METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, 
JONES COUNTY 

The Gray Methodist Church was organized in Gray immedi¬ 
ately after the little village had been made the County Seat 
(1905). A suitable lot was secured and the first building, a 
wooden house, valued at $3,000.00 was built in 1907. Architect 
was Reverend D. B. Cantrell, pastor of the Clinton Circuit. 

Trustees of the property were: R. H. Bonner, J. W. Ander¬ 
son, and R. N. Hardeman. The building committee of three in¬ 
cluded D. B. Cantrell, F. S. Johnson and R. H. Bonner. The 
dedication of this church took place on April 19, 1908, by Rev¬ 
erend Dickey. Destroyed by fire January 3, 1915. 

The second building is of no definite type architecture. Ma¬ 
terial, brick, plastered walls, wood floors. Seating capacity of 
four hundred. The belfrey on front contains a splendid bell do¬ 
nated by F. M. Stewart, Sr. of Gray, Ga. in 1916. The cost of 
this bell was apporximately $85.00. The bell with fixtures weighs 
more than 1,000 pounds. 

A stained memorial window on the south side of building is 
erected to the memory of Captain Frank S. Johnson and his

Hungerford, W. E. Morgan, T. S. Bush as building committee. 
This building was dedicated August 15, 1915; consecrated Oc¬ 
tober 30, 1927. 

Pastors and tenure: D. B. Cantrell, 1908; B. H. Mobley, 
1909-1910; Augustus Ernest, 1911-1913; J. T. Robins, 1914- 
1917; G. W. Barrett, 1918-1919; J. R. Jordan, 1920; C. T.

The Methodist Church in Gray has served well the local and 
surrounding territory. An outstanding work has been the sup¬ 
port of a Bible Woman in China for thirty years by a small 
missionary group. 

UNION HILL MISSIONARY BAPTIST 

The Union Hill Baptist Church was organized in 1835. Land 
for the church was donated on April 2, 1835, by Alexander 
Odom. A simple frame house was erected. William Barron, 
Jeremiah Dumas, Roland Ross, Alexander Odom and Levin 
Stanford were Commissioners of Property. The first house of 
worship stood for many years. This building was sold to and 
torn down by Bill McKissic. 

The second building, a frame house was erected by the Mis¬ 
sionary Baptists. In 1922 a storm destroyed the church building. 
Immediately steps were taken by the community to rebuild in 
1923 directed by Rev. E. W. Long, pastor. The building is of 
simple meeting house type wood; painted white, seating capacity 
150. No special features, bell nor inscriptions. 

Pastors since organization as Missionary Baptist: Washing¬ 
ton Smith, 1873-1880; E. H. Lawrence; Rev. Phelps; W. H. 
Arnold, 1887-1890; T. H. Grier, 1890-Sept. 19, 1904; E. W.

PLENTITUDE MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH, 
JONES COUNTY 
By H. A. McKay 

The building was erected in 1868. It was then known as Plen- 
titude Academy, one of the best schools in Jones county. The 
building is still in a good state of preservation. There has been 
preaching services at this Academy through the years at inter¬ 
vals, by all denominations. 

In 1928 a Union Sunday School was organized at this place, 
out of which grew what is now the Plentitude Missionary Bap¬ 
tist Church. Doctor J. J. Bennett, secured a minister from the 
State Baptist Board for one week’s revival services, and Doctor 
Bennett had the Gray Baptist Church, of which he was at that 
time pastor, to extend an arm to authorize the acception and 
baptism of members. Dr. W. F. Hinesly from Center hill Bap¬ 
tist Church of Atlanta, Ga., conducted these services from Au¬ 
gust 25th, through August 29, 1930, in a big fine way. Indeed 
this was a week filled with Spiritual Harvest. The ingathering 
was great, twenty-seven in number, ranging in age from 10 to 
73 years. 

On October 26, 1930, Dr. J. J. Bennett preached. After 
preaching he called the church into conference, acting as mod¬ 
erator and Mrs. C. E. Patton acting as temporary clerk. 

Rev. J. R. Meek who was then studying at Mercer for his 
A.B. and M.A. degrees, was called unanimously as pastor of 
this mission on this date. Although he finished his work at Mer¬ 
cer June 20, 1932, and moved to Atlanta, to reside, he ably 
served in this capacity until October 1935, when he resigned to 
move to Oklahoma City. During the pastorate of Mr. Meek 
the little church thrived and many were added to its membership. 
After his resignation, Rev. Harry Meek, his father, then as¬ 
sumed the duties as pastor.

July 24, 1936, the church was organized into an independent 
body. The minutes of the organization services follow: 

Song—Standing on the Promises; Prayer—Brother Allen; 
Song—When the Saints Go Marching In; Prayer—Rev. J .W. 
Ballard; Song—How Firm a Foundation. 

Mr. Ballard brought the message of the hour, his subject be¬ 
ing “The Church of God.” Mrs. Una Holland Taylor was 
elected clerk pro tern. Mr. Ballard was chosen moderator. A 
motion was made and seconded that the name “Plentitude Mis¬ 
sionary Baptist Church” be adopted. The Articles of Faith were 
then read and adopted. Prayer invoking God’s blessing on the 
new church was offered by T. Hunt Taylor. H. A. McKay and 
F. B. Norman were elected deacons. Mr. Norman declined to 
serve, Mr. McKay was ordained at Willingham Baptist Church, 
Macon, Ga., Sunday August, 1936. Rev. Harry Meek preached 
the ordination sermon. 

The church then went into the election of a clerk. Hugh Hud¬ 
son was unanimously elected. 

The building and one acre of land was purchased from the 
Board of Education of Jones County, Ga. by Mr. and Mrs. T. 
Hunt Taylor and presented to the members of the church as a 
love gift| 

CHURCH OF CHRIST 
(Hardy’s Chapel) 

Meetings were held originally in a school house. Organized 
in July, 1900 with 23 charter members by Rev. W. A. Cameron. 

There the Lord’s Supper is observed each Sunday. The Haw¬ 
thornes and Cobbs were leaders in helping organize and build 
the two churches. 

The first church was a frame type building but the last one 
built recently is of brick and very attractive. There is no musical 
instrument, the church has a Sunday School. Their ministers are 
called and the candidates for membership are immersed. There 
is a nice pool connected with the church. There is a cemetery 
back of the church. This church is located inside of the Jones 
County line a few miles from where Jones joins Wilkinson 
County. There are about seventy-five members. (1938.)

COLORED CHURCHES IN JONES COUNTY 
Thirty-one negro churches are named in the county. Almost 
every one was established after 1865. It was impossible to get 
records from these churches as most of them were not kept at 
all, some had burned and only two had complete records.

Old Cemetry Records In Jones County 

At some of the old churches in Jones County no burial grounds 
are found. The old site of Sunshine church near Round Oak has 
no cemetery and there are many others. The families of a hund¬ 
red years ago usually buried their dead near the home. This is 
especially true in the country districts. The owners of plantations 
had several reasons for doing this. Indians prowled the wooded 
areas, there was no embalming or undertaker available, roads 
were almost impassable at times and it was supposed that graves 
would be safer on the land they owned. Conquerers came and 
destroyed churches and plowed up graves as was done in Jones 
County at Mountain Springs church. The destruction of fences 
and smashed tombs all tell the story of what war did to Georgia. 
The private burying ground is still used in this county in a dozen 
places. Some of these are inclosed by stone walls, some fences of 
different kinds and some abandoned to the woods and under¬ 
growth. Where the land has passed out of the family, others 
have plowed over these old cemeteries. Many of these graves 
found are unmarked. This is not a complete list of the ceme¬ 
teries in the county; most of those started in the 1800’s are 
given.

STILES CEMETERY 

On the Old Garrison Road, at the foot of the hill from the 
home site of Joseph Gill Stiles is the family burying ground. It 
is directly across the road from the “Lakeview Motel”. The tall 
marble shaft over the grave of Joseph Gill Stiles is plainly seen 
through the bushes. Although it is evident that there are a num¬ 
ber of graves in the plot, there is only the large marker over the 
grave of Joseph G. Stiles. On one side is written: 

Joseph G. Stiles, died Feb. 15, 1858, aged 79 years.

On the other side is written: 

Elizabeth, wife of Joseph Stiles, died in 1805, aged 35 yrs. 
on a third side is written: 

Sarah, wife of Joseph Stiles, died Feb. 5th, 1842, aged 49 yrs. 
Around the graves was a beautiful iron fence, but now there is 
only half of it there for two sides have been removed. I have 
been told that during World War II, thieves took down the 
fence and sold it for scrap iron. 

Although the grave is not marked, the third wife of Joseph 
G. Stiles, who was Mrs. Mary Glover before she married him, 
is buried there. She died December 24, 1865. 

In more recent years, the cemetery has been used and there 
are two marked graves in the newer part. In so far as I know, 
they are not related to the Stiles family.

MEN AND WOMEN OF MARK 
COMERS 

The name Comer is said to have been spelled “Comber” de¬ 
rived from the occupation of “wool comber”. There is a long 
line of descendants who possess old and honored names of this 
Comer line, who can trace their ancestry back to sturdy immi¬ 
grant ancestors. Colonial records begin with James Moss born 
in England who came to Va. about 1719 and settled in St. Peters 
Parish in New Kent Co., Va. He married Rebecca King, dau, of 
John King who mar. Rebecca Moss, widow of Major Wm. Ar- 
mistead. 

Records from the register of St. Peters church show where 
James Moss and Rebecca King’s children were baptized. The 
third daughter was Elizabeth Moss, who became the wife of 
Samuel Comer. From this union came the long line of descend¬ 
ants found in the Southern states today. In Christ Episcopal 


(384) 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


385 


Church in Alexandria Va., is a plaque naming the pallbearers 
at Pres. George Washington’s funeral and William Moss, father 
of James Moss, was listed there. 

James Moss and Rebecca King had several children, among 
them, Mary, James Jr., Hugh and Elizabeth Moss who married 
Samuel Comer. She was baptized June 13, 1730. The Moss’e 
were influential and patriotic citizens as records attest. 

Samuel Comer, direct ancestor of the Comers who settled in 
the South just after the Revolutionary War, was born in Lunen¬ 
burg Co., Va. He was the son of John Comer who died in 1767. 
Samuel was the fourth child. He married Elizabeth Moss of 
New Kent Co., Va. They had four ch. They were: Rebecca, 
James Thomas, John Anderson and Hugh Moss Comer. There 
are many Comers listed in about 15 counties in Va., but we take 
up the ones who settled in Jones Co. Land grants were drawn 
by Hugh Moss Comer for his services in the Rev. War. Prior 
to 1796 three brothers, James, Anderson and Hugh M., all sons 
of Samuel and Elizabeth Moss Comer, came to Jones Co. They 
settled near Clinton but nearer what later became Gray. They 
were unmarried. James and Hugh M. had been in the Rev. War. 
James served longer than Hugh. Rebecca, their only sister, mar. 
William Clay, a young Rev. Soldier and remained in Va. She 
died in 1789. 

James Comer married three times, 1st Frances Finch, 1 child, 
James Comer Jr., but by the two later marriages each wife bore 
him thirteen children. His last wife Nancy G. Harper had a son 
named George Washington Comer who lived his entire life 
within four miles of his homestead, he lived to be over 90 years 
old was six feet five inches, served in the legislature two terms, 
was a Confederate soldier, and was the father of eleven children, 
had 38 living grandchildren, 49 great grandchildren and one 
great-great grandchid. George Washington Comer wrote of his 
Uncle Hugh Comer “he was meticulous in attire and wore a 
tall aristocratic hat”. 

Anderson Comer (John Anderson) brother of James and 
Hugh Moss, was in Baldwin Co. before it was cut out to form 
Jones Co., and is also definitely identified with the early history 
of this county. He owned lands here and also in Hancock Co. He

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


married Maria Rymes and had one son, Anderson Comer, Jr. 
and two dau. one mar. Eton Pinkston, and one a Breedlove 
(who had sons, John and Bollin) in 1826. Anderson gave bond 
for $80,000 as administrator of his bro. estate. A daughter 
Martha Comer mar. Elbert Hutchings. (1832) (dau. of Hugh) 

Hugh Moss Comer b. 1760 lived in Jones Co., youngest son 
of Elizabeth Moss and Samuel Comer. Mar. Ann Trippe, dau. 
of John Trippe, III. His mar. into the distinguished Trippe 
family of Hancock Co., established a long line of brilliant de¬ 
scendants. They had twelve children in rather rapid succession. 
Seven lived to maturity. The last two were twins. Hugh Moss 
Comer was one of the first judges of Superior court, later Or¬ 
dinary for several years. He was always a leading man in the 
county. He died in 1836: He owned thousands of acres of land, 
most of it on Elogg Creek. Three years later his wife died. Both 
are buried on the Glawson place near Gray on Eatonton High¬ 
way. Their son John Fletcher Comer was administrator of the 
estate, v/hich was extensive. 

Hugh M. Comer first lived where John T. Williams later 
built. James Comer first lived near the Wm. Jones home where 
court was first held. James built the first brick house of three 
stories in Jones County, which later burned. Capt. Wash Comer 
married Frances Johnson, (son of James C.) father of eleven 
children. 

Hugh Moss’ son John Fletcher Comer moved to Alabama and 
his son Braxton Bragg Comer became Gov. of Ala. and a broth¬ 
er of prominence was Edward Trippe Comer. Anne Trippe Co¬ 
mer’s will mentions sons: John F., Thomas J., Milton C., dau. 
Mary Ann (Shaw) Alzada (Kolb) Gr. dau. Ann Drucilla 
Hutchings. Signed August 14, 1839; probated Sept. 2, 1839. 

Old Spring Hill Methodist Church in Barbour Co., Ala., was 
built in 1828 by John Fletcher Comer. Gov. B. B. Comer is 
known for his contributions to education. A white school there 
bears the name of Catherine Comer, endowed by Edward Trippe 
and B. B. Comer. A Negro vocational school there is likewise 
endowed with over 200 students and a Negro church near by. 

E. T. Comer a grandson of Hugh Moss Comer left a fund to 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY

care for the cemetery in Jones County of his family and for the 
education of boys and girls. 

Gov. Braxton Bragg Comer, the son of Hugh Moss Comer, 
was a governor of Ala., a champion of prohibition laws and the 
educational system. He was a farmer, merchant, manufacturer, 
and a capitalist. He is known as one of the greatest governors 
that Alabama ever had. 

On the James Comer, Sr. monument in Jones Co., we read: 
“In memory of James Comer Sr., who died in Jones Co., July 
16, 1837. He was a true Whig and served six years and six 
months in the Revolutionary War. Erected by James Comer, Jr.” 
This James Comer was living in Jones Co. in 1809. James 
Comer, Jr. was here until 1824. He married Mrs. Laura B. 
Hayes August 15, 1848 from New Haven, Conn. 

Anderson Comer married Maria Louisa Sanders, Aug. 12, 
1825, Jones Co., Ga. Their children: Caroline Victoria Comer, 
12-12-29; John Anderson Comer, 9-26-33, mar. Hattie Wilson 
Towns 3-12-57 in Macon. Third child was Harriet Celestia 
Comer, 3-28-36 who mar. Hugh Lawson 5-31-55 in Macon. 
Fourth ch. was Maria Louisa 9-8-38, who mar. Paul F. Ham¬ 
mond 11-9-58. The first dau. Caroline mar. James F. Winter in 
Macon 11-17-49. 

Hugh Moss Comer founded the Bibb Mills in 1876 and was 
President until 1900. He had ranches in western Texas and many 
other investments. 

The Catherine L. Comer Chair of Fine Arts at Wesleyan, was 
established by Edward Trippe Comer at $50,000 and now is 
$82,000. There is also a loan fund at the University of Ga., and 
the University of Alabama. Over 600 girls have used the loan 
fund at Wesleyan. 

John Fletcher Comer and Catherine Drewry Comer’s fourth 
son, Braxton Bragg, was b. Nov. 7, 1848 at Old Spring Hill, 
Barbour Co., Ala. 

There are many Comers in Jones County at present descended 
from this line. For many years first honor in the Senior Class 
was won by one of the Comer family. The name Comer was one 
of the earliest mentioned in Jones County and the three brothers 
were leaders in the young county in the early 1800’s.

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


BAYNE 

John Bayne and family were original settlers in Jones Co. 
(1806) coming from Westmoreland Co., Va., where they were 
neighbors of the Washington family. 

John Bayne came from Virginia to Warren County about 
1790, later moved to Jones County, Ga., and is listed as a 
pioneer citizen, 1812-1828. He was a teacher and legislator, 
serving as Representative from Jones County in the old State 
Capitol at Milledgeville for fifteen year. His son John married

Charles Thomas Bayne was tutor to the large family of Major 
Ben Barron in Jones County near what is now Round Oak. Af¬ 
ter this, he set up a private school in Milledgeville and taught 
classical languages and higher mathematics. Among his pupils 
was the brother of William Gibbs McAdoo whose parents were 
refugees during the War Between the States and living in Mill¬ 
edgeville for a time. He died in 1873, leaving his wife, Saphro- 
nia Smith Bayne (dau. of Joseph and Elizabeth Draper Smith of 
Wash. Co.) and a son Charles J. Bayne, and a daughter. 

Charles J. Bayne, who began work as a printer’s apprentice at 
an early age, later traveled in Cuba and made a pedestrian tour 
of Europe, worked on the Augusta Chronicle, spent 25 years on 
newspapers in Washington, D. C. In 1949 published his memoirs 
and “The Coming of the Crows Feet”. Now approaching 85 he 
is with the Macon newspapers. 

Charles Bayne married Mary Hawkins, dau. of Joseph Carter 
and Mary Garrard Hawkins of Putnam County in 1919. He was 
born Sept. 28, 1870. His editorials are widely read, are colorful, 
and full of knowledge. 

Martha Emily Bayne (Mrs. E. Y. Mallary of Macon) is the 
great granddaughter of John Bayne of Jones Co., who was a 
scholar, teacher and legislator of note.

SKETCH OF HON. JOSEPH DAY 
By Judge J. B. Jackson 

Joseph Day was born in Richmond County, Georgia, May 2, 
1791, the son of John and Ferely (Bullock) Day. In 1841 he 
married Miss Jane Dunn. Their daughter was Rebecca. Acquir¬ 
ing a modest farm in Jones County, his industry and thrift was 
such that he soon owned a large plantation on which was located 
two mills. At the beginning of the Civil War he was credited 
on the tax books with thousands of acres, many slaves who found 
him to be a humane master. 

In 1823 he became a member of the House of Representatives 
in Georgia and except for two years he attended annual sessions 
in which he was always a conspicuous figure until 1840 when he 
retired to give more time to his personal affairs. He is said to 
have put upon the statute books a number of important measures 
and to have been a powerful factor in shaping legislation. The 
fact that he was called upon five times in succession to wield the 
gavel as Speaker of the House of Representatives sufficiently 
attests his command influence as a member ; while other speakers 
have presided for a longer time, in consequence of biennial elec¬ 
tions, not one has been more often called to the Speakership as 
the Journal of the House will show. This fact gives him a 
unique distinction in the annals of the state. 

Judge Day was a Democrat strongly opposed to the Whigs. 
On account of his towering prestige, he was repeatedly urged to 
accept the nomination for Governor, but he declined this honor. 
He did allow his name to be put on the ticket for Congress in 
1848 and was defeated by 1,417 votes. His opponent was Al¬ 
exander H. Stephens, a warm personal friend although a political 
opponent. 

Judge Day lived in the northeastern part of the county about 
two miles from Round Oak in Tranquilla District and the place 
is now known as the Day-Barron place. Major Ben Barron buy¬ 
ing this from Judge Day in 1856. The house is still standing al¬ 
though needing repair badly. It was once the most beautiful place 
in Jones County. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


393 


When Judge Day completed his home he gave a big ball and 
had a large crowd of his friends from all over the state to at¬ 
tend. His 2nd marriage was to Gen. Wade Hampton’s daughter. 

In 1856 Judge Day sold his extensive interests in Jones 
County and bought two adjoining plantations between Fort Val¬ 
ley and Marshallsville. He lived in the beautiful old home on 
the plantation owned by Felder J. Frederick still known as the 
Day Place, until the surrender of General Lee. He then moved 
to Macon and entered the mercantile business. 

Judge Day died in Macon in 1867. He did not hold any public 
office after 1852 but he always took an active part in politics. 
People of Georgia realizing his ability and his conservative atti¬ 
tude in the momentous questions just preceding the War Between 
the States, often went to him for advise and counsel as this cor¬ 
respondence will indicate in the Weekly Georgia Telegraph Dec. 
6, 1860. 


Fort Valley, Ga. 

Nov. 16, 1860 

Dear Sir: 

I hope you will excuse me for addressing you on a subject with 
which the destiny of our country and all that is near and dear 
to us is so intimately associated—I mean the political condition 
of our country. We all feel that the recent election taken into 
consideration with the unconstitutional action of several North¬ 
ern states, in abrogating by Legislative enactment the laws for 
the rendition of Fugitive slaves, demands of the south firm and 
determined resistance in some shape. 

But as to the character of the resistance, there is not a unit 
of sentiment. It is a time when all party feelings should be laid 
aside and sacrificed upon the altar of our beloved country, and 
when calm and dispassionate counsel and reflection should take 
the place of partisan harangues and hasty and inconsiderate 
action. 

Having been connected with the legislative department of our 
state, having spent the prime of your life in her service and being 
in every way identified with and interested in her welfare, many 


394 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


of your personal friends would be interested to know your views 
as to the best course for Georgia and the South to pursue to ob¬ 
tain and maintain their rights and equality. 

Very respectfully yours, 

Wm. A. Matthews. 

Marshallville, Ga. 

Nov. 22, 1860 

Dr. W. A. Matthews, 

Fort Valley, Ga. 

Dear Sir: 

Yours of the 15th instant has been received in which you ask 
my opinion on the question of resistance to Northern aggres¬ 
sions. It is true that Mr. Lincoln, taken in connection with un¬ 
constitutional action of several Northern States in practically ab¬ 
rogating the Fugitive Slave Law, demands of the South firm 
and determined resistance: of that extent there is unfortunately 
a difference of opinion. 

The first question that under existing circumstances presents 
itself to the minds of the people, is whether we shall make one 
more effort to save the Union for which we have fought and 
died and which has produced so many blessings to the country, 
or shall we at once sever the ties that now bind us together or 
cut ourselves loose from all order and organization and plunge 
the country into a state of anarchy and confusion. 

The subject deserves consideration of great importance. Our 
people have been badly treated, their passions justly excited, they 
feel that the time has come that something must be done. That 
their rights, property and safety must be protected. What action 
on our part will best secure the object? On this point we must be 
extremely cautious, the subject should be well considered in all 
aspects and results, we should not be hasty, there will be nothing 
lost by taking time for reflection. 

There are many reasons why I would not advise secession and 
especially under separate State action. I have heard it contended 
that secession is not equivalent to revolution. I cannot under¬ 
stand it. Withdrawing from one government and adopting an¬ 
other can be nothing but revolution, and when another govern- 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


395 


ment is yet to be provided, who can foretell what may be the 
principles of such a government. Whether it will be liberal or 
despotic. Whether we shall be under the control of a governor, 
a President or a military chieftain? or a monarch? Already we 
have a difference of opinion on that subject, one statement prais¬ 
es the British government, another recommends not a Southern 
Confederacy but a Southern Consolidated government, composed 
of cotton growing states abrogating all state laws and blotting 
out state lines. Are the people of Georgia prepared for such a 
state of affairs ? 

On this point I would raise a warning voice. I would admonish 
the people to beware of what they do, the crises may come too 
soon, the times are indeed alarming and there dangers await us 
at every turn. 

I am not for submission. I think the present legislature has 
made one step in the right direction. It has called a State Con¬ 
vention to ask counsel of men of whom the country has confi¬ 
dence. When that convention meets let us reaffirm the Georgia 
platform with such additions as may be thought necessary to 
meet the circumstances now existing. Let it ask all of the slave 
holding states to meet in convention as soon as circumstances will 
admit. The voice of such a body would be respected and it would 
be patent for good. 

That convention should demand of the faithless states the 
repeal of all their aggressive and unconstitutional laws, and re¬ 
quire from all the free states such guarantees for our future 
safety and protection as thought just and proper. Should the 
requirements not be complied with in a stipulated time, the con¬ 
vention should re-assemble and take such action as then existing 
and the state of affairs might demand. Should a portion of the 
refractory states refuse to comply the General government might 
be required to decree them out of the Union and out of the pro¬ 
tection of the government. 

But if neither satisfaction can be obtained then let the Con¬ 
vention proceed to form a constitution for the South on the basis 
of the Federal Constitution and organize a government for the 
Southern states. Should the measures here recommended, or 
others of a similar nature be adopted we stand justified before 


396

the world. It would unite our entire people, and none would dare 
to molest or hinder us in taking our course. 

Respectfully yours, 

Joseph Day 

The answer of this letter from Joseph Day to Dr. Matthews 
shows that he was far ahead of his time in actually sizing up the 
conditions of the country and the policies to be pursued. Had the 
South followed the suggestions as laid down by Judge Day it is 
reasonable to believe that the war could have been averted.

NATHANIEL GLOVER 
By S. H. Griswold — 1908 

There lived northwest of Clinton at Five Points, a progress¬ 
ive man, a leader, and a man in a community of small land own¬ 
ers whose advise was sought frequently. 

Nathaniel Seth Glover was born in Edgefield District South 
Carolina, May 11, 1813. His father was Wiley Glover and his 
mother was Temperance Towles. He moved to Georgia when 
quite a young man and overseered for grandfather Towles who 
settled and lived at the old Five Point place now owned by Dr. 
Glover. This was in his twenty-second year. His wages were 
$200 a year and he saved from this 175 dollars. He started out 
buying land,, a little at a time. He married Miss Caroline Finney, 
a sister of a fine man, Ben Finney. Nat Glover had only three 
weeks of schooling but was a good organizer, energetic, smart 
and very popular. He was a Democrat and worked for this party 
very hard. He served Jones County as Sheriff for ten years and 
represented Jones in both the upper and lower houses before the 
war and once after the war. He helped with all that he could 
during the Civil War. 

He helped to organize the first company in Jones County and 
was made its first Lieutenant. The Jones Volunteers became Co. 
B. in the famous 12th Ga. Regiment, they went early in the war 
northern Virginia. Here he became so badly afflicted with rheu¬ 
matism that he had to resign and come home. He was a large 
framed man with an intelligent looking face and a prominent 
forehead and had a strong constitution. He was not a polished 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


397 


man and could be described as a diamond in the rough. He was 
a member of the Primitive Baptist Church and a Mason. He had 
four boys, Julius, Jack, Dr. W. P., and a son I cannot recall who 
lived in southwest Alabama, a Captain in the Confederate Army 
and a good soldier, I believe he was killed in the war. Julius liv¬ 
ed on a plantation near his father, but died young. He never 
married. 

Jack married a daughter of Mr. Williamson Middlebrooks, 
(Mittie) and was drowned in the Ocmulgee River at Juliette 
when a young man. The next son, W. P. Glover still lives at 
Glovers. (1908) He is like his father, a man of energy and ac¬ 
complishment. At one time paid more taxes than any man in 
Jones County. One of his daughters, Miss Temperance Glover 
married Tom Middlebrooks, and is still living, a good and noble 
woman. The other daughter Nanny married James Middle¬ 
brooks, died young and then Nat married Bettie Holland, who 
now survives him. With his keen insight he recognized the value 
power of the river at Juliette and Glovers and bought Smith’s 
Mill. There was a large two story mill and machinery for grind¬ 
ing both corn and wheat. One on the Monroe side of the river 
and one on Jones side. 

Jack, his son, had taken possession and moved in, working 
very hard when by accident he lost his life in the river. This was 
a severe blow to Nat Glover, as he was old and infirm. 

Nat Glover was truly a poor man’s friend, he loaned money, 
heloed in distress, giving of his corn and crops to help soldiers’ 
widows and furnished several houses for them. The Whigs had 
a majority in the county before the war, but as a Democrat he 
was never defeated for an office. He made money farming, and 
owned much property when he died at his home at Five Points 
in 1889. He was truly a good citizen and loved Jones county 
and its people. His good deeds are his monument and his epi¬ 
taph is written in the hearts of those who love him.

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


JAMES MADISON GRAY 

James Madison Gray was the most prominent man in all of 
Jones County’s early affairs. He was a Democrat and a leader in 
that party, he has represented it in the legislature and in State 
Conventions ably and faithfully. He was a staunch friend of Bob 
Toombs, Herschell V. Johnson and other noted Georgians. He 
was a leader in county affairs as well as the state He was educat¬ 
ed, had studied law, was admitted to the bar but never practiced. 

He was a strong, well built man of ruddy complexion, a neatly 
trimmed beard, polite, suave, easy to approach and very popu¬ 
lar. He had so long been at the head of important affairs he dis¬ 
liked being opposed. He was liberal, kind, affable and a good 
neighbor. He was respected and asked for advise by so many that 
was often said, “Gray is Jones County, and when he dies, Jones 
County will die.” 

His father was Judge Gray, and his mother a Miss Cody and 
it is said that they moved from Warren County to Jones when 
James M. Gray was quite young. Judge Gray once lived and 
owned the place later owned by the Glawson’s, known as the 
Stewart Place. After Judge Gray sold this place to Mr. Stewart, 
he moved to Clinton while James M. Gray was still a young 
man. Judge Gray owned a plantation on the Macon road joining 
Bibb County, near Walnut Creek. James M. Gray lived on this 
place then sold it to Captain Parish and bought the Moughon 
plantation on Wolf Creek, and other lands joining it, among 
them, the Pepper Place. 

James Madison Gray never married. It was told that he loved 
a girl in the county who refused to marry him. His sister, Mrs. 
Cleveland died and left him a very large estate. He lived on his 
plantation and although he had an able overseer, he supervised 
personally much of the work. He grew much cotton, corn, small 
grain, and his barns, granary and store houses were always well 
filled. 

He had large pastures and well bred cattle on them. He own¬ 
ed fine horses and mules. He came to Clinton in a fine Concord 
buggy, with a negro driver, and two beautiful high stepping 
horses. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


399 


James M. Gray had a nice home and kept open house at all 
times. He was a most hospitable host and entertained lavishly 
from the highest officials in Georgia to the poorest farmer in the 
county. 

He was the typical ideal Southern planter, had the best of 
wines, whiskey and brandy along with mint juleps, good foods 
and servants trained to dispense them. 

S. H. G riswold says; “I have never had any man to impress 
me so favorably or make me feel so welcome in his presence and 
in his house.” 

After a sumptuous dinner, his guests would mount horses and 
ride over his large plantation. He would point out his fields of 
cotton, corn, grain, cattle and pastures. There were discussions 
of the best methods to use in the planting and the cultivation of 
each crop. The negroes would be singing in he fields, and he 
would stop to have a word with the overseer. 

After this the guests were led to the wide shady verandah, and 
would take off their coats, stretch out in the hammock or on the 
seats and be most comfortable. It was here the politics of the 
county and state were discussed. Gray was well read, practical 
and was a brilliant leader in any discussion. He liked to pass on 
to others any advice or experiences that would help them. 

His slaves were well treated, neat, clean, well fed and had 
good houses and seemed very happy. 

He attended all court sessions in Clinton and would take visit¬ 
ing lawyers, Judges and friends home for an over night visit. He 
was a secessionest and advocated Georgia withdrawing from 
the Union. (He was 47 yrs. old, did not volunteer.) 

After the failure of the Charleston Convention, in 1860 to 
make a nomination for President, a convention of Democrats 
was called to Milledgeville to discuss the situation and appoint 
other delegates to a convention of the party to be held at Balti¬ 
more to make a nomination for Pres, and Vice Pres. 

James Madison Gray was a delegate to this convention at 
Milledgeville and stayed at the McCombbs Hotel, in the Jones 
County room. The Democrats in this Convention were much di¬ 
vided. Ex. Gov. H. V. Johnson had been to the Charleston Con¬ 
vention, and was an ardent supporter of Stephen A. Douglas 


400 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


for President, and was himself a candidate for Vice President 
on the Douglas ticket. Some wanted this Douglas ticket that 
upheld squatter sovereignty and others wanted Bob Toombs and 
Henry R. Jackson. After the Convention got down to work there 
was much hard feeling between these two factions. Johnson deliv¬ 
ered one of the strongest speeches ever delivered in the old State 
Capitol. Feeling keenly the strained relations, the alienation of 
some of his friends, he used all the eloquence of which he was 
capable, every word , and gesture showed his feeling. He began 
by stating his position upon the questions at issue and in a voice 
of thunder accompanied by illustrative gestures shouted, “I plant 
my feet upon this rock of Gibralter, and all the thunders and 
waves of the oceans cannot shake me.” 

Before he had finished, the convendon adjourned for din¬ 
ner. Gov. Johnson went with Gray to the Jones County room in 
the hotel along with several other, where all took drinks and 
Johnson drank a glass of brandy. 

After dinner when Johnson resumed his speech he was so 
visibly affected by the brandy his friends stopped him and car¬ 
ried him to his room. It was told that the opposition was afraid 
of him and power of his speech on the assembly to carry things 
his way and had gotten him drunk. 

This was not true. S. H. Griswold said he heard Gray tell of 
the incident, and said that H. V. Johnson was so excited, nervous 
and under such strain, that the glass of brandy would not have 
affected him under normal conditions. Anyone who knew James 
Gray would not accuse him of such a trick. He was an honorable 
man and would not take advantage of another in this way. 

During the Civil War, James Gray fitted out a Company for 
the army which was called the Gray Company and was afterward 
Co. F. 45th Georgia Regiment. During the Civil War his large 
plantation helped to feed the soldiers, the widows and children 
left here and others who needed help. He did all in his power to 
help the Confederate cause. 

During reconstruction, Gray, with others like Col. Blount, Dr. 
Barron, Roland Ross and others did a great work in keeping 
Tones County in the hands of the white people. When he died 
he left the bulk of his property to Mercer University to be used

to educate the boys of Jones County. The County site of Gray 
was named for him. Jones County’s first citizen, no other county 
had one more loyal. 

The famous recipe of James Gray for mint julep: “Into each 
glass goblet pour a few spoonsful of sweetened water, pack in 
crushed ice, then pour a ruby colored liquor grown old in the deep 
cellar, use a wine glass full. Plant a bunch of fresh mint in the 
top of each glass. Use a toddy stick to bruise the mint as the 
guest chooses.”

Griswold’s decided to take their daughter Lucia, b. August 6, 
1816, and come south to a better climate. They came to Clinton, 
Jones Co., Ga. about 1820. He secured employment as a clerk 
in a store in the village and his wife, to assist him, secured work 
as a tailoress, and so occupied her spare hours for several years. 

Samuel was possessed of native shrewdness in business and a 
sterling character. In a few years he had saved enough money, 
which together with his good credit, enabled him to establish a 
factory for the manufacture of cotton gins. It was located where 
Roy Coulter now lives, and he built a house across the road on 
Bonnner’s Hill. When the railroad was built from Savannah to 
Macon he saw the advantage of having his factory on a railroad, 
so he bought a tract of land, established the village of Griswold- 
ville in Jones Co., and located his plant there, which was making 
900 gins a year. He built about twenty homes for his employees, 


402 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


a large house for himself, one for his son, a grist mill, a saw mill 
and a church. He made holes through twelve foot logs and plac¬ 
ing them end to end piped water to his dwelling and mill. He 
soon accumulated a fortune, and much land. During the Civil 
War his factory was leased to the Confederate government and 
made pistols and munitions. When Sherman came through in 
1864, he saw that the entire works was leveled to the ground by 
fire. 

The revolver made at Griswoldville was called the Griswold 
and Grier Revolver. It had a brass frame, 1 1 / 2 in. barrel, a 36 
caliber, fired six shots, rifled, six grooves right. Made from 
1862-64. No marks on it except the serial 2419 on cylinder and 
left side of frame and barrel lug. There were 3,600 of these 
pistols made before the factory was burned, (see cut) 

An account of the gins Griswold made is found in the “Letters 
of S. H. Griswold,” who was a grandson.

COL. BENJAMIN HAWKINS 
Col. Benjamin Hawkins for several years was a citizen of 
Jones County and his will is recorded here and may be found 
in the Ordinary’s office at the Gray courthouse. He was born in 
Butte Co. (now Warren Co.) of North Carolina on August 15, 
1754. His parents were Col. Philemon and Delia Martin Hawk¬ 
ins. Benjamin Hawkins went to Princeton until the Revolution¬ 
ary War suspended it. He was good in French and became the 
translator for George Washington and was with him at the Bat¬ 
tle of Monmouth in 1779. He was a member of Congress in 
1782-83. In 1785 he was appointed Commissioner to treat with 
the Cherokees, and other Indians South of them, as well as to 
deal with the Creeks; duties which he faithfully performed. In 
1786 he was again elected to Congress, and in 1889 to the U. S. 
Senate for six years. After this he was appointed Supt. of all 
Indian affairs South. He established a large farm, built mills, 


404 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


houses, wagons and had implements of all kinds. The inventory 
of his estate shows that his library was a very fine one. His 
large herd of cattle the Indians helped protect while he lived, but 
stole them when he died. His slaves and estate were probably 
worth a million dollars. 

Benjamin Hawkins’ will dated Jan. 9, 1812 and probated 
Sept. 2, 1816 names his wife Lavinia Downs and a son Madison, 
daughters, Georgia, Muskogee, Cherokee, Carolina, Virginia, a 
nephew, William Hawkins of N. C. as beneficiaries. The will 
was witnessed by: Christian Lumbough, Thomas M. Ellis, and 
John Jameson. 

Mary Downs, sister of Mrs. Benjamin Hawkins ( Lavinia 
Downs) mar. Henry Carr whose son was Henry, Jr., who mar. 
his first cousin Virginia Hawkins, dau. of Lavinia and Benj. 
Hawkins. The Carrs moved West about 1850, Mary died in 
1851. Benjamin’s dau. Muscogee mar. Capt. Christopher Kizer 
on April 20, 1819 in Clinton, Ga. 

George Washington asked Hawkins to accept the Indian 
agency, and because of a sense of duty he accepted. This man, 
well educated and wealthy gave up a life he had been educated 
and fitted for to go into the Indian wilderness and spend the rest 
of his life for his country. He resigned the post several times, 
but no President would accept his resignation as they felt that he 
was indispensible to his country in that capacity. Many Indians 
named their sons for Hawkins. Stalwart Indian warriors signed 
their cross marks to the name of “Benjamin Hawkins”. He was 
a close friend of Gen. Nathaniel Greene. So friendly were the 
Indians that in the war of 1812, a regiment was raised with Col. 
Hawkins as their Col. and the celebrated Chief Wm. McIntosh 
as the Lt. Col. 

Our history shows no finer character than this sterling patriot 
who gave up a career in the Senate to bury himself in the wilder¬ 
ness for twenty years to serve his country. (“Men of Mark,” by 
William Northern) 

Col. Hawkins possessed a degree, not only of science to con¬ 
ceive anything he desired, but the common sense necessary to its 
full achievement. Fort Hawkins was built as protection against 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


405 


the Indians and was used as a trading post, a source of army 
supplies, for treaty making and the paying of annuities. 

This was built in 1806 and was a place of considerable im¬ 
portance during the war of 1812 and the subsequent Indian wars. 
Col. Hawkins was a diplomat and no doubt made the lives of 
both Indians and whites better and safer while he lived. In July 
1817 over 1,400 Indians assembled at Fort Hawkins for annu¬ 
ities. No doubt the setting was unusual, with the haughty chiefs 
seated around their campfires and in the background the tower¬ 
ing pine trees and the old forts, as Col. Hawkins and the others 
talked with the chiefs and settled their difficulties. The Indians 
loved Hawkins and the four tribes, Creeks, Cherokees, Choctaws 
and Chickasaws named him, “Beloved man of the Four Na¬ 
tions”. He played an important role in the history of Jones as 
well as Bibb County, and America. 

He moved his headquarters to the old Agency on the Flint 
river and after 1819 no garrison was stationed here. Col Hawk¬ 
ins died June 6, 1816 at the Agency and was buried on the banks 
of the Flint river. It is said that his trusty Negro bodyguard is 
buried by him, in the plot overlooking the territory that was at 
one time an Indian reservation which he commanded. Weeds 
and brush grew over his grave, but 131 years later the Boy 
Scouts found the grave and cleared it and now it is marked and 
cared for by a Crawford County Commission. 

ROBERT VINES HARDEMAN 

Robert Vines Hardeman was born in Oglethorpe Co., Ga., on 
April 26, 1800. He was the son of John Hardeman, a soldier of 
the Revolution who came to Georgia from Va. in 1784. His 
mother was Nancy Anne Collier, daughter of Vines Collier, an 
officer of the Colonial army who was present and participated in 
the capture of Fort Duquesne in the French and Indian Wars 
and later rendered special service during the Revolution. He, 
too, migrated from Va. to Wilkes Co. (later Oglethorpe) where 
Nancy was born. His father John Hardeman I, died in Ogle¬ 
thorpe Co. 1804. He was a strong advocate of the advantages 
of an education and saw that his sons had the best training avail¬ 
able. Old papers indicate that he was a man of prominence in his 
day. Robert Vines Hardeman was a prominent member of the 


406 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Ga. Bar Association,, served as Judge of the Ocmulgee Circuit 
Superior Court, represented Jones County in the State legis¬ 
lature and was a Col. in the Cherokee Indian War. He married 
Elizabeth Clark Henderson on March 1, 1826. They lived at 
their plantation house “Sleepy Hollow”, near Clinton where they 
reared their family and where he died May 17, 1871. They had 
five sons to grow to maturity. Isaac and Robert V. Hardeman, II 
were lawyers of ability who settled in Macon, Ga. Dr. John Har¬ 
deman, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, was for 
years a prominent Christian and physician of Haddock. Thomas 
Hardeman was a successful lawyer at Louisville, Ga. and the 
father of Judge Robert N. Hardeman. Another son, Frank 
Hardeman lost his life during the Civil War in 1864 and was 
buried at Lynchburg, Va. Judge Robert Vines Hardeman and 
wife Elizabeth C. Henderson are buried in the old Clinton ceme¬ 
tery in Jones Co. 

“Judge R. V. Hardeman lived at Sleepy Hollow, where Mr. 
Abe James now lives. He had been paralyzed some time and 
spent most of the time sitting on his front veranda. He was in his 
usual seat when Sherman’s Yankees came rushing through. They 
soon had his horses and mules, and there was one mule which 
was a mule sure enough, and no one on the place could ride him. 
A Yankee had him bridled and was informed by some of the 
negroes on the place that no one could ride him; that he had 
never been ridden. “Oh”, said the Yankee, “I’ll ride him he has 
never had a real live Yankee on him before.” He saddled him, 
hung his accoutrements upon the saddle, mounted and attempted 
to ride him, when lo, the mule jumped, crop-hopped, doubled 
up, bucked and threw Yankee, saddle and all head foremost over 
his head. ‘Oh, oh,” laughed Judge Hardeman, who had witness¬ 
ed the performance from his seat on the porch, “he rever rode 
a real live Georgia mule before.”

ISAAC HARDEMAN 

Col. Isaac Hardeman (1834-1914) a Lt. Col. in the Civil 
War, was born at the old Hardeman homeplace, “Sleepy Hol¬

1845, Judge of the Ocmulgee Circuit Oct. 1853-Dec. 1859; he 
was one of the prosecutors of Elijah Barber in the celebrated 
Jesse L. Bunkley case in Jones Co. His wife Elizabeth C. Hen¬ 
derson Hardeman was b. Mar. 3, 1804, d. June 16, 1892. Isaac 
Hardeman, son, was brought up in the atmosphere of giant 
minds of great lawyers in old Clinton and he studied law and 
was admitted to the bar in 1855 after graduating from the Uni¬ 
versity of Ga. He mar. Marietta Taylor Pitts of Jones County 
on Nov. 5„ 1856. He enlisted in the service of the Confederate 
States at Clinton June 9, 1861. He became a Lt. Col. and was 
captured and imprisoned twice during the War. He fought in 
many major battles during the war, making a brilliant record. 
He came back to Jones County after the war to practice law at 
Clinton. His wife died June 18, 1866. On March 5, 1867 he 
married Mrs. Lucia Griswold Conn, widow of Charles A. Conn 
of Milledgeville, who was killed in the war. They had one son, 
Charles Giles Conn. Lucia was the daughter of Giles Humphreys 
Griswold and Penina Temperance Newton Griswold of Gris- 
woldville, Jones Co., who married Sept. 2, 1841. She was a 
granddaughter of Samuel Griswold (son of Jeremiah Griswold) 
and Louisa Forbes (daughter of Elisha Forbes) who were mar¬ 
ried in Connecticut on April 7, 1813. Samuel Griswold the gin- 
maker later settled in Clinton, Jones County. In 1872 Col. Isaac

408 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Clarke Henderson Hardeman. His boyhood was spent at the 
old plantation home “Sleepy Hollow”, near Clinton and his edu¬ 
cation received at Clinton. From there he entered Oglethorpe 
University at Midway. He was granted special permission by 
the college officials to bring his bird dogs to which he was deeply 
attached. He was a member of the Thalian Society and graduat¬ 
ed from Oglethorpe in 1858. After leaving Oglethorpe he enter¬ 
ed the University of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia as a medical 
student, completing his training at the Pennsylvania Hospital, 
March 10, 1860. The subject of his Senior thesis was, “Ap¬ 
oplexy.” 

At the outbreak of the War Between the States he “shoulder¬ 
ed arms”, rather than accept a safer place offered in the hospit¬ 
al service. He chose to cast his lot at the battle front where he 
served for four years as Captain of Company F of the 45th Ga. 
Regiment and was known to his comrades as “Captain Jack”. 
His record in the war was an enviable one of which he was justly 
proud. He served with Gen. Stonewall Jackson and other noted 
Confederate Officers and participated in many major battles. 
While attached to the Army of Northern Virginia, under com¬ 
mand of Gen. Jackson, he saw his heaviest fighting, and lost his 
right thumb at Petersburg, Va., 1865. 

On February 20, 1867, he married Mary Dorothy Whitaker 
of Midway, Ga. After his marriage he settled at Haddock, Ga. 
where he practiced medicine for many years until a stroke of 
paralysis forced him to retire from active service which was 
seven years before his death on January 23, 1914. He was a 
deeply religious man and practiced his Christianity as well as his 
profession. For a number of years he was Supt. of the Pleasant 
Grove Sunday School and never missed a service if he had to stay 
up all night he would somehow manage to be there. The church 
was eight miles away. 

Dr. and Mrs. John Hardeman were the parents of one daugh¬ 
ter, Margaret Hardeman, who married James Cook of Colum¬ 
bus, Ga., and has one daughter, Margaret Cook Hendricks.

410 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Iverson, who married Caroline Goode Holt. Young Iverson 
spent his childhood in Washington City and in Columbus, Ga. 
He was at the Military Institute in Tuskegee, Ala. when the 
Mexican war began. Though only seventeen years of age, he was 
so eager to go to the war that his father allowed him to leave 
school and enter a Ga. Regiment, that he had largely been in¬ 
strumental in equipping. After his service in Mexico he com¬ 
menced to study law in his father’s law office in Columbus, Ga. 
but soon grew tired of that and began contracting on railroads 
in Georgia. In 1855 he received the appointment of First Lieut, 
in the United States Calvary, a regiment just then authorized by 
Congress. He recruited a company, mostly from Ga., and Ken¬ 
tucky, and reported for duty to Col. E. V. Sumner at Jefferson 
Barracks, Missouri. He was sent into Kansas during the troubles 
in that territory in 1856. While stationed at Carlisle, Pa., he 
married Miss Harriet Harris Hutchins, daughter of Judge 
N. L. Hutchins, of Gwinnett County, Ga. He was in the expedi¬ 
tion against the Mormons and on frontier duty at Fort Washita, 
Indian Territory, and engaged in expeditions against the Co- 
manchees and Kiowas. 

When Georgia seceded from the Union, Lieut. Iverson re¬ 
signed his Commission from the U. S. Army, and goint to Mont¬ 
gomery, then the capitol of the Confederacy, offered his sword 
to the new republic. He was appointed Captain in the provisional 
army of the Confederate States, and ordered to report to Gen. 
Holmes in Wilmington, N. C. Here he was put in command of 
companies at the mouth of the Cape Fear river. Upon their or¬ 
ganization into a regiment known as the Twentieth North Caro¬ 
lina, he was elected Colonel and commissioned August 20, 1861. 
His command remained at the Cape Fear region until a few days 
before the Seven Days Battles around Richmond. Gen. D. H. 
Hill in a description of the battle of Gaines Mill said, “We dis¬ 
covered that our lines overlapped that of the Federal forces and 
saw two brigades (after ascertained to be under Lawton and 
Winder) advancing to make a frontal attack upon the regulars. 
Brig.-Gen. Samuel Garland and G. B. Anderson Commanding 
N. C. Brigades in my division, asked permission to move forward 
and attack the right flank and rear of the division of regulars. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


411 


The only difficulty in the way was a Federal battery with its in¬ 
fantry supports, which could infilade them in their advance. Two 
regiments of Elzey’s brigade which had gotten separated in go¬ 
ing across the swamp, were sent by me, by way of my left flank, 
to the rear of the battery to attack the infantry support, while 
Col. Alfred Iverson of the Twentieth N. C. charged it in front. 
The battery was captured and held long enough for the two bri¬ 
gades to advance across the open plain.” This referred to the 
battle around the McGhee house. Col. Iverson was wounded dur¬ 
ing the Seven Days Battles, but when Hill’s Division reinforced 
Lee after the second Manassas, he was in the field again, and 
participated in the battles of South Mountain and Sharpsburg. 
General Garland having been killed in Maryland, Col. Iverson 
was made a Brig.-General November 1, 1862. At Chancellors- 
ville and Gettysburg he led this brigade. He was, after these bat¬ 
tles, ordered to relieve H R. Jackson at Rome, Ga., where all 
the State forces were collected. When these were sent to other 
points and Bragg had fallen back upon Dalton, Iverson was put 
in command of a Ga. Brigade of Calvary in Martin’s Division 
of Wheeler’s Corps. He shared the arduous duties and brilliant 
victories of the calvary during the campaign of 1864. Near 
Macon (at Sunshine Church in Jones County) with 1300 men 
he defeated Stoneman’s force of 3000, and captured Stoneman 
himself with 500 of his men. 

After the war was over he settled in Macon where he engaged 
in business until 1877. He then moved to Orange County Fla., in 
which state he has since resided, engaging in orange culture. In 
1878 he married the second time Miss Adela Branham, daughter 
of Dr. Joel Branham. In 1898 he resides at his orange groves 
near Kissimee, Oceola Co., Florida.

COL. WILLIAM JONES 

Kimbrough Jones of Warren County, N. C., married Mary 
Lynne Green and came to Wilkes, Elbert, Green and Baldwin 
Counties. As Jones County was formed from Baldwin, this line 
of Jones’ had lived in Finney’s District for several years. The 
old William Jones House was probably built before 1803 and 
was used for the first courthouse in Jones County. An account 
of this house may be found in another chapter. From this line 
of Jones’, was also James Jones of Chatham County for whom 
this county was named. 

Col. William Jones was the son of William Jones, Sr. The 
former was born in 1799 and died in 1822 and buried there in 
the family graveyard. His brother James Jones, (not the name¬ 
sake of the county) born 1774-1828 is also buried there. Col. 
Wm. Jones, Jr., had a son Wiley Jones whose daughter was 
Valeria Jones who married Henry G. Lamar. These Jones’ were 
relatives of the Davis family who owned joining lands. 

Col. Wm. Jones wielded a strong influence on the newly form¬ 
ed county of Jones, when there was no money to operate on, little 
law or order and the settlers had not really “settled”. Found in 
some very old minutes in the first book of that period, I quote: 
“Georgia: Agreeable to an Act of the General Assembly passed 
at Milledgeville the 10th of December, 1807. the Honorable 
Justices of the Inferior Court for the County of Jones met to 
select a Grand Jury and Petit Jury for said county on the 18th 
of February, 1808. Present their Honors: William Binion, 
William Jones, Hugh M. Comer-Esquires. 

The court proceeded to the drawing of the Grand Jury and 
Petit Jury for the Superior court to be held in the said County 
on the first Monday in April, 1808. The following were drawn 
to serve as Grand Jurors.

his companions and left to execute the order alone, which he did 
to the admiration and astonishment of all. For this act, a com¬ 
mission was offered him in the regular army. However, he mod¬ 
estly declined, on the grounds that he was too young and in¬ 
experienced to assume such responsibilities as he was only seven¬ 
teen. He served under Gen. Marion and Pickens, attached gen¬ 
erally to the battalions of the latter. 

He was in the battle of Eutaw and Cowpens and at the seige 
of Augusta and in several other engagements: he was once taken 
prisoner, but made his escape from the Camp of Lord Corn¬ 
wallis, rescuing at the same time one of his cousins. He was 
twice wounded during the war by the British and once by the 
Indians after moving to Jones County.” 

John Lamar married a cousin of Jefferson Davis. Chief Justice 
Osburn O. Lochrane married a daughter of Judge Lamar’s. 
Henry Graybill Lamar was a son of John Lamar. 

HENRY GRAYBILL LAMAR 

Old records of Jones County show that many Lamars lived 
here and among them we find the names, James, Jeremiah, John, 
Zachariah, Henry and many others. 

Henry G. Lamar, was a lawyer, a noted ante-bellum Congress¬ 
man and jurist and a native of Jones County. He was a candidate 
for Governor in 1857 at which time a deadlock in the convention 
resulted in the choice of Joseph E. Brown. Gov. Brown after¬ 
ward appointed him to the Supreme Court Bench. Henry Lamar 
was a member of Congress from 1829 to 1833. His father was 
John Lamar, a Revolutionary Soldier. He moved over to Macon 
in 1824 and was Rep. from Bibb Co. in 1828. He died in Macon 
in 1861. He married Valeria B. Jones who was the daughter of 
Wiley Jones and the granddaughter of William Jones, in whose 
home the first courts of Jones County were held. Henry G. La¬ 
mar and Valeria Jones Lamar’s son, Walter D. Lamar married 
Dorothy Blount, daughter of James Blount, who was also born 
in Jones County. 

MASSEY’S 

Oren Webb Massey Came to Georgia from Rockingham 
County, N. C. in 1831 with parents, Abram and Elizabeth Webb 
Massey. He located in Jones County, and the youthful Orren be-

gan his ten-year apprenticeship with Samuel Griswold who was 
manufacturing gins at Clinton. In 1838 Orren mar. Mrs. Martha 
D. Phillips Wimberly, a widow with two children, Mary E. and 
Lewis Wimberly. Their ch. were five sons: William Abram, 
Benjamin Irwin, Milton Madison, Charles Henry and James 
Butler Massey. The last two died young. In 1841 Massey es¬ 
tablished his own busines at Clinton, ‘repairing gins and manu¬ 
facturing gins of a superior quality’. 

He located in 1846 three miles from Macon on the Gordon 
road, and founded a Methodist church at Masseyville, the site 
of the Massey Gin and Machine Works. William and Benja¬ 
min E. lost their lives in the Civil War in 12th Ga. Reg. The 
place of the foundry, a tannery, gin works and repair shops were 
all burned by Federal forces in 1864. Orren Massey mar. Eliza¬ 
beth Gantt of Clinton in 1867, and rebuilt the works. Their 
chil. were: Louis James, Orren Webb, Jr., Lucius Henry and 
Walter Mattauer Massey. 

The Massey Gin and Machine Works, Inc., has been in this 
family for 104 years, with four generations carrying on the tra¬ 
dition of hard work, loyalty, honesty and tenacity on which the 
business was founded. 

CHARLES J. MCDONALD 

Gov. Charles J. McDonald was born in Charleston, S. C. on 
July 9, 1793 and came to Hancock Co., Ga. at twenty years of 
age. He was elected Judge of the Flint Circuit. He had received 
his education through the kindness of Farish Carter who had 
married his sister Eliza in 1811. McDonald married a sister of 
Farish Carter, who was a grandchild of Col. Benjamin Cleve¬ 
land and Mary Graves. 

At thirty Charles McDonald was made a Brigadier General 
of the State Militia. He was elected Governor of Georgia in 
1839-1843. He was Judge on the Supreme Bench from 1855-59. 
While he was Governor he recommended the creation of a Su¬ 
preme Court in 1841, and it was organized in 1845. Charles J. 
McDonald was a classmate of Jesse Bunkley’s from Clinton at 
Franklin College, Athens, Ga. He was listed in Baldwin County 
Tax Digest in 1818 and on the Jones County Digest in 1819 as 
owning lands on Walnut Creek, through 1821. When the Clinton 


416 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Academy was chartered in 1821, Charles J. McDonald, James 
Smith, Samuel Lowther, Henry G. Lamar and Gustaves Hen¬ 
dricks were made trustees. 

McDonald made a good governor during his tenure of office. 
Georgia needed a strong hand at that time, to restore the credit 
of the State. I quote two outstanding remarks that he made, “I 
have never bargained for any office, and if I do not receive it 
without conditions, I will never receive it.” The second quote, 
“The first thing to be regarded in a Republic is the virtue of the 
people; the second their intelligence. Both are essential to the 
maintenence of our institutions; the first inspires them with a dis¬ 
position to do right, the second arms them with power to resist 
wrong.” There were troubles with Indians on the Florida bord¬ 
er, and also the difficulties, financially of constructing the West¬ 
ern and Atlantic railroad, both of which he handled to his credit 
and that of the State. 

Charles J. Macdonald built and lived in a white house situ¬ 
ated on a rise back of the Lowther Place in Clinton. This prop¬ 
erty was later bought by Mrs. S. Pursley and then by Alfred 
George and this land is still known as the George Place. Mc¬ 
Donald moved to Macon probably about 1823, as he is listed 
as a Commissioner of Bibb Co. and later a Sol. Gen. of the 
Superior Court there. He lived on Walnut Street in the old 
Lightfoot House. He died in Marietta, Ga. Dec. 16, 1860. 
Sherman’s troops burned this home in 1864 and later Gov. 
Joseph M. Brown built his home on the same spot. 

He married Anne Franklin, daughter of Dr. Franklin of Ma¬ 
con in 1819, had four children, he married second in 1839 Mrs. 
Ruffin of Va., they had no children. 

WILLIAM J. NORTHERN 
Peter Northern was of Scotch descent. The son of William 
and Margaret Northern of North Carolina was born on April 7, 
1794. They moved to Georgia and settled near Powelton and 
later moved to Jones County where William J. Northern was 
born. When Peter died he left funds and directions that his son 
have all of the educational advantages possible. William loved 
books and he secured a good education, graduating from Mercer 
University, 1853 at 18 yrs., he taught with Dr. Carlisle Beeman

in the Mt. Zion Academy in Hancock Co. and later became the 
head of this school and made it famous. In 1861 he enlisted with 
the south in the Civil War. In 1874 he sought health on the 
farm, became a planter and legislator and represented the con¬ 
servative element in Georgia politics. He married Miss Louisa 
Davis of Jones Co. in 1817 and they both were baptized by Rev. 
Talbot at the Flat Shoals church in Jones Co., where he became 
a deacon. In 1840 he left Jones Co., to take charge of Stewart’s 
Hall at Mercer Institute. For many years he was Treasurer of 
the Ga. Baptist Convention. He represented Jones County in 
the Legislature several terms. He gave three acres of land to 
Salem church in Jones Co. (He lived in southeastern Jones Co.) 

He was a Capt. at 69 years of age in the Confederate Army. 
He at one time conducted a school for boys at Kirkwood near 
Atlanta, and many Jones Co. boys attended this school. Richard 
Henry Bonner, son of Capt. R. W. Bonner was a student there. 
This school was noted for its courses in mathematics and civil 
engineering. 

There was a hot campaign for governor between Northern 
and Livingston which threatened to split the Ga. Alliance, so it 
was agreed that Livingstone would run for Congress and North¬ 
ern for Governor. John Temple Graves on Aug. 7, 1890 pre¬ 
sented Northern’s name for Gov. and he was nominated by ac¬ 
clamation and inaugurated on Nov. 8, 1890, serving two, two- 
year terms. Clark Howell from Fulton was Speaker of the 
House and Robt. Mitchell, Pres, of the Senate. Pres, of the 
United States, Benjamin Harrison, visited the Capitol and was 
the guest of Gov. Northern. The Gov. appointed Allen D. Cand¬ 
ler (later made Gov.) Sec. of State. 

Gov. William Northern was born July 9th, 1835 in Southeast¬ 
ern Jones County and died at 78 years in Greene Co. Ga. He was 
one of Georgia’s foremost governors. He is the author of a book 
(in two volumes) called, “Men of Mark.” He is listed as a 
member of the Flat Shoals Baptist Church which was located 
near Commissioner’s Creek. 

As Gov. he was noted for securing better school facilities and 
while he was in office the Normal School at Athens and

G. N. I. C. at Milledgeville and the Negro school in Savannah 
were opened. He married second Mattie M. Neel, Dec. 19, 1860 
and had a son and a daughter. 

DANIEL PRATT 
Architect and Industrial Builder 

Daniel Pratt arrived in Savannah on Nov. 23, 1819 in the 
brig “Favorite”, under Capt. Hart from Boston: he went to 
Milledgeville, the capitol in 1821; bought the homeplace of Mr. 
and Mrs. John W. Gordon near Fortville in 1825, married Miss 
Esther Ticknor, aunt of the poet Francis Orray Ticknor in Clin¬ 
ton in 1827. He built a house in Clinton for Mr. and Mrs. Sam¬ 
uel Lowther in 1822, a house near Haddock for John W. Gor¬ 
don, 1824-25-28, and Westover near Milledgeville for Benja¬ 
min Jordan around 1830, and a house at Fortville for Wm. 
Moughon. The latter houses have spiral stairways, while the 
Lowther house had an elliptical stair. The Masonic lodge in 
Milledgeville has been ascribed to him as the plans were drawn 
before he left Jones Co. in 1823-33. There are other homes 
thought to be designed by him. He was a partner in the gin works 
with Samuel Griswold for several years, at Clinton. 

In 1833 Daniel Pratt moved to Alabama. In 1838 he purchas¬ 
ed the land on which Prattsville, Ala. was built. Here he built gin 
shops which he replaced in 1840-41. The new shops which were 
additions to the old ones were built in 1898-99. His home de¬ 
signed and built by him in 1842 was almost a replica of the house 
he built in Jones Co. near Haddock for Gen. Gordon. He de¬ 
signed the handsome iron fence around the house also. He built 
his first cotton mill in 1845 which was partly destroyed by a 
flood in 1886, but rebuilt in 1887. a new part was added in 1899. 
His descendants are partners or co-owners of the Continental 
Gin Co. and the Pratts are largely responsible for the develop¬ 
ment of coal an iron industries in and around Birmingham, Ala. 

There is in existence a set of India Ink drawings with an es¬ 
timate of the cost for the capitol of Alabama, by Daniel Pratt. 
He did not build the Capitol but did submit drawings and esti¬ 
mates. 

Dec. 21, 1846, the Honorary Degree of Master in the Me¬ 
chanical and Useful Arts was conferred upon Daniel Pratt by

the University of Alabama. Daniel Pratt died in 1873, May 13. 
Born July 20, 1799, in Temple, N. H. 

These Pratts are listed in Jones Co. records: 1820—John 
Pratt, Thos. A. Pratt, Hillery Pratt, Daniel Pratt. 

PEYTON T. PITTS 
By S. H. Griswold—1908 

Peyton T. Pitts was called both Judge and Captain, for he 
was a Judge of the Inferior Court and was also a Captain in the 
Jones County Volunteers in the Civil War. He was a large¬ 
framed man with a commanding appearance, had a genial dispo¬ 
sition and was well liked by all. He wa*s a natural sportsman 
and loved his rod, gun and dogs. He was a Christian gentleman 
and a pillar in the Methodist church. He was a Whig in Poli¬ 
tics and represented the county in the legislature and was one of 
the County’s delegates to the Secession Convention in Milledge- 
ville. 

He lived on the Garrison Road halfway between Macon and 
Milledgeville on what is now known as the Bat Peterson Place. 
He had a large two story white house with a long veranda 
across the front. In the rear he had a pigeon house and many 
pigeons which he fed early in the mornings from a basket full of 
grain. His place was a village within itself as he had the slaves 
quarters, wagonshops, cotton gin and grain houses and cribs 
for corn. Every house was painted white and situated in a large 
oak grove, a typical plantation of that time. Peyton Pitts mar¬ 
ried first the daughter of Major John R. Moore a leading citizen 
in the county. She did not live long and in a year he married her 
sister, who also died in a few years, then he married Mary Bu¬ 
ford Hill, a niece of Dr. and Mrs. Thos Bowen of Clinton. She 
survived him by several years and died at Clinton in 1905. Mary 
and Peyton had two sons, Peyton, Jr., and Abb. He had had a 
daughter by one of the Moore girls who married Henry Gibson. 
Peyton Pitts built a nice Methodist church at the Crossroads and 
it was called “Pitts Chapel”, (see picture). He was the main 
supporter of this church and he also built the Negroes a church 
and helped to support this. 

He went on hunting trips with F. S. Johnson, Sr., and son 
Sam, Ben Finney, Giles Griswold, T. S. Pitts, Jr., and Tom

Bivins. They would go on deer hunts and camp out down in Tel¬ 
fair and Irwin counties. They took fishing trips to Buckhead and 
the Ogeechee river. He was the most hospitable man you ever 
saw. His wife was a splendid housekeeper, cook, and could man¬ 
age the plantation in his absence. Peyton Pitts had a fair knowl¬ 
edge of medicine and was often called on for help when anyone 
in the community was ill, as the only doctor was fifteen miles 
away by horseback. One night a farmer boy came for him to see 
his wife, and Pitts delivered a fine baby. He had never done this 
before and felt uneasy about it, but before he could undress to 
go to bed he heard horse hoofs pounding and the farmer very ex¬ 
cited said that he believed his wife was dying. Pitts went racing 
back to their cabin as frightened as the farmer was. He tried to 
remember everything that the doctor book said, and when he got 
there he was just in time to deliver the second child, and he was 
so relieved to know that he had not done something wrong with 
the first one. He rode back two or more miles to his home and 
again he heard the horse and the poor farmer was hardly co¬ 
herent he was so excited, so Pitts went back with him, both run¬ 
ning their horses as fast as they could go. He felt like something 
terrible had had happened that time sure, but he delivered a 
third child and after waiting awhile to see if there was a fourth 
he went home wiser and determined not to be called on for any 
obstetrical case again. Strange to say this was the first and also 
the last time Peyton Pitts delivered a baby. However, the trip¬ 
lets lived and he would always point to them with great pride. 

After the war, he struggled with free labor and lost most of 
his wealth, so he sold his place to Jernigan Wood and built a 
smaller house in James and lived there until his death in the 
early 1900’s.

BENJAMIN REYNOLDS 

Benjamin Reynolds was a veteran of the Revolution. White 
says in his Historical Collections: “He was a native of Caroline 
Co., Va. As the Revolutionary War started he was too young to 
enter service, but as soon as his age would permit, he took up 
arms against the foe. After the war was over he moved to South 
Carolina, settling in a neighborhood, whose residents were loyal

to the British Crown. Benjamin Reynolds was so zealous in his 
devotion to the cause of liberty that he encountered the most 
violent persecution from his misguided neighbors. After the op¬ 
ening of Jones County, he was one of the first settlers to come.” 
Here he found that his neighbors felt as he did, and many Revo¬ 
lution soldiers here made him feel at home at once. These early 
settlers so zealous in their devotion to liberty found no Tories 
here.Reynolds lived to be seventy three years old and here he 
rested in the land of the freedom for which he had fought. 

ROLAND T. ROSS 

Roland T. Ross was born in the northeast corner of Jones 
County near the Putnam county line. At an early age Roland 
came to Clinton and was employed by Charles M. McCarthy, 
Clerk of Superior court. For several years he was assistant clerk 
for McCarthy until he died. Ross was elected to be Clerk of the 
court and Ordinary about 1860-1861. He wrote a smooth clear 
hand, and made a good officer, holding the office his lifetime 
except for one year. Thomas Gibson a gallant soldier, and of re¬ 
markable ability was elected but left Georgia before his term ex¬ 
pired, then Ross was put back in. James H. Blount and Isaac 
Hardeman were leading attorneys and supported Ross in this 
office. James M. Gray, leading citizen was a staunch supporter 
of Ross. 

Roland Ross was not only a splendid clerk and Ordinary, but 
during reconstruction, he, Blount, Gray, Hardeman and a few 
others out-maneuvered the Yankees in putting the blacks into 
office. On court weeks, Ross threw open his home to friends who 
traveled long distances to get there. He had written and handled 
so many legal papers, that he wrote many wills, executed many 
legal documents for people, never charging them for this service. 

If a man wanted to run for an office, he sought the support of 
Ross first, because of his popularity and influence. For a long 
time, Ordinarys had great powers, having charge of all county 
affairs such as come under county commissioners now, so this 
office was extremely important. Ross was Captain of a company 
in the state militia at the close of the Civil War. He was a mem¬ 
ber of the Methodist church in Clinton, and one of its main sup¬ 
porters. He held the Ordinary’s office until his death.

It was Ross who suggested naming Gray for James M. Gray, 
and so it was named. Ross has descendents in the county, who 
should be proud of his long and honorable record. 

Roland Ross’ father came from North Carolina and settled 
in the northeastern part of Jones County. Roland Ross married 
Fannie E. Morgan from Connecticutt. His children were: Jim,

a single duty. He practiced law with his father until 1824, when 
he moved to Ga. In 1828 he abandoned law and commenced his

Blount, who always assisted him runs like a thread of gold 
through many lives that bless our country. They both joined the 
Baptist Church and he was ordained a minister of the gospel in 
1835 that he might preach to destitute churches, which he did 
gratuitously throughout his long life. He taught successfully in 
Clinton at The Clinton Female Seminary, Penfield, Macon and 
Columbus, Ga. He took thirty of his students at Clinton over to 
Macon, forming the nucleus of the Wesleyan Female College, 
in the organization of which he assisted, and was chosen first 
professor of natural sciences. (This was the first college to give 
a diploma to females). In 1842, Thomas B. Slade moved to 
Columbus, Ga., where for thirty years, he was principal of a 
Female Institute of the highest grade and prosperity, although 
he was never known to ask for a pupil or to reject one because 
she was unable to pay. His wife was an active and efficient co¬ 
worker, the perfect union of strength and gentleness of charact¬ 
er, making her presence a blessing and an example to all who 
knew her. A fitting climax to their long wedded life of usefulness 
and happiness was the celebration of their Golden Wedding in 
1874, besides guests there were forty children and grandchild¬ 
ren. He died in Columbus, Ga., Feb. 12, 1891. 

“Two lives beautifully blended, as the rays of the setting sun, 
lighting and purpling the crystal clouds, until sun and clouds are

DR. PALACIA HARRISON WILSON STEWART 

Palacia Harrison Wilson Stewart, known as Dr. Polly Stewart 
was one of the first woman doctors in Georgia. She was a de¬ 
scendant of the Harrisons of Jamestown, Va., and her mother 
was Mary Cabaniss the daughter of George and Palacia Har¬ 
rison Cabiness. Her father was Wilson Larkin from Va., born 
in 1770. 

Palacia H. W. Stewart was born April 2, 1805 in Jones 
County, Ga., on a large plantation two miles east of Bradley. 
Her home still stands, and has recently been restored by a de¬ 
scendant, Mrs. Doris Hungerford Fraley. In front of this home 
at the time when Polly was growing up were the drill grounds 
for the Militia. Later she lived not far away at the home built 
by Thos. Ware Stewart, now known as the Joseph Glawson 
Place, built in 1842). 

Polly Harrison Wilson grew up on the plantation and was an 
attractive brunette. Her eyes were large and gray with heavy 
lashes, she had black hair, an exquisite complextion, regular fea¬ 
tures with a full lower lip (which the artists called an Egyptian 
nether lip). She was strong, healthy and very active. At sixteen, 
she married a man twice her age. On June 22, Thomas Ware 
Stewart took his girl-bride to his small plantation near Fortville. 
There Thomas and Polly brought their strength and knowledge

to bear, and soon they had two thousand acres and many slaves 
and were successful planters. Polly had thirteen children. When 
the thirteenth child was six weeks old her husband, Thomas 
Ware Stewart suddenly died. Polly faced life with thirteen chil¬ 
dren, a large plantation and almost one hundred slaves. 

Polly had studied and managed to get a fair medical educa¬ 
tion, and one May 13, 1848 she had passed examinations and 
was given a diploma in Medicine by “The Botanico Medical So¬ 
ciety”, of Hartford, Conn. This diploma is now in the possession 
of Miss May Stewart,, (granddaughter) at Gray, Ga., and is 
signed by H. A. Archer, M. D., Pres., J. J. Jacques, M. D., 
Vice-Pres., T. S. Sperry, M. D., Sec. 

Her services to the counties of Baldwin, Jasper and Jones 
during the Civil War was a heroic effort. She was constantly 
called to the bedside of the sick, and gave of her time, means 
and efforts. She was practical and when the occasion demanded, 
could use her temper. She was reared an Episcopalian, later 
joined the Presbyterians and after marriage was a Baptist. She 
attended church as much as her time would allow, but when 
she was absent she was distributing alms or caring for the sick. 
No man in Jones County did more for the Confederacy than Dr. 
Polly Stewart. Her six sons were in the Confederate Army, and 
all returned after the war except Polk who was killed and buried 
in Savannah. It was during the terrible war days that her execu¬ 
tive abilities counted most for her county and community. Other 
women whose impulses were equally generous and patriotic did 
little or nothing because they were without means, but Polly 
Harrison W. Stewart provided the means for her purposes. She 
had her farms producing at a maximum during the war, with all 
of the drawbacks and difficulties of that period. There were no 
grown sons at home to help, but she had great managerial ability 
and her slaves were faithful and worked hard. The many bales 
of cotton were ginned, the droves of sheep were shorn, the corn 
and wheat gathered and her spinning wheels, looms and dyeing 
went on six days a week. She used the bark of the sumac as a dye 
and could turn out the beautiful shade of Confederate gray used 
for the soldiers’ uniforms. 

Dr. Polly Stewart sent wagon loads of provisions to Clinton

Milledgeville and Macon. Not a dollar was paid or wanted, for 
these provisions. She gave gladly and eagerly and kept no rec¬ 
ords of her gifts. 

In August of 1864 when Stoneman’s Raiders met Iverson’s 
forces near what is now Round Oak, and Gen. Stoneman surrend¬ 
ered at Sunshine Church 1miles south of Round Oak, there 
were many wounded and killed. The old log church and field 
school called “Sunshine”, was filled with wounded Federals, 
with little or no attention. This was seven miles from Dr. Polly 
Stewart’s home, but she took her daughter, medical supplies, 
torn up sheets (for bandages), and food and went to that church 
day after day to care for the sick and wounded. Many people 
criticized her for doing this, even though she had six sons fight¬ 
ing under Gen. Lee and that she was an ardent Confederate. The 
Federal officer in charge of the base hospital of Sunshine Church 
was so impressed with her efficiency that he gave her printed 
notices to post on her land asking that no Federal harm her pos¬ 
sessions. When Sherman’s forces came through in November 
plundering and burning, his regular forces did respect the order, 
but the stragglers and bummers did not, so she lost her property. 

Dr. Polly Stewart organized the Jones Co. Soldiers’ Relief 
Society which had as President, Mrs. R. W. Bonner and as Vice- 
pres., Dr. Stewart, and when Mrs. Bonner died, Dr. Stewart be¬ 
came President. Captain Richard W. Bonner, later declared that 
the Confederate Government should erect a monument in her 
memory for her devoted services during the war. 

She believed in education and saw that all of her children had 
the opportunity to get an education. She moved to Macon from 
1853 to 1860 so that her girls could go to Wesleyan. 

Her children were: Thomas Jefferson, Polk, Larkin, Jasper, 
Joe Day, Mack, Mary Park and Martha, Marion Franklin, 
Henry J. two children died young. Mary Park mar. Jas T. Fin¬ 
ney and her granddaughter is Mrs. Gussie Finney Becking of

woman, nobly planned to warn, to comfort and command”. 

FRANCIS ORRERY TICKNOR — POET 

Francis Orrery Ticknor was born at Clinton, Jones County, 
Ga. in 1823, and his widowed mother moved to Columbus in his 
youth. She gave him a liberal education in one of the leading 
schools in Massachusetts; thereafter he studied medicine, al¬ 
though he later attended lectures in New York and Philadelphia 
and was graduated from a medical college in Pennsylvania. 

He married Miss Rose Nelson, the daughter of Thomas M. 
Nelson of Virginia, Pagebrook, Clark Co. She was the great- 
granddaughter of Colonel Byrd of Westover, Va. She loved to 
tell of her old home where she spent her childhood and it was in 
memory of this home that Francis Ticknor wrote the poem, 
“Virginians of the Valley”. 

“The knightliest of the knightly race, 

That since the days of old 
Have kept the lamp of chivalry 
Alight in hearts of gold. 

Who climbed the blue embattled hills 
Against uncounted foes, 


430 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


And planted there in valleys fair, 

The Lily and the Rose. 

Whose fragrance lives in many lands, 

Whose beauty stars the earth; 

And lights the hearths of happy homes 
With loveliness and worth.” 

Dr. Ticknor loved literature, but he loved also the culture of 
fruits and flowers, and after his marriage he bought a farm 
called “Torch Hill” in Columbus, Ga., so that this taste could 
be gratified. While driving back and forth to call on his patients 
he would write poems on prescription blanks, and some of his 
best poems were written this way. While engaged in conversation 
with a planter concerning agricultural matters, he jotted down 
his poem “Peruvian Guano”. 

The doctor was so afraid that this love of literature, books, 
music, plainting flowers and fruits would set a poor example to 
his young sons whom he was anxious to have grow up strong, 
sturdy workers, that he always wrote poetry under protest. One 
evening as his wife tried to get the youngest child, who was not 
well, to sleep, Dr. Ticknor sitting near, wrote the poem with this 
exquisite ending: 

“Sing of that glory 
So simple the task, 

The easiest story 
Childhood can ask! 

Not the harp that rejoices, 

Not the seraph that sings, 

Not the shouting of voices, 

Not the shining of wings; 

But the Peace and the Rest 

And the Love-light that smiled 
In the eyes of Christ 
On the soul of a child.” 

Dr. Ticknor’s poems are all about familiar themes, so that 
they have a local and pathetic interest. The circumstances under 
which he wrote “Little Giffen”, will be interesting, for it is a true 
story. Columbus, as so many cities of the South was filled with 
sick and wounded soldiers, brought in after a battle there. The 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


431 


ladies of the place were caring for them in any place they could 
put them. Mrs. Ticknor noticed a little fellow, Isaac Newton 
Giffen, who was scarcely more than a child, for he was not yet 
fifteen, he was so sick, emaciated and pale. She raised his head to 
give him nourishment and her mother-heart went out to the sick 
boy so far from home. She begged to take him to her country 
home where she could give him better care and her request was 
granted. He grew stronger, as she nursed him for seven long 
months. He was able to walk on crutches, and tried to help her 
about the house, so great was his appreciation for the help she 
had given him. Mrs. Ticknor taught him to read and write, for 
which he was very grateful. The news came that Gen. Johnston 
was being pressed by the enemy. “I must go”, he said, “but I 
will write, if I am spared”. 

He left and time went on, the battle was over but nothing was 
ever heard from Little Giffen. One of Dr. Ticknor’s best poems 
is “Little Giffen of Tennessee”. I quote: 

“A tear, his first, as he bade goodbye, 

Dimmed the glint of his steel blue eye, 

I sometimes fancy that were I king 
Of the courtly knights of Arthur’s ring 
With the voice of the minstrel in mine ear, 

And the tender legend that trembles here 
I’d give the best on his bended knee, 

The whitest soul of my Chivalry, 

For Little Giffen of Tennessee”. 

NACOOCHEE 
“The Evening Star” 

Child of Our Chattahoochee, 

Hid in the hills afar; 

Beautiful Nacoochee! 

Vale of the Evening Star! 

Smile of the tender Maiden— 

Song of her soul’s release— 

Lingering in their Aidenn, 

Blending with all thy peace. 

Clasp in the mountain shadows, 

The May-dew on thy breast—

Thy balm is the breath of meadows— 

Thy name is a hymn to “Rest!” 

The voice of a carol, calling 

The wings that have wandered far— 

Return! for the night is falling;— 

Rest! with the Evening Star.*

JANE THIGPEN 

Jane Thigpen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Zachariah Thigpen 
of Clinton, Ga., attended the Clinton Female Seminary. She 
had three brothers, Gilbert, a brilliant young lawyer-to-be, died 
young, Alexander Thigpen, a minister in the North Ga. Confer¬ 
ence, one brother killed in the Civil War, and two sisters, Car¬ 
rie and Frances Anne (Mrs. John H. Houser of Perry, Ga.) 
Zachariah Houser, a nephew now lives at Scott, Ga, and a niece, 
Mrs. Bill Edwards lives at Perry. The Thigpen family came 
from Scotland to North Carolina and then to Clinton, Jones 
County. 

Jane taught school at Clinton and at Rome and spent her 
leisure writing poems. Some of these she published in a book 
called “The Lover’s Revenge”. She autographed a copy of this 
for Captain R. T. Ross, then a political leader in the county. The 
book was published in 1876 by the J. W. Burke Co., of Macon, 
Ga. The book is dedicated to her mother and father. A note by 
the publisher reads: “The fair authoress who gives this delight¬ 
ful volume to the public is not unknown as a poetess. The read¬ 
ers of the “Home Circle,’ published at Nashville, Tenn., before 
the war will remember some beautiful poetry that appeared over 
the signature of ‘Jessie Linn’, the nom de plume of Jane Thig¬ 
pen. These articles were highly esteemed, and won golden opin¬ 
ions for the young writer. We give her poems to the world, be¬ 
lieving they will be appreciated by all lovers of genuine poetry.” 

Jane sent copies of her book to Henry Wadsworth Longfel¬ 
low and James Russell Lowell. Longfellow’s reply in a beautiful 
script is given below. Jane’s poems reflect the times in which she 
lived, the days of war, heartaches, despair, the loss of her 
brother and unrequited love. She was deeply in love with a Union

soldier, but could never bring herself to marry him although she 
never forgot him or married anyone else. Jane would never tell 
her age as she grew older, but most of her friends and relatives 
could always date it because of the fact that when the great Gen¬ 
eral Lafayette visited Clinton in 1825 he took her at two years 
on his knee and kissed her. Her parents always told of his speech 
from the old courthouse steps and of the kiss for their daughter. 
After retiring, she lived at James and was the correspondent for 
the Jones County News.She died at the home of her niece in 
Perry about 1914 and is buried there. 

She is remembered as being a dainty, small and vivacious 
woman with gentle and charming manners. 

This is a copy of the original letter which Henry W. Long¬ 
fellow wrote to Jane Thigpen when she sent him two copies of 
her book of poems, one to be given to James Russell Lowell. 

Cambridge, Mass. 

Jan. 8, 1877 

Dear Miss Thigpen: 

I have this morning had the pleasure of receiving your charm¬ 
ing Christmas present, the copy of your poems which you were 
kind enough to send me and hasten to thank you for this mark of 
your consideration and regard. 

I shall read the volume with much interest and sympathy, 
being curious to hear what the song-birds of the South are sing¬ 
ing and am sure of taking pleasure in their songs. 

But it will take a little time, for only newspaper critics can 
read a volume of verse in half an hour. 

Meanwhile please accept my best thanks for your kindness, 
and believe me, with all good wishes. 

Yours very Truly, 

Henry W. Longfellow 

P. S. Mr. Lowell’s copy shall be sent to him without delay. 

This letter is in possession of Mrs. Marvin C. Carter of Scott, 
Ga. copied by Lucile Ethridge (of Gray). I quote two of her 
poems taken from the book, “Lover’s Revenge”.

SPRING 

Earth has risen from her slumbers, 
Fresh and fair in morning light, 
Throbbing with new vigor, nourished 
By the restful winter’s night. 

She is culling for her vesture, 

Finest fabrics,, tenderest hues, 

She is sprinkled with sweet odors, 
And bathed in morning dews. 

For the sun, her lover, cometh, 

From his journey far away; 

And his ardent missives tell her 
He is nearing day by day. 

Ah, her beauteous cheek is flushing, 
And her heart beats quicker still; 

For she feels his eye upon her 
And its beams her pulses thrill. 
Lovely in her soft robes floating 
Round her form of wondrous grace; 
Lovely in her tints of beauty, 

And the smile that lights her face; 
On the soft blue ether resting, 

With the bending heavens above, 
As a bride in sweet expectance 
She awaits her coming love.

THE POET 

God giveth the poet to live in dreams, 

And though they fade away, 

They are still renewed from immortal streams, 

Like the glorious flood of day. 

His way may be thorny and rough and bare, 

And clouds o’er his sky be rolled, 

But the hue of the rose is everywhere, 

And the clouds are tipped with gold. 

The arrows are keen that pierce his heart, 

But their point is dipped in balm; 

In conflicts deadly his soul has part, 

But he leaves them with crown and palm. 

The path of life is above to him, 

And he treads it with purpose high, 

And with heavenward brow, that the world may not dim, 
The light of his glorious eye. 

Though forbidden to ask or to hope too much 
Of sympathy here below; 

Though the fountains of joy, unsealed by his touch 
He never on earth may know. 

He feels that his mission is holy and grand, 

A boon by the Holiest given— 

And he scatters the fruits with a liberal hand, 

That grew on the trees of Heaven.

Life and Letters of 
S. H. Griswold 

S. H. GRISWOLD 

The articles in this chapter were written by S. H. Griswold 
and published in the Jones County News in 1908 and 1909. M. 
C. Greene, a worthy citizen of Jones County was the owner and 
publisher of the Jones County News at this time. 

S. H. Griswold was the grandson of Samual Griswold and his 
wife Loisa Forbes Griswold who came to Clinton from Burling¬ 
ton, Conn., and were outstanding citizens of the county. Samuel 
Griswold was the gin maker and industrialist of that time. S. H. 
Griswold who wrote these articles was the son of Elisha and 
Anne Hardeman Griswold. He had brothers, Daniel Pratt, Char¬ 
lie and a sister Ellen who married R. V. Hardeman. He joined 
the Confederate Army when seventeen and was in the 45th Ga. 
Regiment, Co. F. Volunteers. Thomas Hardeman was the Col. 
and S. H. Griswold participated in many important battles. 

S. H. Griswold married Miss Laura Brown of Brown’s cross¬ 
ing in Nov. 1866, the Rev. Wesley P. Arnold performing the 
ceremony. He attended school at Emory at Oxford after going 
to Day’s School for Boys in Clinton. 

The many articles which S. H. Griswold wrote, gives wonder¬ 
ful information on the past of Jones County which otherwise 
would have been lost, and to him we give credit for this past 
record. As an old man he lived in Macon but he came back to 
Jones County at frequent intervals and always loved the county. 
He will be remembered as a foremost citizen, a soldier, a writer 
and most of all a true Southerner. 

S. H. and Laura Griswold’s children are: Samuel Sidney Gris¬ 
wold in Macon, Julia (Mrs. S. J. May), Ada (deceased) and 
Nelle Brown Griswold who married Peyton T. Anderson of

Macon and had two children; Peyton T. Anderson, Jr. owner 
of the Macon Telegraph and News and Mrs. Laura Nelle O’¬ 
Callaghan. 

LETTERS OF S. H. GRISWOLD 
Copied from the Jones County News—1908-9 
Odd Characters and Old Ways — S. H. Griswold 

Before the country west of the Ocmulgee river was purchased 
from the Indians, and before East Macon was built, or the river 
used for navigation, Fort Hawkins was occupied by a Garrison 
of U. S. soldiers and was a trading post for the Indians. The 
nearest city and market for Jones county was Augusta. The 
cotton was carried there by wagons, and brought back supplies 
for the next years crop, coffee, sugar, shoes and blankets and 
other things. 

The getting ready for the annual trip was a big event in the 
lives of the planters and their families. Wagons were over¬ 
hauled, tires shrunk, greased, and put in complete order. The 
harness was mended, greased, mules were shod and their manes 
and tails roached. Long bows of white oak splits were bent over 
the wagon body and heavy pieces of homespun cloth stretched 
over the bows to protect the load. Six big mules were hitched to 
the load and the driver riding the left hand wheel mule had a 
small leather line attached to the ring in the bit of the bridle 
on the left hand front or lead mule as he was called. When he 
wished to go to the right he pulled this line, when to the left 
he gave several short jerks. A lead stick was tied from the hames 
on the lead mule to the ring in the bridle bit of his mate, and 
as he went to the right or to the left he would pull by this stick 
or shove it so as to guide him. 

From six to eight bales of cotton was a load with the bedding 
and provisions for the master, the drivers, cooking utensils, and 
food for the mules. 

All was bustle and excitement as the wagon trains departed. 
The master rode his best horse or mayhaps a gig. The roads 
were poor and it took about four days to get to Augusta, and 
about as many to return. 


438 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


There were no cotton presses in those days and the bales were 
round and weighed about 350 lbs. 

The return of the wagons were looked forward to with great 
eagerness by the lady of the house, children and the slaves and 
their children. They usually returned in the night, and when the 
click of the wheels, and the rumble of the wagon was heard, 
down the road the youngsters black and white would rush shout¬ 
ing and laughing. 

How glad everyone was, a hearty meal and hot drinks awaited 
them, the children received gifts and the madam was delighted 
to get, a sack of coffee berries, loaf sugar, a bolt of cloth or a 
dress. The next day life went on as usual and there was no more 
contact with the outside world until next fall. 

After the country west of the Ocmulgee was bought from the 
Indians, David Flanders with a whip saw, cut lumber and built 
flat boats and barges and floated cotton to the sea down the 
Ocmulgee and polled them back up with goods of different sorts. 
This started the commerce of East Macon and Jones county, 
turned to it as a market. Flanders became one of the largest 
merchants of Macon and lived to be an old man seeing Macon 
outstrip Clinton. 

Sol Humphries, Negro, traded for cotton and sold supplies in 
East Macon and became very wealthy. 

There were those who made it a business to haul freight for 
the public. Among these was John McKissack from the north¬ 
east part of Jones. He had a son named Bill and they had a 
long strong wagon with a deep body with the ends turned up. 
Over the wagon a huge frame was covered with heavy cloth. He 
drove six fine mules, himself, and over the lead mules was a 
frame with small bells hanging which jingled sweetly as the mules 
went along. McKissack was a large man with a thick beard, and 
he was as rough as the life he led. He was a skillful driver and 
came on a regular schedule. Under the wagon trotted a large 
brown cur dog and from the back axle swung a tar bucket and 
paddle. It was said that he stayed on the road so much and 
camped, that he often struck camp when in sight of his own 
house.

The negro drivers on the plantations in Jones took great pride 
in having the best looking mules harness and wagon anywhere. 
The mules were brushed until they shone like satin, and silver 
ornaments were on the harness. The negro sat on the wheel mule 
as proud as a peacock with his whip to crack in the air. As he 
passed others on the road he wouldn’t even speak to them, but 
only others who had teams as fine, would he call to as he passed. 

In 1859 I lived at Griswoldville and Will Griswold and I 
wanted to go over to grandfather (Sam Griswold’s) plantation 
near Haddock and meet the wagon at the Stiles place and ride 
home. I shall never forget that night. The sky at midnight was 
lighted by a strange glow, not so bright as the sun but brighter 
than the moon. I lay in the wagon in wonder and awe at the 
sight of the large star with an immense tail, at least fifty feet 
spread like a huge fan, and so brilliant that you could see almost 
as well as day. This one we could see each night for several weeks 
and was such an awe inspiring sight that I shall never forget it. 
(Probably Halley’s Comet.) 

SOMETHING ABOUT CLINTON AND 
ITS INHABITANTS 

S. H. Griswold — May 14, 1908 — Jones Co. News 

At one time before the country west of the Ocmulgee was 
settled and when Macon was a very small place, Clinton was 
quite a flourishing town, with 36 stores and places of business 
with three large taverns and as many stables. These places of 
business were on the four sides of the square, in the center of 
which stood the courthouse. There was one brick house of three 
stories on the west corner, the lower rooms were used for stores, 
the middle story for family living rooms and the top story for 
the Masonic lodge. One of the taverns stood on the southeast 
corner of the square across from the jail. This tavern was burned 
years ago, and the site was used afterward for a blacksmith shop. 

Another tavern was directly in front of the courthouse on the 
northside of the square. This was also burned several years ago. 
The other was a block from the courthouse and was known as 
Mrs. Gibsons tavern, and was the place where Dr. James Bar- 


440 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


ron lived so long and which he called, “the old Castle” it was 
torn down a few years ago. 

The population consisted of some of the most prominent men 
and women in Georgia. It had a noted Girls High School at one 
time conducted by Mr. Kellog and later by Mr. Waterman, 
from which was educated some the finest and most refined ladies 
of the state. This school building was a large two-story one, 
suitable for its purposes and was situated on the hill above the 
spring and branch back of where Mrs. Pope now lives. It was 
surrounded by large shade trees amongst which were a few large 
pear trees, the largest I have ever seen, but bore heavily small 
fruit which had the best flavor I have ever known. Among the 
citizens were Chas. J. McDonald, Gov. of Georgia at one time. 
He built and lived in a white house situated on a rise back of 
the Lowther place, now owned by Mrs. S. Pursley. The George 
family bought the place from him, resided there for some time, 
and it is still known as the George place. This family moved to 
Mississippi and became very prominent in the affairs of the state. 
One became a Senator of U. S. General Iverson was also one of 
Clinton’s citizens, and lived on the hill toward Gray (it is still 
there owned by Willingham) Mr. Alex Juhan lived there once 
but moved to Macon. R. V. Hardeman was another prominent 
man who lived here but afterwards moved to his plantation 
called “Sleepy Hollow,” two miles from town. He was one of 
the ablest lawyers of Georgia, a man of the utmost integrity, 
commanding the highest respect not only of Jones County but 
the entire Ocmulgee Circuit, of which he was the presiding 
Judge. He loved Jones County, lived here most of his life and 
died a respected and loved man. 

Joseph Day another able man prominent in Georgia affairs, 
being several times speaker of Georgia’s House of Representa¬ 
tives, lived in Jones at the Day place bought by Maj. Ben Bar¬ 
ron. James Blount lived here in his young days and moved to 
Macon, and served his district for 18 years in the U. & Con¬ 
gress. Isaac Hardeman lived here, he was 1st Sergeant of the 
Jones Co. Volunteers to Richmond, Va. was placed in the 12th 
Ga. Reg., served through the war with the army of Northern 
Va., came out at the close as Colonel. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


441 


Sylvanaus Hitch lived over on the hill toward Gray and with 
him, lived John C. Nichols, they went to South Georgia and 
Nichols was sent to the U. S. Congress. The sons of Hitch were 
all prominent in the states affairs. Dr. Flewellyn lived and built 
the main body of the house where Judge Johnson now lives. I 
think he came from Virginia but I have heard North Carolina. 
On his way to Georgia he stopped by a peach orchard and 
wanted to buy some of the fine peaches, the owner refused to 
sell them, but gave them all they could eat. One of his boys had 
some of the seeds in his pocket and Flewelyn planted them and 
for a long time this was a famous peach known as the “Flewelyn 
Peach.” He moved to Upson County after many years. 

Dr. Hamilton once lived here, he married Peter Clowers 
daughter, moved to Cass County and was a prominent man in 
North Georgia affairs. Col. James Smith a lawyer of prominence 
moved to Macon from Clinton. 

Major Williams once lived where Judge Barron now lives 
moved to Newton, Baker County where he was prominent in 
Southwest Georgia affairs. J. H. and W. W. Williams of Macon 
are his sons (Jewelry store). 

Samuel Griswold lived on the Macon road at the top of the 
hill, in a large two-story house facing the town. Capt. R. W. 
Bonner, his son-in-law afterwards lived there and the house was 
burned by Stoneman’s raid. In front and on the other side of 
the roads towards town stood the large gin shop, barns, etc. of 
Mr. Griswold. This was the first shop to make gins alone and 
upon a large scale. Mr. Peter L. Clower lived nearly opposite 
to where Judge Johnson now lives and which is now owned by 
Mrs. Swanson, whose first husband, Col. Hamilton, was Mr. 
Clower’s grandson. He was a man of energy and ability and 
owned large bodies of land in the county and many slaves. Speak¬ 
ing of the house, it, with others of the town was papered inside 
with most beautiful wall paper representing, in large size char¬ 
acters, scenes of classic times of Rome, Greece, etc., and in the 
parlor of Judge Johnson can now be seen in a perfect state of 
preservation a specimen of this work of art. 

Mr. Clower left 3 sons, Stephen, Green and Lee, neither of 
which ever married. Stephen lived in Clinton, and was fond of 


442 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


display and bought one of the carriages of that date, to which 
he hitched 4 horses. He had a negro coachman and footman. This 
carriage was mounted with silver and furnished with fine bro¬ 
cade and silk inside. Its body was swung up high on great leather 
springs and had folding steps which had to be let down in order 
to gain entrance. This old carriage was one of the curiosities to 
be seen a few years ago. It was then moth-eaten and decayed. I 
suppose by this time it has disappeared. Stephen Clower died 
and left his property to his two brothers, Green Clower died 
next and left it all to Peter Lee Clower, who most of us recollect 
as one of the noblest and best men ever produced in our county. 
He was at this time the wealthiest man in the county. 

Taylor Gibson was at one time a citizen. He was a man of 
energy and ability and had a lovely family. He moved to Craw¬ 
ford county. Mrs. Gibson owned the tavern and had with her 
Real and Henry Gibson, her nephews. They moved to Crawford 
county before the war. Mrs. Lowther built the handsome home 
where Mrs. Sam Pursley now lives. She was a woman of won¬ 
derful energy and business capacity, and had been married to 
Bunkley, Billingslea, and Samuel Lowther and was a widow 
when I recollect her. It was her son, Jesse Bunkley who disap¬ 
peared for several years, leaving a nice property in the hand of 
Capt. Parish, his guardian. A claimant appeared, saying he was 
Jesse Bunkley and demanded the estate. Mrs. Lowther refused 
to recognize him and so did his guardian, upon which he had 
brought suit against them for the property which he lost, after 
a long trial, and he was prosecuted as an imposter and sent to 
the penitentiary, as such, witnesses from Gwinnett county, proved 
him to be Elijah Barber, though he always claimed, even after 
he came from the penitentiary that he was Jesse Bunkley, and 
so marvelous were some things which he told to those who knew 
of them, that many believed he was Bunkley. Mrs. Lowther was 
also the mother of Mr. Gus Billingslea, who was well known in 
Clinton and who died there when comparatively a young man. 
Her daughter, Miss Carrie Billingslea, married Tonani Lomax 
and moved to Alabama.The Mitchell’s of Alabama, are also 
her descendants. She owned large plantations and many negroes 
and was next to the largest tax payer in the county.

Capt. and “Madame” Parish lived where Mr. Sam Childs 
now lives. They had large plantations and many negroes in the 
county, but had no children. The Madame was a sister of Mrs. 
Lowther, and like her, was a smart business woman; having her 
own plantation and managing her own business. She used to give 
table board to the young men in town. She had splendid servants, 
was a fine housekeeper, grew vegetables to perfection in her 
garden, raised hams, mutton and poultry on her plantation, had 
fruits, butter, milk, from her own places and what a table she 
did set! It was noted far and wide. In after years I heard one 
of her boarders say that he had taken meals at most of the noted 
places in the United States, but had never seen a dinner equal to 
hers. Her price was $10.00 per month, payable the last day of 
Dec. each year. Ten young men put down on her table $120 in 
gold, each making $1,200, one December day. This she paid for 
a Negro girl for a house servant and who was immediately 
called “Gold Dust” by the boarders. She and the Capt. both 
died at Indian Springs, nearly at the same time. Dr. Horatio 
Bowen lived where Judge Barron now lives. He was a man of 
ability and stood high in the community, owning large bodies 
of land and many negroes. He grew grapes successfully on his 
plantation and made a fine wine. Mrs. Swanson is his daughter. 

F. S. Johnson, Sr. lived where his son now lives. He was for 
years the leading merchant of the town, and very popular. Chas. 
Hutchings was also a man of means, a leading merchant and 
liked by all . 

Joseph Winship lived here at one time, and married the 
daughter of Robert Hutchings, He moved to Atlanta and 
founded the Winship Gin Co. 

Elbert Hutchings was the first boy born in the town. He was 
at one time clerk of the court, and lived a long and useful life 
in the county. Capt. Jack Pitts lived in a big two-story house, 
back of the Methodist church and was a planter of large means, 
and a leader in the county. He had a large and splendid family, 
admired by all. 

Dr. James F. Barron lived his life here. He was of great 
mental capacity, prominent in all state and county affairs, a 
learned doctor and an able counsellor, for he was often sought 


444 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


by people to work out their problems. He loved Clinton and 
Jones County, had great faith in both, as much as any man I 
have ever known. 

Dr. Kingman lived where Henry Bonner lives, he was a per¬ 
fect Chesterfield, a learned and refined gentleman, an eminent 
physician, trusted and loved by all. His sons Robert and Sam 
still live. 

Richard Hutchings lived in the Parish house, and represented 
Jones Co. in the Legislature at one time and was a good mer¬ 
chant. 

Henry Dorsey was a fine business man and citizen who died 
in 1856. 

Daniel Tye lived where Mrs. Holsenbeck now lives. A man 
of sterling character and had a lovable and popular family. 

W. E. Morgan and his sons, John and William lived where 
his family now lives. They ran a thriving business with their 
tan yard, located on the branch below their place. 

James Barnes, Henry Christian, Mr. Gantt, Alex Juhan, Mrs. 
Locket, Hurricane Jack Jones, Charles McCarthy, Clerk of the 
court, Jeff and Flew Williams and Jim Caine are some of the 
old citizens that I remember. 

Mr. Tippett, Mr. Barrow, Eugene Mitchell, Z. D. Harrison, 
were some of the teachers of the boys school, and many are the 
stories told of them by their old scholars. They were educators 
of merit. Z. Thigpen called “father” or “dad,” by most, a man 
as true as steel, generous, noble and firm as a rock, but honored 
by all. Dear old Clinton when I look back over the days of your 
departed glory, we rejoice in the knowledge of the ones whom 
you have given to the world, and their example to posterity. 

You are finished, completed, the railroad sealed your fate. 
Peace unto you. . . . 

CLINTON IN THE LONG AGO 

Amongst my earliest recollections of Clinton was seeing the 
men sitting in the shade of the old mulberry and China trees 
playing backgammon in front of Charles Hutchings store. 

Mr. Hutchings was a large fleshy man, a lover of games and 
a master in the art and science of playing them. Dr. Barron al- 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


445 


though a much younger man, was a foe worthy of his steel, and 
played with him often. These were games of skill and required 
much thought and there were always many onlookers. 

Shed and Earl Slatter were two elderly men who lived in New 
Orleans and Mobile and spent a part of their summers in Clin¬ 
ton visiting their sisters Mesdames Parish and Lowther. They 
were great lovers of backgammon and would play in front of 
Hutchings store for hours. They were intelligent gentlemen, 
owned considerable property in several large cities, and were 
most entertaining. The St. Charles Hotel in New Orleans was 
owned by one of them. They were handsome in white linen suits, 
full bosomed white lawn shirts with ruffles down the front, a 
white Panama hat and low quarter shoes with silver buckles. 
Each carried a gold headed cane and a snuff box made of gold. 

They talked well and to emphasize a point they would bring 
down the point of their canes with a thud. But no topic was too 
interesting for them not to take out their gold snuff boxes and 
take a sniff in the nose. They would play backgammon for hours, 
take a pinch of snuff and would sometimes suspend the $ ame in 
order to go across to the bar and get a mint julep. They were 
sociable and invited the crowd to join them. These two were the 
typical southern gentlemen of New Orleans and Mobile before 
the war. Both died before the end of the Civil War. 

Shed and Hull, Jr. were sons of one of these, I think Shed 
Slatter, Sr. As boys they came to visit their aunts Madame Par¬ 
ish and Lowther. Hull, Jr. drifted to Washington, D. C. after 
the war where he got into some trouble with a fellow and shot 
him. I was in Emory College at Oxford with these two boys 
early in 1861 . 

The only other place of amusement in Clinton at that time 
was the bowling alley of Sam Morgan, where the younger set 
congregated. Real Gibson, Jeff and Flew Williams, Dr. Abb 
Bowen, Gus Billingslea, George Cook, Abb Barron, Perry Fin¬ 
ney, Bud (William) Barron and many others had games and fun 
galore at this old place. The bowling alley was a wing built on 
the Sam Morgan grocery and was on the Main Street or Macon 
Road. Many a gay and frolicsome time was had there, and oc¬ 
casionally a fight. There were many practical jokes played, 


446 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


among them, putting a charge of powder in a fellow’s pipe 
which would blow up when he smoked, if a man exaggerated a 
statement too much he had to treat the crowd or be bumped. 

The old three-story brick house on the west corner of the 
square had a cellar under it with two flat doors opening up on 
the side walk opposite the courthouse. Old man Sharp and Jim 
Rowland got drunk, and the boys blacked them as black as could 
be and laid them opposite each other on these doors, when they 
woke up each thought the other was a Negro who had played 
a trick on them so they fought until the jokers separated them. 

This old brick house had been occupied by some of the best 
families in the town and was the scene of many of the biggest 
social and literary entertainments. It was a well built and hand¬ 
some house, and one of the landmarks of the town. Dr. Barron 
bought it at a public sale for the Masons whose hall was on the 
third floor. When Dad Thigpen was Tax Receiver Dr. Barron 
attempted to give in the building at $600.00 but Thigpen said, 

“Be d-if I will take it at that. The matter was finally left 

to arbitration and the doctor won. Thigpen’s refusal to accept 
the doctors valuation, because the man who built the house, a 
Mr. Jones, said the brick in the building cost $10,000. 

Mr. Holly of Mobile, Ala. a relative of Mrs. Lowther, also 
visited here and was a part of the social life of Clinton. He was 
on the order of the two Slatter brothers, but not so brilliant and 
entertaining. I recollect what big legged pants he wore. He was 
at Mrs. Lowthers when Sherman’s army came through and much 
to his disgust they made him act as butler while they occupied 
the house. He had to bring the wines from the cellar and serve 
the officers. 

Dr. Asbury Kingman was a leading citizen before the war. 
He was reared and educated in Charleston, S. C. practiced med¬ 
icine in Monroe County, Ga. then moved to Clinton. He was 
well educated, intelligent, faultlessly dressed, neat as a pin and 
a perfect Chesterfield in manners. He was handsome, a tall man 
and a great favorite with the ladies. He was a well read and 
gifted conversationest, besides being an excellent physician. He 
was an excellent backgammon player. His genial disposition and 
the customs of the times finally led him to drink too much at 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


447 


times. He was truly a favorite and as witty as they come, well 
beloved by all. 

He lived to be old, suffered with hay fever, a victim of the 
terrible conditions after the war when all of his property was 
destroyed, social life that he loved destroyed. He contented 
himself with reading and studying in his home, and was a veri¬ 
table fountain of information. He had pious parents and had a 
reverence for the church, in later years was a pillar in the church 
giving his time and means and a devoted Christian. Few men 
stood higher in Jones County than Dr. Asbury Kingman. 
FORTVILLE—MORE JONES COUNTY HISTORY 
S. H. Griswold 

Among the landmarks of Jones County is Fortville, first called 
old Fort. It is supposed that a fort or blockhouse was built here 
when the county was being settled as a protection for the settlers. 
There was a large mound opposite the old church there that bears 
out this theory. The mound was very large when I first saw it 
but in later years as it was plowed over it was not as large and 
I daresay some day you can’t find it at all. 

This place Fortville was the center of some of the finest cit¬ 
izens of Jones county as well as the state, before the war. It 
is situated on a high sandy ridge, springs on the north side of 
the ridge form a main prong of Fishing creek, while those on 
the south side form a main prong of Commissioners creek. Those 
springs on the west go into Hog creek. This drainage and high 
formation make it an ideal place for a frontier settlement and a 
fort. 

There was a strong Methodist church here for as long as I 
can remember one of the best in the Clinton circuit. It was the 
church that the Morris, Moughons, Stewarts, Hutchings, Les¬ 
ters, Pitts, Mercers, Gordons, Browns, Lowes, Lamars, Jarretts, 
Blanfords, Wrights, Tufts, Woodalls, Millers, Bonners, Moores, 
Singletons, Barfields, Bullingtons, Blows, Goddards, Clarks used 
to worship. Some were members of other churches but they went 
to Fortville. 

The 4th Sabbath in each month was regular preaching day, 
and many able ministers filled the pulpit and I daresay no coun¬ 
try church in Georgia was attended by more cultured and in- 


448 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


telligent people. The church was known for its hospitality far 
and wide, and many the basket dinners where hundreds ate and 
worshipped, at old Fortville, were held. 

Col. Moughon had a palatial residence in a large oak grove 
with big boxwoods up the driveway. In the flower garden were 
gardenias, crepe myrtle, roses, star jasmine, lilies, verbena and 
about any flower you can name. His main farm was on Walnut 
Level, bordering Beaver Run, Hog Creek and the Eatonton 
road. He also owned large plantations in southeast Georgia. 
Thomas, William and Henrietta were his children. Thomas 
moved to southwest Georgia when a young man. William moved 
to Macon and sold the Fortville place to Mr. and Mrs. William 
Chambers. Henrietta married Joe Bond who lived in Macon on 
top of a hill in a large Colonial house built by Jerry Cowles. 
She was a belle, pretty, refined and very popular. Old Colonel 
Hartwell Tarver from Twiggs County was one of her suitors. 
She declined to marry him and as the story goes old Ben a slave 
would care for Tarver’s horse on these visits. Ben would bring 
the horse around when Tarver left, being careful to have every¬ 
thing just right and as Tarver would get in he would feel in 
several pockets and say “Well Ben, I can’t find a quarter, but 
I’ll remember you for two, the next time I come.” After this 
happened several times, Henrietta rejected Tarver and as usual 
the servants knew about it too. When Tarver left he said again, 
“Ben, I declare I forgot those quarters but I’ll sure remember 
it next time.” Old Ben looked up significantly and said, “Marse 
Hartwell, I spec you better find it now, cause I’se feard you ain’t 
goin’ to be cornin’ this way again.” 

Major B. F. Ross bought this place in 1877 from the Cham¬ 
bers and after that the Clarks bought it and still live there. 

Mr. Bob Hutchings lived near here in an attractive home, 
there were large trees covered with ivy and many sycamores. 
He had a store there too. His children were, Bert, Rufus, Rich¬ 
ard and Mrs. Brown, Singleton, Winship and Lowe all of whom 
reared families and many of their descendants live in Jones now. 

Ellen Hutchings Singleton and Judge lived in the old home 
and continued to entertain their many friends and to support 
the old church, until the war broke them. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


449 


Mr. Bob Brown was another citizen who ran a blacksmith 
shop and was very prosperous. After his death his widow mar¬ 
ried Buck Singleton a son of Judge and Ellen Singleton. Later 
they moved to Florida and the Clarks now own it. 

Daniel Pratt, the architect, builder and gin man lived here. 
He built the house for Col. Moughon and the one for General 
Gordon later owned by the Blounts. 

Those old days at Fortville are full of the best memories of 
my life. How the young men and women rode their horses to 
church and how we helped them off at the old block made for 
that purpose. 

The old church was torn down some time after Mr. Frank 
Ross moved there, and was replaced by a smaller but neat little 
chapel, which a few years ago was moved to Haddock, and left 
nothing but a memory. The dinners and the Singletons, Cham¬ 
bers and many others and their wonderful hospitality, I can 
never forget. Mr. John Finney bought the Moughon place, after 
he died his widow married Bill Chambers, a fine man, soldier 
and citizen as ever lived. 

The Fortville Academy was one of the foremost in the county 
an account will be given in the chapter on education. 

THE OLD INFERIOR COURT 
S. H. Griswold—1909 

In the long ago there was in Georgia a court known as the 
Inferior Court, whose judges had charge of all county affairs 
as do the County Commissioners of today. It was usually com¬ 
posed of the best men in the county, and there are many of these 
I will not mention but just now these men stand out in my mem¬ 
ory. James Godard, who lived about a mile from Gray whose 
lands joined Major Jones along the road to Milledgeville near 
Pine Ridge on the lands of Dr. Bowen. Godard lived in a large 
white two-story house set in a grove of fine oak trees, his plan¬ 
tation was a typical ante-bellum one. He made a good judge and 
was respected by all. He and his wife reared several children, 
boys and girls who have descendants in Jones County. After the 
war I bought 400 acres of land joining him, and found him to be 
a splendid neighbor, and advised with me on many problems. 
The war had left him almost destitute, in his old age. His oldest 


450 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


son was Joshua Godard who lived on the old Lowe place after¬ 
wards owned by Jim Middlebrooks. He died young, but left a 
family, of whom Mrs. Bayne of Milledgeville and the first Mrs. 
Jim Finney and Willis Godard, James, Jr. who married the 
daughter of Luico Moore, the next son was Joel. One of his 
daughters married first Mr. Stewart, the mother of Frank and 
Gus Stewart and after Stewart’s death she married Dr. Pursley. 
She was a fine woman and much beloved in the community. An¬ 
other daughter married Daugh Pitts and was the mother of 
Gus Pitts, Mrs. Sam Pursley and Mrs. Jim Middlebrooks, after 
Pitts death she married Jeff Stewart, a noble and fine woman she 
was. Another daughter married John Hunt and reared a large 
family. 

Another daughter married John Finney and after he died 
married William Chambers. The children by the first marriage 
were Mrs. Henry Bonner and Mrs. Chambers. Charles Middle¬ 
brooks married one of those. Chambers was Capt. of Co. G. 
45th Ga. Reg. 

The youngest daughter of James Godard married Melvin 
Morton and reared a family. Judge Godard was outstanding in 
Jones County. 

Another judge of the Inferior court and a neighbor to the 
Godards was Herndon Patterson, a strong character, good 
judge, energetic and a fine citizen. He was a deacon in the Pine 
Ridge Church for years. He had several sons and daughters, one 
daughter married first Frank Moore and second Ed. Morton, 
Mrs. Holmes Johnson is her daughter. Another daughter mar¬ 
ried Jerry Lowe, Bill Lowe is a son. Another daughter married 
John Baker, another married Tom Bragg, two of their sons 
were Bill and Henry and they lived at the old Judge Patterson 
home. 

Dr. James Barron was one of the other Judges of the court, 
of which I have written elsewhere. 

Anderson Middlebrooks of Graball in upper Jones was also 
a Judge and a good one, a son Tom Middlebrooks lives in that 
section, a daughter married Bill Patterson a son of Judge Pat¬ 
terson and lived near Haddock. Judge Moreland was another 
well thought of Judge of this court. Leroy Singleton was also 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


451 


a good judge and lived at Fortville. Mrs. John Pitts and Mrs. 
James Turk were his daughters. Other Judges were Peyton Pitts, 
and David Blount both well known and honorable men. There 
were many others that I did not know. 

AMAZING THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN THE 
COUNTY YEARS AGO— 

S. H. Griswold 

Opposite the old Sam Morgan Grocery and the house where 
Dr. Sam Pursley lived so long once lived Henry Glover, an Eng¬ 
lishman, who followed his trade as a tailor and up to the be¬ 
ginning of the Civil War did a good business. He was a devout 
Catholic, going to Macon to Mass and to confess to the priest. 
He was a religious man in all of his dealings and well liked by 
the people. He was tall and lean with a ruddy complpuon, he 
had the largest and kindest eyes I ever saw. He was a non-com¬ 
batant, did get in the state militia during the war, but claimed 
to be an English subject and through Savannah he got released 
from duty. Before he was released, a storm blew down the tents 
one dark night and he was frightened almost to death. He 
prayed with a loud voice and great zeal to all of the saints in 
his calendar. He thought the whole Yankee army was on him 
and that was the end of the world. 

He lived in Clinton a year or two after being released, but 
no one was able to buy tailor-made clothes so he became very 
poor. The Catholic’s helped him to get to Savannah, and I lost 
sight of him. 

Clinton used to have a fine circus performer every spring and 
one of the last that I remember was a big tent pitched in a vacant 
lot back of Mr. Clowers store. They had a street parade, with 
a large elephant bringing up the rear. Old Aunt Tabby Towles 
had a table set up by the side walk, and she sat behind it with 
a red bandanna around her kind black face. On the table was a 
huge pile of gingersnaps to sell. As the elephant came by he 
reached over with his trunk and grabbed a stack of cookies, well, 
Aunt Tabby fell over backwards, her feet carried the table and 
gingersnaps over her head, much to the amusement of the crowd. 

Reverend Sam Jones in his early days as a minister was sta- 


452 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


tioned at Monticello in charge of the circuit in Jasper county. 
His fame extended beyond his circuit and Clinton got him to 
come there for a revival. In his first sermon, he scared the church 
members and got the sinners interested. Then he really went for 
them. There were several Colonels and Judges, sat around town 
and enjoyed themselves in no Christian way. Sam Jones drew a 
picture of words of these, then he came down on them with his 
great power of sarcasm, saying, “God deliver me from, and have 
mercy on these old Judges and Colonels, who sit about on the 
street corners and say there is no harm in a dram.” This crowd 
admitted that the cap fitted them, but swore they would not go to 
hear him again. They did though, their curiosity got the best 
of them. In one of his sermons he talked on the liberal giver, 
saying, “A man that gave liberally to God’s work made a sure 
foundation to stand on.” Yes he said, “Bro. White gave me a 
mush melon yesterday and I told Bro. White that was a mighty 
soft foundation to stand on. Bro. White was from the old Fort, 
and was present, so the laugh was on him. 

Old Joshua Sims was a big, black Negro preacher in the coun¬ 
ty and could holler loud and long and was a power among his 
race. (Harry S. Edwards made him famous in one of his stories.) 
When he preached to his race in Clinton some of the white 
people would go to hear him. Old Joshua was a leader, and of 
strong influence with the Negroes. He came here to Jones after 
the war. He had belonged to Captain Sims at Covington. When 
Sims was elected as Captain in the Young Guard and left for 
Virginia, Joshua was his body servant. While they were at the 
depot waiting for the train to leave, old Joshua made a good 
Confederate speech to the assembled crowd. I heard him because 
I was attending college at Oxford not far away. Old Joshua 
preached at a church afterward in Bibb county near Swift Creek 
near Col. Lanes place. 

It was here that Harry Stillwell Edwards heard him and put 
him as a leading character in one of his stories. 

Another Negro preacher in the county who belonged to the 
Methodist church was George Simmons, he loved the church and 
although the whites ran it, he died preaching in the church, at 
Pitts Chapel. He stood with the whites, voted with them, and 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


453 


they respected him always. When the Freedmans Bureau opened 
at Clinton he scorned to go to it and didn’t. He plead with his 
race not to make trouble during reconstruction days, he asked 
them to stay away from the Carpetbagger and the Scalawag. He 
helped both races to keep their feet on the ground and should 
be remembered as an honor to the county. 

JUDGES AND SOLICITORS OF THE 
OCMULGEE CIRCUIT 

Jones County has been ever since I can recollect a part of the 
Ocmulgee Circuit. This circuit has been ably presided over by 
the best legal minds of the state. Judge Cone is the first one that 
I can remember. He was a brainy man, determined and stern, 
holding the bar and the court officers to a very strict rule. Judge 
R. V. Hardeman of Jones County was next. He was an able 
judge, honest, upright and just. He presided for several terms 
and was greatly beloved. He was stricken with paralysis while 
holding court in Eatonton and had to resign. He lived several 
years after this at his home in Clinton called, “Sleepy Hollow” 
but was not able to take an active part in county affairs. I re¬ 
member that his charges to the jury were masterpieces, he was 
sought out for advice as long as he lived. 

His rulings as a judge were models of wisdom and justice and 
no one was more honored by the people who knew him. 

Iverson L. Harrison of Baldwin was next. He was a stern 
man, a good disciplinarian and judge and an able lawyer. Judge 
Reese of Morgan County was next, a fine jurist, upright and 
honest. Then came reconstruction and then Phillip Robinson of 
Green County on the bench who did much for the struggling 
whites, although he was appointed by the Republican governor 
R. B. Bullock. He was presiding when the ballot box was stolen 
in Jones County, and it was he, who ruled the managers and 
made them count the votes. Judge Foster of Morgan County 
was also a Republican appointee and served at one time as judge. 
Then Robinson was judge. As soon as the Democrats gained 
control Judge Geo. Bartlett of Monticello was the next and very 
able judge. 


454 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Judge Lawson from Putnam county followed by Judge Jen¬ 
kins of the same county, were able judges then Judge Hart, next 
Judge Lewis. These are some of the Solicitors but I cannot recall 
them all. Col. Lofton of Monticello, who also practiced law in 
Clinton afterwards. 

A noted case was Col. John Rutherford of Macon had a case 
of Lully Horn versus Woolfolk, Mason and Dibble which ran 
through several courts in Clinton. Col. Rutherford came to Clin¬ 
ton regularly as long as he lived. Col. Joseph Preston from 
Monticello was an able Solicitor, and some able lawyers who 
attended this court at Cinton were, Hon. Joseph Hill of Mor¬ 
gan, Col. Washington Poe of Macon, Judge Nesbit, L. J. Whit¬ 
tle, A. O. Bacon, Geo. Gustin, and A. O. Lockrane all of Macon. 
Lockrane was a favorite and has made many speeches here. Gress 
Kennon of Baldwin, noted a sa great criminal lawyer, often had 
cases in court, he was a member of the Confederate Congress. 
Lofton Preston and Flem Jordan from Monticello were both 
practioners here. Col. McKinley of Milledgeville a lawyer and 
gentlemen as was Col. Junious Wingfield of Eatonton. 

There were Isaac Hardeman, J. H. Blount, later R. V. Har¬ 
deman, Jr., Judge Richard Johnson, Judge Barron, Capt. R. W. 
Bonner, and James M. Gray were local attorneys, although 
Gray never took a case after I knew him. 

Court weeks in Jones have always been the third Monday in 
April and October as long as I can recollect, and were always 
times of great interest to the people and were well attended. 
They met, attended to business affairs, discussed politics, bought 
supplies, and visited friends and relatives. Every home in 
Clinton was thrown open to guests and the owners friends. 
Such dinners as were spread, none outside of middle 
Georgia could equal these. The Judges and lawyers came in 
their buggies and put up at the hotels. I remember Col. Wing¬ 
field of Eatonton telling of sleeping in the room with Hardeman 
at the old Merriwether House in Monticello. He said that a 
Frenchman occupied a bed in the same room, making a fourth. 
As the judges were snoring and making awful noises, one stopped 
and the little Frenchman jumped out of bed exclaiming, “Tank 
God, one dead.” 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


455 


Col. Flemmy Jordan from Monticello was great on telling 
anecdotes. Before the laws forbade it, the Farrow dealer usually 
came to town during court week and opened up his games at 
night, and was patronized. A part of the hospitality of that 
day was to set out guests the brandy, loaf sugar and the toddy 
stick. Also to treat friends at the many bars in Clinton, as they 
were noted for the fine liquors, sugars and wines. 

The dinners that Madame Parish used to serve the Judges 
and lawyers in her time were noted and the memory of them 
handed down for generations. Mrs. Bob Barron, in the same 
house kept this up as long as she lived. 

SOME HAPPENINGS IN AND ABOUT CLINTON 
LONG AGO 

S. H. Griswold — January 30, 1908 

A temperance lecturer drove from Madison to Clinton, with 
horse and buggy and he put up at Mrs. Gibson’s taven. While de¬ 
livering his lecture at the church, some mischievous young men 
painted his horse to look like a zebra. He was very wroth the 
next morning when his zebra striped horse was brought around 
to leave. Of course no one knew anything about it and he left, 
driving the outfit. He met a man on the road who wanted to 
know what on earth had happened. “I’ve been to Clinton,” was 
the reply with a flick of the whip, on the horse, he went on. 
****** 

Old Jimmy Canady was an Irishman who lived where Gray 
now is, near where Capt. Johnson built his home. He drank a 
lot of whiskey, had no money, no credit, no character, but was 
always full of wit and humor. As he passed through Clinton on 
an old horse, Dr. Barron says, “Jimmy, how much did you give 
for your horse?” Canady says, “Faith and I give me note for 
50 dollars and that was too much,” Jimmy was never known to 
pay a debt. 

****** 

Jim Rowland was a noted well digger and wit, loved liquor 
and drank it. He got drunk in Clinton one night, the boys black¬ 
ed his face and hands, put him in a box, carried him to the court 
house yard and with ropes drew him up in a chinaberry tree and 


456 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


fastened him there. About daybreak, Jim woke, looked around, 
took in the situation, flapped his arms and crowed like a rooster, 
until the boys took him down. 

* * * * * * 

it was a sales day in Clinton, and among the crowd were 
Wiley Franks, Wick and Henry Christian, and John Bradley, 
whom had ridden to town on horseback. They went to the bar 
several times and were feeling pretty good. When they left town 
Wiley Franks invited them all to spend the night with him, so 
they rode off toward Bradley, riding through Briar Lane which 
divided the Lowther and Bowen plantations. On the Lowther 
side were hedges of Cherokee roses and a red, red mud hole. As 
the four friends rode through it, Wick who was about drunk fell 
off his horse. The others did not hear him fall because of the 
slush of the horses feet, finding himself alone he said, “Ah, well 
fellows if you are going to leave me here, please put a rock 
under my head.”

Court in April—case of Steven Collins vs. Griswold, Collins 
claiming a lot of land on the Central R.R. near Bibb Co. which 
Griswold had bought from Cribbs, and was in possession cutting 
the timber, Griswold wanted the case put off but did not have as 
good an excuse as his lawyer liked. His son-in-law who liked his 
fun, got several others to help him run out of town the principal 
witness, Cribb. The night before the case Cribb retired early on 
a bench in the courthouse, John Bradley, Perry Finney and two 
others came in and fired a pistol over Cribbs’ head, Perry Fin¬ 
ney falls to the floor as if dead, Bradley rushes up grabs Cribb 
and accuses him of shooting Finney. Cribb is frightened almost 
to death, Bradley sympathizes with him and tells him how sorry 
he is, but he will have to arrest him and as they go out of the 
door he whispers to Cribb that out of the house he will loosen 
his grip and for him to jerk away and run for his life, that he 
would shoot at him but not to hit, that he would try to get him 
but to do his best to get away and not to come back. 

As they went out Bradley loosed his hold and in the half dark 
Cribb tore out running with the pistol firing over his head. Cribb

tumbled over a six foot bank, arose running and was out of 
sight in the woods. The case could not be tried the next day and 
all went well. 

By S. H. Griswold—Jones Co. News—Teb. 6, 1908 

Henry Gantt kept a bar room in Clinton near the old black¬ 
smith shop, on the corner where you turn from the old courthouse 
in Clinton to go to Gray. Mr. Wm. Morgan, Sr., lived where 
Miss Harriet Morgan now lives and had a wood shop on the 
corner of the street, and a Tan Yard on the branch below his 
house. Mr. Morgan was a good citizen and energetic. He had 
a son named Wm. Morgan, Jr. who could do most anything and 
was as smart as could be. Roland Ross was a small boy, had 
just been brought to Clinton by Charles McCarthy, Clerk of the 
Court. McCarthy put Ross to work in his office. Henry Gantt had 
a nickname for everyone and called Wm. Morgan, Jr., “The 
Warrior.” Roland Ross grew into a capable man and later when 
McCarthy stepped out he was elected Ordinary. 

Dr. Bowen lived at the home later owned by Judge Barron 
and was the leading doctor in the county. 

Judge Hardeman lived at Sleepy Hollow later owned by Abe 
James. He had been paralized and sitting in his usual place 
when Shermans army came along—1864. They soon had his 
horses and mules, but there was one mule that no one could ride. 
A Yankee put the bridle and saddle on and a negro told him that 
no one could ride that mule, but the Yankee replied, “Oh well 
he has never had a Yankee on his back, I can ride him.” The 
Yankee mounted, the mule crop-hopped, bucked, doubled up 
and threw the Yankee saddle and all over his head. The Yankee 
got up hopping along. Judge Hardeman said, “Well its clear 
that you never rode a young Georgia Mule before.”

S. H. Griswold—Feb. 20, 1908 

On the courthouse square in Clinton, directly opposite the 
courthouse, and in front of it stood a large two-story building 
used as a tavern. Across the front and extending to the sidewalk 
was a two-story porch, on one end of which was built a small 


458 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


room, with a door opening on the porch. This door was cut in 
two, so that the upper half could be opened while the lower 
half remained closed. This was the village Post Office. 

The right hand room on the ground floor of this house was 
used for a bar or tap room. The left hand room was a parlor 
or reception room and an ell extended back of the bar for a dining 
room, a two-story back porch extended back from this ell across 
the main body of the house. Captain Mike Sullivan a clever and 
eccentric Irishman, kept this tavern at the time I write of, and 
was also the village postmaster. He had a wife and two or more 
daughters. In front of the tavern stood a post some 12 or 15 
feet high with a bell on it and a big rope hanging down. When 
travelers or the stagecoach halted at the tavern the bell was rung 
and out ran the Hostler to take the horses to the stables in the 
rear. Capt. Mike kept good whiskies, brandies, wines and cigars. 
His daughters had several cages of canary birds hanging on the 
back porch, and in the yard were two fierce dogs. The boys of 
the village played some rough jokes on the Captain but he al¬ 
ways managed to come out on top. Some of these pranksters 
were, Thomas Morris, Dennis Townsend, Lawyer Bonner, Col. 
Steve Clowers. Col. Steve Clower got his toddy at the bar each 
day. 

^ t )|{ s): ^ 

On a sunshiny day early in Dec. 1864, a huge wagon with a 
very long and deep body drawn by three yokes of large oxens 
came lumbering down the main street of Clinton, halted before 
the tavern and post office. The body of this wagon was full of 
mattresses and feather beds, and on top sat one of Jones county’s 
wealthiest planters, Sherman’s army had passed his way a few 
weeks before, carrying off his horses, carriages and this was his 

only means of coming to town to attend to business. 

* * * * * * 

Another sunshiny day, several gentlemen were seated under 
the shade of the chinaberry trees in front of Judge Gray’s office, 
discussing politics, and bidding on land to be sold that day, legal 
sales day and a political mass meeting. William McKissic dressed 
in a dirty suit of fiery red, with an old white hat gone up to a 
point and unshaven rode by on an old flop-eared mule, having a

saddle with a rope girth, and a rope bridle. As he passed by, he 
turned his head and with a comical grin say, “Good evening gen¬ 
tlemen, if I hain’t miscalled the crowd.” 

* * * * * * 

Col. Clowers had a large store and did a good business in 
front of the courthouse. He was one of the largest land owners, 
and planters in the county. Henry Greaves ran the store for 
him, Mike Bird was one of his customers. 

OLD TIME CITIZENS 
S. H. Griswold—1908 

The lower part of Burden’s District and a part of Roberts 
all around where Griswold is, was originally in the finest large 
long leaf yellow pines and was known as the “piney woods.” 
The lands were considered poor and laid off into lots 202 
acres, and sold very cheap. This section was below the Garrison 
road and joined Twiggs county. As soon as the county was 
opened for settlement, part of it was taken up and thickly settled 
by people from the lower part of Warren and Glascock counties, 
this being the same kind of lands and timber. As a rule these 
settlers were poor men and settled on small farms of fifty acres 
or more. 

They built rude log houses, planted a few acres, for bread and 
trees of cherry, apple, peach and plum. The greater part of the 
land was left in timber. They let their large flocks of sheep and 
cattle graze through these woods. They obtained considerable 
food from the wildlife so abundant, fish, quail, rabbit, deer 
and squirrel. Among these settlers were, William Kitchens, 
Paige, Cribb, Cobb, Tender, Oswalt, Hoppa, Hansel, Sam 
Kelly, Bill Smith, Henry Wells, Terry Jordan, Simpson 
Moore, Ussery Moore, McElroy, Seaborn, Sketo, Tom Stew¬ 
art, Mulkey, McDaniel, Henry Johnson, Billy Johnson, Davis 
Duncan, Moses Davis, Jordans, Woodalls, Goulding who was 
half brother of Davis Duncan and had his name changed to 
Woodall. William Kitchens moved from Warren County in 1832 
and bought a lot of land and a mill from Abnett giving him a 
horse valued at six hundred dollars. This mill was on Big Sandy 
Creek, not far from Griswoldville, and right near the Central 
railroad and the road which leads from Griswoldville to Macon 


460 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


crosses the creek just below the old mill dam. Kitchens after¬ 
wards lost this land because, Abnett had an execution against 
this land when he traded it to Kitchens. 

As a boy I swam and fished in Day’s Mill pond and it was a 
fine place. Kitchens moved over on the old Clinton and Marion 
road, on the west side of the Central railroad now near the 
Twiggs and Bibb County line. William Kitchens family were, 
William, Orren, Jim, Bose, Urias. William, Jr. lived on upper 
Big Sandy where now Dr. Poland lives. He sold this place to 
Sam Griswold and bought a place on the west side of the Marion 
road near the Twiggs line. Henry Kitchens and Miles Kitchens 
and Orren of Twiggs are his sons. Orren, Jim and Bose moved to 
Dooly county. Urias lived near the Cross Roads and his son 
John Kitchens married Lizzie Roberts, and moved to Twiggs 
county. John and Henry Kitchens were good soldiers in the 
45th Ga. Regiment Co. F. Confederate army. Abner lived on 
the hill toward Macon. Sam Griswold bought this place and 
nearby in the family graveyard in which Paige, Oswelt and 
others are buried (Jim Stubbs) which was the flower garden 
part, of the Samuel Griswold home; I remember the graves. 
Duncan was about the wealthiest man in this neighborhood and 
lived on the hill beyond old 18 station and it was here the Yan¬ 
kee lines were formed when the Battle of Griswoldviile took 
place. I don’t remember where Hoppa, Pender, Hansel or Cobb 
lived but near here. Duncan was agent for the Central when it 
first came through, also postmaster. Griswold bought him out 
in the 1840’s or 50’s. Goulding lived beyond the creek near Gor¬ 
don, Griswold also bought his place. Peyton Smith and Sketo 
lived near Duncan where the railroad is. The Jordans, Oswelt 
Kitchens and then Tom Stewart who lived on the road from Ir- 
winton to Clinton. He sold to Griswold and moved away. Simp¬ 
son Moore and Ussery Moore lived in their neighborhood also 
John James. 

Simpson Moores family were, John, Bill, Jim, Tom, Alex, 
Steve and Bishop, Jane and Molly. 

Ussery Moore’s sons were, Bill, John, Jim, Bob, and Steve. 

Billy Smith was on the hill where the road from Griswoldviile 
to the Styles’ place cross Sandy Creek, he had a mill and a pond. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


461 


In the 40’s he had a big day of fishing, seining, Peyton Pitts 
and Bill Wood were in the crowd and Peyton shot and wounded 
a big alligator, which ran up under the bank in the mud and 
water. Bill Woods jumped on the alligator straddle and got a 
hold of him where he couldn’t bite and by main strength drag¬ 
ged him out on dry land. This gater measured seven feet, and 
when a fellow walked near be grabbed him by his heel, tearing 
off the shoe and part of his heel. 

There was some drinking, and I daresay that before the day 
was over, there were forty fights. 

This Billy Smith was the grandfather of John and Clark 
Smith. Griswold bought this place. Sam Kelly lived farther up 
the creek and was the father of Miles and Wash Kelly. Nearby 
lived Seaborn, Mulkay and McDaniel. 

Ed Morton bought Mulkey’s place and Griswold bought Mc¬ 
Daniels, later Morton bought McDaniels’ too. 

Henry Wells and Dan McGure lived near the Cross Roads. 
McGure had a boy named Tom who taught school. Billy and 
Henry Johnson lived at the Cross Roads too, also Mose Jordan, 
a son of John Jordan who taught at the old field school before 
Alexander Martin taught there, 1845. McElroy lived near here, 
Cribb lived on the Macon side of Sandy Creek not far from the 
Garrison road. He had a large family most of whom moved to 
south Georgia, some went to Macon. 

Jim and Bill Wood lived farther over in the Burden neigh¬ 
borhood. Moses Davis lived next. The Ethridges lived in the 
Mountain Springs neighborhood as did Ichabod Balkcom. Balk- 
corn was a northern man and a hatter by trade. He married in 
the neighborhood and was the father of Bryant, James and 
Henry, all of whom were prosperous and good citizens. Each 
one had good property before the war and are well known in 
Bibb, Twiggs and Jones Counties. 

The Dennings and the Drews were good citizens of this place. 

Luke Brundage lived on Big Sandy Creek which runs across 
or under the Central railroad nearly a mile from Griswoldville 
towards Macon. There were three mills. Abnetts, Smiths and 
Pauls. All were primitive affairs that ground corn. Another 
prong of this creek rises near Ben and Abe James’ place and 


462 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Gerry Sketo’s place and the creek flows on by Dr. Gibson’s place. 
Hubert Reynolds built a mill where the three branches run to¬ 
gether, and on down General Myrick had a large corn and wheat 
mill. 

Sometime before the war, Griswold tried to drain the large 
swamp on the upper fork, which ran back of his house, he em¬ 
ployed several Irishmen and had a ditch cut eight feet wide and 
four feet deep, from his house to Paul’s pond about one and a 
fourth miles long, but the fall was not great enough to drain 
the pond sufficiently. 

JONES COUNTY HISTORY 
S. H. Griswold—1909—Jones Co. News 

John Casey in 1840 lived on the road from Clinton to Devil’s 
Half Acre, and his house was the first after you cross Cedar 
Creek. He had a son named Job. He came from North Carolina 
to Jones. He had a bad slave who knew Casey’h habit of going 
to the barn at night to see if all was well before retiring. So one 
night this slave killed Casey with an ax and took his body to 
Cedar Creek and sank it in the creek. He killed the horse on 
which he carried the body put it in a gully and covered it with 
pine tops. The family looked everywhere for Casey but as his 
horse was missing it was thought that he had gone some place. 
The buzzards led the searchers to the body of the horse, they 
then searched for the body and found it and arrested Claiborne, 
the slave, who confessed that he had killed him. He was carried 
to Clinton jail and when the trial came up he was sentenced to 
hang. He also confessed before dying that he had committed 
another crime for which another had been hanged. Edmund 
Dumas lived in this neighborhood and helped on this case. Du¬ 
mas ran against Peyton Pitts for delegate to the secession con¬ 
vention to be held in Milledgeville, and was beaten by Pitts by 
a few votes. Dumas was a union man and against secession. 

Hurt owned and operated a blacksmith shop and wagon shop 
near the village of Ethridge. He had three northern mechanics 
at work in the shop as well as three other white men, these me¬ 
chanics were Wilcox, Gabs and Hayes. As the war broke out 
they returned to the north. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


463 


The father and grandfather of Edmund Dumas as well as the 
father and grandfather of Tom and John Williams lived in the 
Ethridge neighborhood. Nearby was the old upper leather race 
track, at this place was a grocery at the cross roads where whis¬ 
key was sold, and where men not only drank together but fought 
too. The Williams’ and the Dumas’ were involved in some of 
these fist fights. 

Stephen Bivins was a planter of large means, lived on the 
south side of Commissioners Creek joined by lands of Peyton 
Pitts, Squire Choates and, whom were gbod friends but there 
was a lot of rivalry between them. Bivins was a strong Union 
man and never favored secession, he used to argue with his 
neighbors at old Salem church and predict the downfall of the 
south if we seceded. One time a man sighted Bivins for drinking 
too much, in church, Bivins a powerful and strong man threat¬ 
ened to throw him out and everyone was afraid to press the 
charges. He was A Whig in politics, a Union man, and a good 
citizen. He made a fortune but lived to see it all destroyed by 
the Federal armies and it was said that he died from grief, which 
also happened to Squire Choates, and Peyton Pitts. In their old 
age they saw all of their work go for naught, the bottom rail 
on top, the whole superstructure of their lives pulled down on 
their heads so to speak. Ther spirits were broken and they were 
rushed to an untimely grave. 

They were not old enough to die but too old to begin life over 
again. These are examples of thousands in the south, that died 
from broken hearts, disappointments and grief, while those who 
did live grew poorer and poorer and suffered agonies for lack of 
means and died a death of poverty. 

I have seen one of these men go to Clinton in a thousand 
dollar carriage before the war, and since then I have seen him 
riding a poor mule bareback with a rope bridle. It was no fault 
of his that he had been reared under the old regime and was 
too old to adapt himself to the drastic changes. 

Dave Allen and Hannie Mitchell lived in the upper part of 
Jones County. A Mrs. Ludlow also lived here. 

Dave was a great fisherman and knew the shoals and fish traps 
around Dames Ferry like a book. Dave Allen and Hannie 


464 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Mitchell had an interest with Wick Christian and others in these 
fish traps and they got shad, red horse and flat fish when they 
were running and some very fine ones. Sometimes the boys from 
Clinton would come up and fish, and not having enough to cook 
would get Dave to go out after dark and fish the traps for them. 

Dave and Hannie once lived and worked for Tom Beeland 
at one time until Mrs. Beeland made them take her fourteen- 
year-old boy with them, when they wanted to see their girls. 
They tied the boy to a stump about 200 yards from the house 
and left him. Sometime during the night Beeland heard him 
screaming and found him, but they had to leave Beelands’ employ 
for playing this joke. 

A DESPERADO MEETS HIS DEATH 

The killing of Oxford in our neighborhood was very exciting, 
it seems that Oxford was a bully and a drunkard, and disliked 
by most. 

John Stiles was a son of Joseph Stiles and lived at the well- 
known Stiles place. He went to vote in Burden’s District, and 
an old man named Cook, also drinking but harmless and always 
inoffensive, was lying near the fire around which all were warm¬ 
ing. Oxford a huge, strong and very overbearing man in his 
drinking, kept kicking and punching old man Cook. Stiles told 
Oxford to stop, that the old man could not defend himself and 
was not harming anyone. Oxford cursed Stiles and dared him to 
take the old man’s part said he’d whip him. John Stiles calmly 
told Oxford that he did not want any trouble with him but he 
must not kick Cook again. When Oxford did this he and John 
Stiles went together and Monroe Stribling, Mike and John 
Lowe pulled them apart and tried to get Oxford to leave. Stiles 
quietly stood his ground and as soon as Oxford could get loose 
from the men he started back to Stiles. Stiles picked up a hickory 
stick no bigger than your thumb about two and one-half feet 
long. Oxford’s favorite blow to an opponent was to charge him 
with his head down and hit him in the stomach, as he did this 
Stiles stepped back and whacked him twice on the back of the 
neck. Oxford rolled over like a stuck hog. Squire Burden had 
him carried into the house but no one thought that he was seri¬ 
ously hurt, however he died. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


465 


Judge Cone was the Superior Court Judge and when the case 
came up. Bryant was the Sheriff, and when he brought John 
Stiles in he pleaded self defense. Now Oxford’s father was a 
preacher, Baptist, of the Oxforditeh, he was a fine man and said 
his son had preached at one time but drink had ruine^J him. He 
did not ask for a new trial and said that he felt sure that his 
son was to blame. Stiles paid one hundred dollars costs and was 
freed. 

Even though everyone knew that Stiles did the right thing, 
it ruined his life. He left home and traveled around for several 
years and finally came back, died at a friend and kinman’s home, 
Green Roberts. He lies buried at the foot of his father’s grave 
on the old Stiles place. Joseph Stiles carried food and clothes to 
the family of Oxford, and told the widow that as long as he 
lived he would help her and her family, and he did. 

The fact of John Stiles sympathy for an old homeless man 
being imposed on, by a drunken bully, caused him to have to 
defend his life and then to lose it. He was a sober, energetic and 
dependable man, but this ruined his life, he only lived a few 
years and was very restless. Joseph Stiles, the father, was a 
wealthy planter and a strong man in the county. A daughter 
married a Hawkins from Milledgeville, another married Gslibe 
Roberts of Macon a prominent man, and their daughter was 
Mrs. W. G. Solomon. The youngest daughter married John Da¬ 
vis, brother of G. M. and Captain W. A. Davis. Nick was the 
youngest son of Joseph Stiles. The old Stiles home was on top 
of a hill on the Garrison road seven miles from Macon, with 
big fruit orchards of plum, cherry, peach and apple. Mr. Stiles 
was a most hospitable man and his daughters, educated, attrac¬ 
tive and talented. Dr. Thomas Gibson lived near and was the 
family doctor. 

JOHN BRADLEY 

The late John Bradley was one of the best beloved men in 
Jones County to my notion, a man that spread cheer and sun¬ 
shine whereever he went. He had a commanding presence, tall, 
big framed, with the most magnificent beard that you ever saw. 
He was a brainy man, attractive and friendly as they come. He 


466 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


was a leader in the county and not only in politics but in land 
development. 

He was reared in the upper portion of the county and later 
the town of Bradley was named for him. He married a daughter 
of Wiley Franks and moved to Texas before the Civil War. 
Here he was connected with the enrolling department of the 
Confederate government and in the discharge of his duties he 
had to shoot and arrest. In arresting some deserters who were 
very desperate men, about the ending of the war, they got to¬ 
gether and Bradley heard that they would kill him the next night. 

There was no law or order at that time to appeal to, so John 
Bradley saddled his best horse, left arrangements for his family 
to follow later, and he rode from Vanzant County Texas back to 
Jones County. His family joined him later. He left several hun¬ 
dred acres of good land in the care of another Jones Countian, 
Tom Towles. Bradley bought the land of his father-in-law, 
Wiley Franks, and though the times were hard and little labor 
he worked hard and paid for this land. He farmed different 
from most in that day, by deep plowing and constant plowing 
and his crops were better than his neighbors. 

He was elected Sheriff and served in that capacity for a long 
time. He was jovial and liked to frolic, was always first in any 
mischief that would make fun. He was fearless and loyal to his 
friends. 

He would sometimes deal in cotton futures, and often told 
this. On one occasion he bought a contract and the market went 
against him and soon he was out of $1,200.00 as he kept losing 
he said he kept his gun in a closet at the foot of the stair and 
also a jug of whiskey. Whenever he would go to kill himself he 
would see the whiskey and take a drink and change his mind. He 
finally closed out what he had, but had lost everything but his 
land. He would tell this, and laugh about it later and his merry 
eyes would twinkle. 

He was a good neighbor, always kind and helpful to those in 
distress. He was fond of sports and fox hunted with the men 
who organized them. There will never be but one John Bradley 
and he was a true Jones Countian. 

He is buried in the family graveyard on his place in a brick 
vault. Peace to his ashes.

JIM ROLAND AND OTHERS 

Jim Rowland was a well digger by trade but a bright wit, full 
of humor and loved whiskey too well for his own good. He 
said, “I might have more money, if I had my life to live over 
but I don’t see how I could have as much fun and enjoyment on 
less money.” 

Old John Robinson’s Circus came to town every spring and 
gave an exhibition, and this was a great day of fun and excite¬ 
ment and Jim Rowland was the ring leader. He enlisted as a 
private in the Jones Volunteers which became Co. B 12th Ga. 
Regiment, and served throughout the war. He was the best 
forager, and could always find whiskey, and kept the boys go¬ 
ing, when things were bad, with his wit and humor. 

He was cleaning out a well for Albert Blanks who had three 
boys just as full of mischief as could be. Now Rowland was 
real careful when he went in a well, he could not stand any dirt 
knocked in or carelessness. While he was in Blanks’ well he saw 
dirt falling in and looking up he saw the three mischievous boys 
walking on the windlass over his head. Well the air was blue 
with Rowlands profanity he demanded that Blanks get him out 
and he never finished the job, although Blanks took them over 
to Judge Singletons house at Fortville. When Blanks went to 
bring them home, they were walking the tip ridge on top of 
Singleton’s house. 

These same boys used to go to the Georgia railroad which 
ran through their place and stand until a train came along and 
jump on the cowcatcher and ride a ways and jump oft, of course 
the road was new and the train was making only 15 miles an 
hour. Again they would get into a small drain under the track, 
stand up straight when they saw the train coming, and just be¬ 
fore the train got there they would duck their heads down under 
and let it pass over. This at first frightened the engineers almost 
to death, but they got so, when they saw them, they just put on 
full steam and said “It’s them Blank’s boys you couldn’t hurt 
them if you wanted to.” They always managed to duck in time, 
it will always be a mystery to me, that the pranks they pulled 
they ever lived to grow up.

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


OLD TIMERS IN JONES 
By S. H. Griswold 

One of the most remarkable women in Jones was Mrs. Town¬ 
send, who lived on the Macon road two miles from Clinton on 
a high hill in a two-story white house, the place where Jack 
Brooks now lives and who is her grandson. She owned several 
hundred acres of land, negroes and stock. She had great energy, 
perseverance and looked after her business herself, and went to 
the fields and saw that the negroes worked. She couldn’t tolerate 
laziness in anyone. She made money and prospered. She raised 
a family, mostly girls. She had one son Dennis, who lived with 
her, one daughter Mrs. Brooks who also lived with her. One 
daughter married Carstarphen and lived on her Bibb county 
farm. The two Carstarphen boys of Macon are the sons of this 
daughter. Jasper Greer who used to run a grocery business a 
long time in Macon, married one of her daughters, then moved 
to Green Cove Springs, Fla. 

With all of her push and energy she was full of rich humor. 
Jim Jordan used to overseer for her and also Ike Newton. 

She rode everywhere she went on horseback, often riding to 
Macon to transact her business, her name was (Mathilda 
Brooks). She left a valuable estate after the war. She died 
around 1870. (It is said she owned all of Shirley Hills at one 
time.) 

Ike Newton and Jim Jordan were in my company of state 
troops during the war, I have listened to their stories while we 
were camped near Rome, and the anecdotes they told on Mrs. 
Townsend for hours. Ike Newton ran a grocery in Macon and 
said his greatest ambition was to get as big and talk as big as 
Gus Sparks. 

Speaking of overseers, James Carroll was overseer for my 
grandfather Sam Griswold when I was a boy. He was smart, 
and a good business man. One day an oxen got hurt badly and 
my grandfather told Carroll to kill the oxen. However Carroll 
doctored the animal and he got well. So very proud of the fact 
he called Grandfather’s attention to the nice looking oxen. To 
his surprise he got a scolding for not obeying him, as that was 
what he was paid to do. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


469 


Some time after that he had a very fine cow to get hurt. He 
went with Carroll to see her and in a hasty way said, “Kill her.” 
Carroll knew the cow was not hurt bad enough to be killed, but 
remembering the other occasion, did so. Later the old gentleman 
rode out to the farm and asked to see the cow. “I killed her” 
said Carroll. “The Hell you did, didn’t you know better than 
to do that”? Caroll reminded him of what had happened before 
and Griswold had no more to say. 

Carroll’s mother was Mrs. Stubbs who called him “Jemes 
Henry,” she was the kindest and best mother to him and they 
were as happy as could be. 

SOME OLD LETTERS 
By S. H. Griswold 

More than twenty years ago when I lived at Juhan’s place in 
Clinton, an old letter written by my father E. C. Griswold to 
Sanford Tippett was picked up in the mud in front of Dr. 
Kingman’s. This letter was written in Vicksburg, Miss. Oct. 19, 
1842, where my father had gone on business for Griswold Gin 
Factory. Mr. Abraham Massey the Uncle Abraham spoken of 
in the letter) was with him and also employed by the gin factary. 
He was I believe a local Methodist preacher. He was the father 
of the late Wm. and W. O. Massey of Macon. Sanford Tippett 
lived in Clinton and taught the boys school there for many years. 
This letter was written on three letter sized pieces of paper and 
folded into another sheet and sealed with a wafer and on this 
blank side was written, Sanford Tippett, Esq., Clinton, Georgia. 
Near the address was stamped, Vicksburg, Miss. Oct. 20, 1842. 
On the upper corner in blue ink was marked 25 cents. Then 
there was no envelope or postage stamp used. 

Dear Tippett: I am once more safe and sound, after 14 days 
of hard riding a distance of 517 miles, expenses $17.00 and 
not a drop of rain while enroute. Came a different route from 
Macon. Through Thomaston and the Valley in Talbot county 
and West Point is not so pleasant a route, as through Columbus. 
Tell Dash, at West Point I saw the first boy by the name of 
Tee. I had the blues most miserably bad. You can form no idea 
of my feeling, the day I left Clinton. I felt that I was bidding

adieu forever to everything that I held dear on earth, then I 
realized the truth, that this life is not made of flattering dreams. 
The fountain of my tears laid shallow and that I will never set 
clear of this depression of spirit, for nothing I have seen can 
bring back my wanted gaiety. 

For the first four days, nothing worth noticing appeared. On 
the fifth night we stopped with a Hardshell Baptist, and we had 
hardly gotten into the house before Massey and he were in 
an argument on the scriptures, first Massey has the best of him 
but he falls back to a stronger position. When I went to sleep 
they were still at it, and when I got up in the morning they be¬ 
gan where they had left off. Next night we stayed at Howards, 
Miss C. B. was there, a doctor cousin of Gordon Howards. We 
spent two days at Mr. Daniel Pratts very pleasantly, there was 
a party and all the wealth and beauty of Alauga was present. 
I spent Monday in examining Pratt’s improvements on the gin. 
His shop is better arranged for doing work quickly and cheaply 
than any I have ever seen. He has the best merchant mill I ever 
saw, and one of the finest and most convenient dwellings that 
I have ever seen. He had built more than twenty buildings, most 
of them occupied by his workmen. It is a monument to industry 
and perseverance. When he moved here in 1838 he was not 
worth $10,000, now he has expended $1,000,000 on improve¬ 
ments. Tell Wornafn, that I stayed one night with his friend 
Therman, and saw his girl. 

Here parts of the-letter are obliterated but says to congrat¬ 
ulate J. M. Gray, then he says to write him and tell him every¬ 
thing about everyone and especially the girls. I can’t help but 
think about them, God bless them. 

These repudiators here are getting their eyes open, nothing 
but gold and silver passes, they sell their cotton for nothing 
else. The crops are fine and very healthy. 

Your friend, E. C. Griswold. 

Miss C. B. was Carrie Billingslea, Howard was a son-in-law 
of Mrs. Lowther. Worman was a Mr. Billy Worman who lived 
in Clinton.

Another old letter, I have read. 

Dear Master, I have been in your service as a regular hand 
in the gin shop, but of late my eyesight begins to fail consider¬ 
able, so much so that I am unable to do the work as it should be 
done, and I do not suppose that you have any other use for me 
but to do such work. Kind master you have promised me that 
you would sell me at the close of the year. Please let me know 
what amount of money you will ask for me at the close of the 
year? These lines are from your very humble servant, George 
to his Master, June 2nd, 1860. 

George belonged to Sam Griswold and was a large yellow 
man, of fine character, good sense and a splendid mechanic, re¬ 
liable, trustworthy and had been sent all over the country, to 
repair Griswold’s gins. George had a remarkable mind and mem¬ 
ory and often preached. He could not read but had others to 
read to him and could repeat verbatim most of what he heard. 
His wife Nancy was above the average and they had a large 
family, most of whom could read and write and one of them 
wrote the letter for George. Nancy had a sister who belonged 
to an Irishman named Healy who had much property and he 
lived with his servant and had children by her. He sent these 
children north to be educated and at his death left his property 
to her and their children. She sold it and went north and sent 
money to Mr. Wood in Macon to buy her sister Nancy for her. 
George wanted to go with his wife and did. 

The Irishman Healy lived on the river in Jones County, later 
his plantation was bought by the I. B. English estate upon which 
Mr. Byrd lives. 

T. R. TURNER AND SOME OTHERS 
OF LONG AGO 
By S. H. Griswold 

There used to stand on the hill going from Clinton to Gray, 
on the right and opposite to the Hitch Hill, a large two-story 
white house. The Cook family owned it and lived there when 
I first knew it. Several tall Lombardy poplars were around it 
and it looked pretty from Clinton as one drove out. George 
Cook, reared here, married Miss Winship and moved to Atlan- 


472 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


ta. The next owners were Jeff Cox, Mrs. Lowther, and next 
Radford J. Turner bought it, tore it down and moved it to his 
home place near Gray, and built onto the house in which he 
lived. 

Rad Turner, came from Wilkes county, was first a manager 
of Widow Godard’s plantation. Widow Godard was a sister of 
Judge Hearndon Patterson, and was raised on the spot where 
Judge Johnson’s house at Gray now stands. Rad Turner mar¬ 
ried the Mrs. Godard. He was a tall loose jointed man, with 
very dark skin and black eyes and hair, and even white teeth. He 
had a large mouth and I liked to see him laugh heartily. He re¬ 
minded me of pictures of Abe Lincoln. 

He hadn’t had as much education as some, but had a great 
deal of native ability, common sense and energy. He and his 
wife prospered and he always had money to lend to those he 
trusted, and many stores in Clinton borrowed from him and 
many young men starting out in life who needed money, made 
loans. 

Turner had a gristmill. I used to drive my oxen team to take 
corn to his mill there where I met Henry Roberts and others. 
Turner’s first wife died. He used to give big dinners and a dance 
on a platform in the woods about once a year. He enjoyed the 
dances and dinners as much as anyone. People came from far 
and near, there was always a big crowd. He use to distill good 
peach brandy, and gave his guests a drink before the barbecue. 

He was a good farmer, and in addition to his own, he ran the 
Seabrooks plantation which belonged to the Johnson children 
in Floyd county. Clark Smith later bought the place. After the 
first wife’s death he married Miss Humphries, daughter of a 
prominent Jones county family. He had several children. After 
her death he married a Miss Elliott. Rad Turner should be 
remembered as a substantial Jones County citizen, thrifty and 
a worker, a leader in his time. 

Sam Middlebrooks bought the Dr. Bowen plantation from 
Dr. Jim Bowen who moved near Prattville, Ala. Turner later 
got this because Middlebrooks defaulted his note. The lands 
proved to be very valuable in later years. There were three 
brothers, Silas, John and Isaac Middlebrooks who owned lands 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


473 


on Hog Creek. They were good citizens and well-to-do men. 
Silas left Mrs. Bill Nevins, Mrs. Mercer (married John Brad¬ 
ley), Bert, Dave and Silas all of whom were known to many 
Jones County people. Dave, Bert and Mrs. Nevins moved to 
Ocilla. Mrs. Bradley and Silas died. Mrs. Nathan Morris and 
Mrs. John Thompson were children of Isaac. Sam died in Louis¬ 
iana (a preacher). Mrs. Morris is dead. John Middlebrooks had 
no children. He gave his property to his wife and at her death it 
went to nephews Dave Middlebrooks and Major Jim Jones, 
both wounded and disabled during the Civil War where both 
had made a record as gallant soldiers. 

Rad Turner and his three wives are buried at Gray in the old 
Patterson burial ground. 

HARDY CHRISTIAN AND DESCENDANTS 
By S. H. Griswold—1908 

At Hayward, N. C. in the early part of 1800 lived Hardy 
Christian. He was a sturdy, hardy old fellow. It was told that 
Uncle Hardy would go to Raleigh, N. C. occasionally and take 
too many drinks and that he would come home and sail his hat 
in the front door, and that unless his wife came to the door and 
invited him in, he would climb into the oak tree and stay until 
she did. He had a large family some of whom came to Jones 
County and settled. I remember Lewis, Henry and Ruch. They 
were Whigs in politics, had a peculiar accent as they talked and 
were good citizens. 

One day Tom Whidby was imitating Lewis’s manner of talk¬ 
ing over in Clinton and had the crowd laughing when Lewis 
Christian quietly walked up on the outside of the crowd and 
heard it all. He picked up a big stick and walked up to Tom, 
who turned as white as a sheet. Lewis said “I ought to break 
every bone in your body,” the crowd yelled to let him off and 
Lewis continued, “If I hear of you again mimicing me, that will 
be the last time.” Tom apologized and it was settled. 

Lewis lived in the upper part of Jones in 1875, and was in 
the tract of a cyclone, which blew down houses and killed two 
or three on his place. Lewis joined the church and was faithful 
for several years but then he back-slid and his family was much 


474 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


concerned so they held a prayer meeting for him, and they all 
prayed for his return to the fold. Lewis’s son-in-law said, “Lord 
send another cyclone and blow him back.” Now Lewis was 
standing outside in the chimney corner listening, grabbed a stick 
and walked in taking the son-in-law in the collar and shaking 
him saying, “I draw the line at cyclones, I can’t stand that, if 
you ever pray for another cyclone, I’ll beat you, so help me.” 

Henry Christian was a remarkable man in many ways. He 
was as fearless as a lion, witty as could be, would fight for a 
friend as quickly as for himself. He ran a barroom in Clinton 
for many years and also had property near there and had a good 
farm. He never went back on a friend and never let an enemy 
think that he liked him. He used to say when he was serving on 
the jury and the lawyers would strike a jury to try a case, “Just 
look now they won’t have me on that jury but one of these bee- 
martined-headed fellows, that they can pull around to suit them, 
they won’t take me or a man that has his own will,” they knew 
that no one could influence Henry. 

Henry came to our camp in Virginia to see his wounded son, 
in the Civil War. Capt. Johnson had been kind and attentive 
to young Christian, and never was there a more grateful man 
to another than Henry was to Capt. Johnson. As long as he 
lived woe to any man who spoke ill of Johnson before Henry 
Christian. The son died in Virginia at that time. 

Ruch Christian was the most powerful man physically that 
I ever saw. He went with the Jones County Volunteers to the 
war and was in the 12th Regiment. Col. Ed Johnson said if he 
had 1,000 men like Ruch Christian he would march into New 
York. He was a gallant soldier, losing his left arm at Cedar 
Mountain, but he could do as much work with one hand as any 
man could do with two. His sons were, Hardy, Hill, Robert and 
Tom. Mrs. Mitchell (mother of Mrs. Tom Duffy), Mrs. Sam 
Kingman and Mrs. Mike Byrd were his daughters. 

Hardy was a veteran of the 45th Ga. Regiment, Hall and 
Robert were fine fellows and dependable citizens. Mrs. King- 
man lives in Macon, and has several children, refined and edu¬ 
cated. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY

Mrs. Mitchell died some years ago but her daughter Mrs. 
Duffy still lives at James and has a fine family of splendid cit¬ 
izens. Mrs. Byrd has several children and are all good Jones 
County citizens. 

BENJAMIN JAMES, HIS SONS AND WHAT 
THEY ACCOMPLISHED 
By S. H. Griswold 

Benjamin James lived in the lower part of the county on the 
Clinton and Irwinton road where that road crosses the Central 
Railroad. He was a good citizen and raised a family mostly of 
boys. I recall Able, Buck, Lem, Tom and George, and the young¬ 
er ones, Frank and Ben. Able, Buck and Tom served in the army 
of Northern Virginia in Co. B, of the famous 12th Ga. Regi¬ 
ment. Lem was in Co. F, 45th Ga. Reg. There were no better 
soldiers than these men. Buck was killed and the others returned 
to Jones County. They went to work without money or negroes, 
or help and made their way, and have been leading factors in 
the county and state. 

Able bought most of the old Hardeman plantation, and also 
built railroads, and operated sawmills. His comrades used to 
tell it on him that he could not get any shoes in the army large 
enough for him when Lee was invading Maryland, so his officers 
offered to give him duty indoors as it was very cold. He refused 
indignantly, saying he would stay with his company barefoot, 
and he did until he was captured and kept in prison a long time. 

Lem was a good soldier and returned and helped Maxwell 
build bridges and railroads, afterwards bought a large part of 
the Woolfolk plantation, built there and called it James Station. 
Able, Tom and James built most of the Georgia railroad near 
there. Lem built a second large house at James, and owned stock 
in the Central Ga. Land and Improvement Company. 

Lem was a solid man of a sturdy and dependable character 
and was respected throughout the county. At his death Jones 
lost one of its most useful citizens. 

Tom James, a veteran of the Civil War, also built railroads 
for different companies, from Macon to Atlanta, from McDon¬ 
ough to Columbus and others. He located at Old Town planta- 


476 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


tion in Jefferson county. He made money and met Miss Cheat¬ 
ham of Bethany and was married. He with his brothers Lem 
and Able helped to build the Ga. Southern and Florida railroad. 
Tom had several sawmills and helped to build the town of Ad¬ 
rian where he had a big mill. 

These James got what schooling they could at the old field 
school of Alexander Martin, they applied their knowledge, their 
great energies, integrity and aggressiveness, and were fine and 
leading citizens wherever they were. I knew them well and also 
went to the field school with them, and was a neighbor and can 
say that no better or kinder men ever lived. 

Sam Griswold built a church at Griswoldville and Uncle Billy 
Denning a Primitive Baptist said that Griswold built it for the 
Methodists, to which Griswold replied, “I built a church, it 
doesn’t belong to the Methodists but to me, they have one Sun¬ 
day and you can have one if you like, my folks are Methodists 
but damned if I ain’t sorter Baptist.” (Uncle Billy laughed and 
went to work, to get himself up a Sunday to preach.) 

DAVID E. BLOUNT 
By S. H. Griswold — Jones Co. News — 1909 

David E. Blount was one of the Judges of the Inferior court 
in the early days of Jones County. He was a large, dignified man, 
usually carried a cane, was most distinguished looking, and very 
strong in his likes and dislikes. When once he made up his mind 
he was like the rock of Gibralter. He was a just and able judge. 
He was a Whig in politics and was an intense partizan. 

He was born and reared in Jones County, served in the Leg¬ 
islature. His father was a wealthy planter living near Clinton. 
He bought and inherited 2,000 acres of very fine land. He was a 
good farmer, for on two acres of land he threshed 80 bushels of 
wheat. He had the finest hogs, South-Down sheep and improved 
cattle that could be found. His plantation was kept up to date 
and few planters had such good crops. He had a fruit orchard of 
cherries, apples, peaches, pears and grapes. 

He had many slaves, which he required to work, but they were 
treated well, and after the crops were laid by he gave them a 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


477 


big barbecue, served with cakes, Brunswick Stew and all the 
Southern eats. He was a typical Southern gentleman and host. 

He was a friend of James M. Gray, although Gray was a 
leader of the Democrats in Jones Co. and he lead the Whigs, 
they never let politics interfere with their friendship. Blount was 
a union man, opposed secession and fought it until the last, while 
Gray advocated secession. He said to Gray, “If you secede you 
will have a war on your hands,” “Mat, are you willing to should¬ 
er your gun and fight”? “No,” said Gray, “I am too old and I 
feel sure there will be no war.” “You are mistaken” said Blount, 
“War will certainly follow secession, and if I advocated it, as you 
do, I would feel bound to take my gun and go and fight for the 
cause.” (Gray was only 47 years old.) 

Although Blount maintained he was a union man, Sherman 
burned his dwelling house on the plantation and destroyed there 
as he did anywhere else. Blount married Captain Jack Pitts’ 
daughter and had one daughter. As she grew up he moved to 
Macon, where he could be near her as she received her educa¬ 
tion. He often visited his plantation though and kept it going. I 
lived on his place in 1867 and was his partner on the farm. The 
changed state of affairs after the slaves were freed made him 
very unhappy, he struggled with poor help several years with no 
profits and finally became so discouraged sold his place to David 
Slocumb who later sold it to Ed Morton, Billy Lowe and others. 
I moved to Macon and we used to reminisce about Jones County 
and its affairs, which he knew well and much of the early history 
of Jones. He knew the case of Elijah Barber trying to imper¬ 
sonate Jesse Bunkley and the facts of the trial. He believed 
Barber to be guilty, and said that he talked with Barber’s broth¬ 
er and the brother thought that he was guilty. Blount was a 
great admirer of Judge Hardeman and they were good friends, 
and were executors of the will of his father and were guardians 
of his half brothers Jim and Ed, he was very strict with them 
and required them to study and bring up good marks. I am sure 
James Blount owed his success in life to David’s influence. 

David Blount was also the guardian of Pate, John and Noel 
Pitts his wife’s half brothers. He was stern with these boys, 
kind and good but demanded obedience. John ran off because 


478 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


he would not be bossed, and Blount never spoke to him again. 
Because their uncle Peyton Pitts sided with John, their friend¬ 
ship was broken up for many years. He educated his half broth¬ 
er Ed Blount and did many things for him, but he married 
against his will and he never spoke to him again. If you did 
right he was your staunchest friend but if you did wrong, he 
was through with you. Albert Blank, Jeff Stewart, Beauford 
Stallsworth, and Steve Juhan, were his neighbors and friends. 
H is lands surrounded Elam church and he attended this church. 
Jones County never had a more influential or progressive citizen 
than David Blount. When he moved to Macon he was also an 
outstanding citizen there. 

EXTRACT FROM MEMORY OF FIFTY YEARS 
By S. H. Griswold 

The following sketch is taken from “The Memory of Fifty 
Years,” by William H. Sparks. 

This was the last Governor to be elected by the Legislature. 
The contestants were Gov. George M. Troup of Laurens Coun¬ 
ty and Matthew Talbot of Wilkes County. 

At the meeting of the Legislature it was doubtful which party 
had the majority. Two members for Troup were unable to be 
present on account of illness and the Talbot side thought this 
gave them a majority. There was no political principle involved 
in the contest, both were Republicans. There was no patronage, 
and the executive was literally nothing, yet there was an inten¬ 
sity of feeling involved for which there was no accounting, un¬ 
less it was the anxiety of one party to sustain Mr. Crawford 
at home for the Presidency, and to gratify the hatred of Clark, 
and sustain Mr. Calhoun. Every means was resorted to before 
the day of the election, but pecuniary consideration which would 
have been scorned. All the men were open to reason, to State 
pride and a sincere desire to do what they deemed best for the 
state, which was at stake. 

The machinery of party was incomplete and individual inde¬ 
pendence universal. Each man pled his cause with a passion. The 
public service of Troup, his stern, lofty and eminently pure 
character were used by his friends as reasons why he should be 
chosen. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


479 


The people of the state were clamoring for fulfillment of the 
contract between the state and general government for the re¬ 
moval of the Indians from the territory of the state and Troup 
was urged upon the voters as being favorable to this policy and 
possessing the talent and determination to effect this issue. 

Finally the day of the election arrived. The representative 
men of the state arrived, hotel accommodations could not be 
found for the crowd. The Judges of the different Judicial dis¬ 
tricts, leading members of the bar, men of fortune and leisure, 
prominent church men and ministers of the gospel were there. 
The distinguished Jesse Mercer was a moving spirit, and a 
Troup man. Daniel Duffie a Methodist and strong Troup man 
was present. The Senate came into the representative cham¬ 
ber at noon, to effect a joint ballot for the election of governor. 
The President of the Senate took his seat with the Speaker of 
the House, and in obedience to law assumed the presidency of 
the assembled body. (State Capitol was at Milledgeville.) 

The members were ordered to prepare their ballot to vote for 
the governor of the state. The secretary of the Senate called the 
roll of the Senate, each man walking up to the desk as his name 
was called and depositing his ballot. The same routine was gone 
through with the House. The hat containing the ballots was 
handed to the President of the Senate. Thomas Stock of Greene 
County proceeded to count the ballots. A deadly silence fell on 
the huge crowd as he called the name from each ballot. Every 
bit of the room was taken, the gallery, the windows, committee 
rooms were all filled and only the excited breathing of the people 
could be heard. There were 166 ballots and one by one the bal¬ 
lots were called and tallied. It required 84 to elect, as the 160th 
ballot was counted, each candidate had 80 each. 

At this point, the feeling was so intense, and even though 
it was a chilly November day, the people wiped their brows with 
handkerchiefs. A wag in the gallery sang out. “The darkest 
time of the night is just before day.” The count went on one for 
Troup and one for Talbot, it was 82-82, then Troup and only 
one ballot left, the President called out Troup again. 

The scene that followed was indescribable. The two parties 
occupying separate sides of the chamber. The side voting for 


480 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Troup raised up with one loud cry of exultation. The lobby and 
the gallery joined in the shout. Members and spectators rushed 
into each others arms, kissed, wept, shouted, kicked over desks 
and for ten minutes this demonstration suspended the business 
of the day. Finally the presiding officer got the floor. Duffie with 
his Irish brogue said, “Lord, we thank Thee, the state is re¬ 
deemed from the rule of the devil, John Clark.” Jesse Mercer 
left the chamber waving his hat above his bald head and shout¬ 
ing, “Glory, glory,” until he was out of sight. General Black- 
shear a very reserved gentleman, had made no demonstration, 
he rose and with tears streaming down his face said, “Now Lord 
I am ready to die,” as order was restored, it was announced 
Troup 84 and Talbot 82. President Stock proclaimed George 
M. Troup as duly elected Governor of the State of Georgia. 
Next time Troup was elected over Clark by 700 votes. 

This should be remembered as the last election of a governor 
for Georgia by the Legislature, 1825. 

A GENTLEMAN OF THE OLD SCHOOL— 
September 24, 1908 

Major Ben Barron was one of the leading men of Jones 
County, a man of sound judgment, business ability and integrity. 
He owned large bodies of the finest land situated on the tribu¬ 
taries of Cedar Creek. These were strong red lands with a 
heavy timber growth. He was raised in this section and really 
knew good land when he saw it. He made investments in land 
instead of seeking new country as some planters did. He owned 
a good many Negroes, and used the same judgment in buying 
them. He had some of the ablest and strongest in the county. 

He demanded a good steady day’s labor, treated them humane¬ 
ly, fed and housed them well. He saw that the sick had care, and 
that they had a preacher to teach them. He maintained disci¬ 
pline with a kind hand. An ordained minister of the Methodist 
church came out on Sunday afternoon and preached. F. L. Brant¬ 
ley was sent by the Methodist church as a missionary to the 
Negroes, and a regular appointment was at Major Barron’s 
place. One Sunday he had the little Negroes in line asking ques¬ 
tions from the catechism. He asked one, “Who made you?” 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


481 


“God,” he answered. “What did he make you for?” He hung 
his head and couldn’t answer; as did one after the other, finally 
one little boy rolled his eyes and answered, “He made us to 
make cotton for Mars Benjamin.” 

Major Barron’s grandfather came from Maryland and settled 
in Hancock County, Ga., in the first settling of the new country. 
Here Major Barron was born on July 3, 1802 and came with his 
parents to Jones in 1810 when eight years old, and they lived 
near where J. M. Hunt now lives, on lands now owned by John 
Creigh. To his parents were born seven boys, and three girls. 
The girls all lived to be grown, two of his brothers and one of his 
sisters are buried in Jones County. The others moved to Monroe, 
Macon and Bartow counties. All are dead. Major Ben Barron’s 
brothers and sisters were, Sally, James, Wylly, William, Nancy, 
Rebecca, Jonathan, Willis, Thomas Green, and Abington. 

Benjamin Barron married three times, his first wife the daugh¬ 
ter of one of his nearest neighbors Martha Washington Cabiness 
daughter of Harrison Cabiness and a sister of the late Judge 
Cabiness of Forsyth. They had six sons, only three growing to 
manhood. The oldest, Harrison C. Barron died near Richmond, 
Va. in 1862 being a First Lieut, in Co. F, 45th Ga. Regiment. 
He died after being wounded, at the house of a Mr. Wattes. 
The writer of this article was a member of his company at the 
time, and visited him while sick and helped to bury him at the 
corner of Wattes’s garden, and if things have not changed too 
much, I could go there now and locate his grave. His cousin, 
Jack Barron who died there was buried by his side. Harrison 
was a fine officer, beloved by his comrades and the South lost a 
fine soldier when he fell. The next son was William better known 
as “Bub.” He went to the army early in the 60’s with the Jones 
County Volunteers which became Co. B, 12th Ga. Regiment, 
was a Lieutenant in this company and was killed in Richmond, 
Va. soon after entering the service. His third son was Sam Bar¬ 
ron who is an honored and well loved citizen of this county, liv¬ 
ing at the home place of his father and is truly a Southern gen¬ 
tleman of the old school. 

Major Barron’s second wife was Mary Anne Shropshire, 
daughter of Captain Jim Shropshire of Jasper County, one son 


482 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Ben Barron, Jr. The third wife was a sister of the second wife, 
Sallie F. Shropshire who survived her husband several years 
and was a most estimable lady. By this marriage was born, Joe 
Walter Barron, Round Oak, Mrs. Sallie B. Smith of Round 
Oak and Mrs. John T. Williams of “Four Oaks,” Jones County. 

Dr. James Barron, W. W. Barron, Capt. Bob Barron, Jack 
Barron, Mrs. Austin and Mrs. Morris were his nephews and 
nieces. 

Major Ben Barron loved Jones County and her people. He 
tried hard to teach his children his way of thinking. He never 
took much stock in politics though he was chosen to go to the 
Legislature in 1862, without opposition, both Whigs and Demo¬ 
crats voting for him. He was an old line Whig, and a strong 
union man before secession. He used all of his influence to stave 
off the split, but when Georgia seceded he had nothing more to 
say. He gave his energy, his produce and his sons to the cause 
of the South. He believed in gradual emancipation for the slaves, 
and that this would not have left the South broken, and the 
period of reconstruction would not have caused such bitterness. 

He rode to Macon, 25 miles, on horseback as that was the 
market plzce, I have often seen him ride through Clinton with 
a heavy blanket around him on a cold day, even in his old age, 
he had great energy and ability. Major Barron died in Nov. 
3, 1872. His plantations being in the very path of Sherman’s 
march to the sea, he lost all of his slaves, his cotton, gins 
and buildings, and nothing was left. He did not give up as some 
did, but went to work with a will to restore his property, help 
his community and county and rebuilt his fortune. He was re¬ 
spected and honored and left a record to be remembered. 

CONCERNING OLD CITIZENS 
By S. H. Griswold — 1909 — Jones Co. News 

Jones County had some outstanding citizens in the past. One 
of the eldest was Horatio Bowen; he was a man of great energy 
and character but eccentric and irritable. He made good money, 
owned fine lands in the county and many slaves. He lived in 
Clinton the place where Judge Barron now lives. His plantation 
house and quarters were on the Eatonton road, his land extended 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


483 


on both sides from near the Milledgeville road on the south to 
Briar Lane on the road to Half Acre, near Bradley on the north 
and from Gray to the top of Pine Ridge on the east and west. 
It had much of the original timber on it of which he was very 
careful only cutting the dead trees and selecting firewood. He 
had a fine vineyard of grapes, Catawbas, Delawares and others, 
and his wines were known over the country side. His favorite 
treatment was to cut and bleed his patients and put leeches on 
them and use his lancet for drawing the blood out. When the 
Dr. asked the Postmaster Mike Sullivan for mail in his gruff 
way, Mike would answer in the same vein. They liked to fuss 
and the on-lookers enjoyed it. He raised a large family, his only 
daughter was Mrs. Swanson. “Miss Sallie” who lived in the 
house in front of Judge Johnson’s. Dr. Bowen was a power in 
the social and political life in Clinton. He lived to see all of his

not manage it with free negroes, and lost most of their inheri¬ 
tance. 

Dr. Asbury Kingman also came to Clinton and practiced be¬ 
fore the war. He was an educated gentleman and Chesterfield 
in his manner. 

Dr. James F. Barron was a resident and physician in Clinton. 
He was born, lived all of his life, worked here and loved Jones 
County; no one worked for the soldiers and their families during 
the war and the dark days of reconstruction more than he. He 
was a man of brains and strong will, he was sought for advice 
and guidance. He was plain, a loyal Democrat, scorned a dude, 
and was sincere as could be. He was a capable physician. His 
father had a large family and after James finished at Clinton 
his uncle loaned him money to go to New York and study medi¬ 
cine. This he did, graduating there returned to Clinton to prac¬ 
tice. Dr. Barron was strong in his likes and dislikes and had his 
faults but all in all he was a good citizen and stood by Jones 
County well, in her hour of need. He represented the county in 
the Legislature during the war. He was a very potent factor in 
politics in the county.

OF MEN THEY HAVE 
S. H. Griswold—Nov. 25, 1909—Jones Co. News 

There were two brothers, Mike and John Lowe that lived on 
the Garrison Road near the 10 mile branch and a mile from the 
Cross roads toward Milledgeville. Mike lived right on the road 
but John lived on a neighborhood road in the rear of Mike’s 
place. Mike had a good farm, some slaves, and his wife was the 
daughter of Jim Simmons and sister of Mrs. Belle Roberts, 
they had one son and one daughter. John was a very peculiar 
man, and some thought mentally unbalanced, he wore a tall silk 
hat, a blue cut-a-way coat with smooth brass buttons and always 
carried a crooked handle walking cane. The first time and the 
last time I saw him he was dressed in this manner. He was al¬ 
ways giving advice about curing diseases, he would say, “Take a 
pinch of salt often,” for almost any trouble one had. For indi¬ 
gestion he would say “Swallow three pediculosis alive.” He sang 
and made extravagant motions, frequently, and disliked his 
brother Mike very much. He called him “Marse Mike” sarcasti¬ 
cally. After slaves were freed he lived alone on his place and 
needed help, a neighbor, Dave Slocumb seeing his condition 
helped him and was a true friend to him. His relatives tried to 
place him in the asylum, but Dave helped to keep him out and 
watched after him. When John Lowe died, he left Dave Slocumb 
his property. 

The Felps family lived near Slocumb Station, and Mrs. Felps 
and son Bob could remove any wart, by touching them, and had 
quite a reputation. Mr. Felps made wool hats, and many people, 
white and black wore them, they outlasted any hat that could 
be bought. Bob and another son went with the Gray Infantry to 
the Civil War and died in Virginia. A grandson William ran 
against R. T. Ross for Ordinary once, later he became a Bap¬ 
tist preacher, married a daughter of Moses Wilson near Roberts 
Station.

Joe Glawson was a big strong man of great energy and was 
the overseer for Mrs. Lowther before the war, also on the Free¬ 
man place when he left for the war. He could get more work 
out of slaves than any man in the county, he was very positive 
but never cruel. He made good crops and was well liked. He 
bought a large plantation on Hog Creek from the Stewart fam¬ 
ily. He owned some fine lands and made money on them. Once 
I lived near him and had an infant daughter very ill, he and his 
good wife came over and nursed and helped in every way they 
could. I shall never forget their kindness. Joe Glawson was a 
splendid citizen. 

THOMAS W. STEWART AND FAMILY 

The descendants of Thomas Ware Stewart are many and 
among the foremost and best citizens of the county. With their 
own hands Mr. Stewart and his wife carved out almost a for¬ 
tune and were the leaders in home and farm improvements. They 
had a very fine home for that day and time, good fruit orchards 
for home use. Educated their children not only in the schools 
but in practical things on the farm, cooking and housekeeping 
and sewing. 

Dr. Polly Stewart was the leading spirit among the ladies 
making clothing and getting supplies for Confederate soldiers. 
There never were two more perfectly mated people in Georgia. 
They pulled together in everything they did and made a success 
of their farms and home and family life. 

Thomas W. Stewart was born March 1, 1790 in Mecklen¬ 
burg County, N. C. and came to Jones County when he was 
fourteen years old, with his grandfather, Samuel Smith. His 
father William Stewart and his mother Jane Smith were both 
born in Ireland and were of sturdy Presbyterian stock. He had 
a fair education and knew the trade of a brick mason. He became 
a manufacturer of brick and contracted for brick work. By the 
age of thirty he had acquired nice property and several slaves. 
He married Miss Polly Harrison Wilson, also of Jones County. 
Their first home was on a farm about two miles north of Fort- 
ville, now occupied by Matt Blount, colored. There, most of the 
children were born. In 1842 he bought 1,800 acres of fine land 


494 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


from James Gray, father of Matt Gray and four miles north¬ 
east of Clinton, built a comfortable dwelling on it, which is still 
there and now owned by the widow of Joseph Glawson. 

Here the Stewarts lived and prospered. He died Nov. 18, 
1846. He was noted for his unshakeable honesty and morality, 
modeled on the Presbyterian creed. His wife Polly Harrison 
was the daughter of Larkin and Mary Cabiness Wilson, also 
of Jones County, but later of Monroe County. She was born 
April 12, 1805 and was married at the age of sixteen. At forty- 
one years of age she was left a widow with twelve children, the 
thirteenth died. 

Polly Harrison Stewart being a woman of superior mental 
and business ability assumed the responsibility of her husband’s 
estate with heroic firmness and managed it with success. She was 
a member of the Baptist church, brought her children up kindly 
but strictly. She gave of her means and provisions to help the 
Confederate cause and was President of the Jones County 
Soldier Relief Society. She was an excellent nurse, and doctor and 
helped with sick friends, neighbors or anyone in need. She died 
in 1866 at the home of her son-in-law Henry S. Greaves in 
Clinton. She and her husband sleep in the quiet graveyard on 
the old plantation. 

The six sons living at the time of the Civil War were, Jeffer¬ 
son, Larkin, Henry, Jasper, Mack, Polk and Joe Day served 
in the Confederate Army. H. J. and Joe Day Stewart and Mrs. 
Park are the only survivors as I write this (1908). Mrs. H. S. 
Greaves died at her home in Clinton only a short time ago. Lar¬ 
kin Stewart moved to Houston County after the war. Mack 
Stewart had married and moved to Houston County also. Jasper 
Stewart lived at Gray. His was an honorable and useful life, 
respected by all. His children were likewise respected and out¬ 
standing in the community life. 

Mrs. Park, one of the daughters is living in Haddock, she is 
a noble woman having taught many of Jones County’s children 
in school, and by her precept and example has made polished 
ladies out of the girls. 

Jeff Stewart was the first man in Jones County to grow peaches

and apples for market in Jones and had a beautiful orchard. 
He was well posted in horticulture. 

Polk Stewart was killed in the trenches in Savannah by Sher¬ 
man’s army. This was a terrific blow to his mother who was at 
home working for the cause and praying for his return. 

Mrs. Henry Greaves another daughter, was a most excellent 
and accomplished lady, kind, patient, a Christian, no matter 
what happened she met it calmly and living in the turbulent 
times of our county, she had much to try her soul and patience. 

The descendants of this couple were of superior mold and 
good citizens (all that I have known). 

CLINTON—HOW THE BOYS PLAYED JOKES 

Clinton was noted for the fun and practical jokes played by 
the young men. All one had to say if his buggy or horse looked 
unusual was to say, “I’ve been to Clinton,” One of the favorite 
and noisy practices of the time I write was the belling or sere¬ 
nading of the bride and groom, when a couple married in the 
community or even if there was a couple staying overnight, woe 
to them. 

Col. Thomas Hardeman of Macon married Miss Jane Lams- 
den in Eatonton in 1848, and as there was no railroad he had 
gone through in a carriage and brought his bride with him back 
to Clinton. His sister Mrs. E. C. Griswold lived in Clinton and 
there they planned to spend the night. His uncle Judge R. V. 
Hardeman lived nearby and he knew Clinton well enough to 
know what to expect, and just before getting to the place he 
told his bride what to expect and not to get frightened. 

After their arrival the boys got together and plans were made. 
Tom Hardeman had studied law in his uncle’s office and was 
really one of the boys, hail fellow well met kind. By twelve 
o’clock they had all gotten together and formed a line, marched 
around the courthouse square, some blowing horns, some with 
cow bells, some with long tin bugles, some with dinner bells, tin 
pans, guns and pistols loaded with powder, just anything that 
would make a loud noise. 

As the signal was given by the leader, everyone made as much 
noise as possible, marched on to the Hardeman house and sur- 


496 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


rounded it, and made several noisy marches. The fife and drums 
played as they sang, “The Girl I Left Behind Me,” The leader 
commanded the dogs’ serenade and the baying at the moon, by 
men, that sounded like the smallest fice to the deepest hounds, 
it really was a grand imitation of dogs. Then the dance of the 
cats where they meowed, howled, and cried as if thousands of 
cats were fighting. The leader called for a serenade of the imps 
of the infernal regions, and this sounded like the rebel yell com¬ 
ing from hundreds of throats. Gabriel’s trumpets were commend¬ 
ed to blow and all the tin trumpets gave forth a mighty blast. 
The music of the wedding bells was announced and the bells 
from the largest to the smallest rang out. Then the command 
for the blowers of the rams’ horns to march around the house 
seven times. This went on until the groom and bride could stand 
no more, they called out the window that they had enough and 
to go to Sam Morgan’s bar and the drinks would be on him. So 
off the line marched with loud hurrahs and laughter, with every 
instrument blasting forth, and to the bar where they drank to 
the health of the bride and groom. 

Col. Hardeman had probably partaken of one of these affairs 
himself, and he knew if he came out they would take him off for 
the whole night and keep him. Whoever married in the village 
or came there was sure to have a “belling” as they called it. The 
police force never interfered unless things got too rough, and 
this celebrating was by the best men in the town. The older 
crowd would look on and smile, but the poor bride and groom 
were frightened almost to death. 

When July 4th came round this was a great day of celebra¬ 
tion. Anvils were loaded with powder and fired. Powder was 
buried in the ground and exploded, and all the noise makers let 
loose. Once they had a cannon, and Charles McCarthy who was 
for a long time clerk of the Superior Court and Ordinary of 
Jones County had his arm so badly shattered by the premature 
explosion of this cannon while celebrating the 4th of July that 
his arm had to be amputated above the elbow. He lived a num¬ 
ber of years after this accident, and still held the same office

when he died. It was he who brought Roland T. Ross to this 
office and trained him. Ross succeeded McCarthy and held the 
place until he died. 

PINE RIDGE BAPTIST CHURCH 
By S. H. Griswold 

On a high ridge on the road from Clinton to Milledgeville 
near the Morton’s place is the Pine Ridge Baptist Church built, 
I don’t know the date, but the building was old when I was a 
boy, and now in 1908 I am an old man. 

The general meetings held in this old church were great affairs 
and well attended, by visitors as well as home folks, elders, and 
great crowds were there for all day meetings and dinner on the 
ground. 

This church was built of heavy timbers, strong and well put 
together. It had no ceiling, a large box pulpit was built a little 
to one side. The long benches in front for the whites and those 
in the rear for the Negroes. The ladies sat on one side and the 
men on the other. The general meeting lasted through Friday, 
Saturday and Sunday. Each one vied with the other to bring the 
best and biggest basket and invite everyone to eat. Servant as 
well as master feasted, with some to spare. There were bar¬ 
becued mutton, pig, kid, chicken pies, fried chicken, breads, cakes, 
custards, pickles, milk, butter, cordials and numerous other things 
produced on farms from Jones County and cooked by the best 
cooks to be found. 

There was the rich planter with a fine carriage, then came the 
more moderate farmer with a nice buggy and team, then the 
poorer ones in ox carts and wagons and some on foot. Young 
men and their girl friends rode horseback. They came until the 
woods around the church was alive with horses and mules. 

The singing was indulged in by all from the deep bass voice 
of Brother Ben to the high shrill voice of Sister Jolly. Uncle 
Jimmie Stewart of Jasper County was the preacher in charge, 
elders were Hitchcock of Putnam Co., John Fields of Bibb, Dick 
Bassett of Houston, William Denning of Jones. There were 
others I can't recall. 


498 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Some there as I recall were, James Finney, Hearndon Patter¬ 
son, R. J. Turner, Taylor Morris, the Godards, Middlebrooks, 
Johnsons, Capt. and Mrs. Jolly, Browns. 

Sam Johnson had been wounded in the elbow at Chancellors- 
ville, hoping to save the arm, the blood vessels had been taken 
up and tied, and he came to church with his arm in a sling. As 
Sam jumped from the buggy to the ground, the jar broke loose 
the tied blood vessels in his arm and he nearly bled to death 
before they could get him home, and did die two days later. He 
was the son of F. S. Johnson, Sr. and the brother of Frank and 
Dick Johnson. 

Old Si Brown, a slave was a member, and belonged to Robert 
Brown of Fortville. Brown gave Old Si to his daughter Mrs. Cox. 
Old Si was a faithful member, loved and respected by all, was 
always in his seat when services opened. After slaves were freed, 
he still was the same, he was faithful to the end. Captain and 
Mrs. Jolly lived nearby, their son William was killed in the Civil 
War and they had a hard lot in their old age, there was no one 
to help, help was gone, they sat desolate mourning the loss of 
their boys and had lost all of their property. I am sure if there 
is ever a general meeting of Pine Ridge members in heaven that 
Captain and Mrs. Jolly will be there and sing sweeter and praise 
God with more zeal than anyone else. 

BROOKS BARROOM 
By S. H. Griswold 

Ten years previous to the War Between the States there stood 
a house, a small grocery and barroom where the road leading 
by Pine Ridge intersects the old Garrison road near the Baldwin 
county line. Brooks lived here and there met the gamblers, the 
horse racers and sportsmen and some high rolling times were 
had. A sandy race track was nearby, a quarter mile in length 
where many races were run. Shooting matches for beef, turkey 
and other things were held. It might be a rifle one time, a pistol 
the next. The target was a clean white board with some oil and 
gun powder the size of a half dollar rubbed on the board, a cross 
mark through the center of the bull’s-eye. For a rifle the target 
was a hundred yards off. Maybe the shoot was off handed, again 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


499 


it would be a rest shot. The rifles were long and heavy and most 
of them had been changed from flint and steel to a percussion 
cap fire. Each owner of a rifle had a pair of molds and molded 
his own bullets, these he carried with rags, a small measure for 
a load of powder made from a bone fastened by a string. The 
powder was carried in a cow’s horn, which had been scraped and 
ornamented with a small disc neatly fitted into the large end. 
When loading, a measure of powder was made in the bone, 
poured down the barrel, and then a piece of rag was greased, 
laid on top of the barrel and a bullet put on the cloth and 
rammed down into it, level, with a long ramrod, made of the 
toughest hickory. This was carefully packed tight against the 
powder. On these long barrels were two sights, one silver and 
the other a very fine notch near the muzzle. These were accu¬ 
rately adjusted and when a sight was properly drawn, one would 
surely hit the target. 

A judge appointed for occasion would examine the target 
after each shot and a peg put in it. There were such good shots 
that often the center was pierced more than once. A tie had to 
be shot off. These often lasted all day, the crowds drinking peach 
brandy, playing cards, drinking corn whiskey and sometimes 
would get rowdy. General Jackson lived nearby and usually rode 
in the horse races. Chicken fighting was also one of the amuse¬ 
ments. To the law abiding citizens, the place was an abomina¬ 
tion. 

Mrs. Col. Blount later bought these lands. Billy Whitley lived 
at Whitley Branch, where the roads forked, one going by Salem 
Church the other by the Lee Duncan place and Brook’s Grocery. 

UNCLE BUTCH GRESHAM AND CHICKEN 
FIGHTING 

By S. H. Griswold—1908—Jones Co. News 

Uncle Butch Gresham lived in the Caney Creek section. He 
raised fine game chickens, and fought them in the sport of that 
day. He knew how and was an expert at heeling, trimming, 
training and ordering the cocks. He had gaves made to suit, and 
had no equal in putting them on, and his services were in great 
demand when a main was fought. 


500 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


He was a tall large-framed man with a long flowing beard as 
white as snow, his keen blue eyes sparkled with wit, he was cool, 
collected and brave. He was well liked, and most hospitable. 

In those days chicken fighting was a great sport and not 
against the law. Mains or fights were frequently held at Clinton. 
Usually twenty-five cocks were entered by those who raised the 
birds in Jasper, Jones and Bibb counties. These birds were 
matched in weight and the “shake bag” was when the two big¬ 
gest and finest cocks were matched to fight. There were many 
different breeds in Jones, the shaw neck, the domineck, blues, 
reds and Irish games. Bibb county usually fought shawl necks. 
The birds were brought to Clinton a week before and put 
through training. 

This was carefully looked after by experts. The feed was just 
right for the cocks, his comb was trimmed, spurs and feathers 
trimmed and polished and exercised twice daily. The muscles 
were hard and firm and the cocks in good fighting order when 
the day came. Uncle Butch Gresham handled the Jones County 
birds. Each bird was matched with the other as to weight, 
armed with steel gaffs and they looked like little warriors. 

A ring was made by stretching a rope around, and the en¬ 
thusiastic crowd with many bets on their cocks stood back and 
now the judges took their seats and the heelers stepped into the 
ring with their birds in their hands. These birds came in crow¬ 
ing and trying to get at one another. As the judge gave the 
signal the birds were released, they straightened up gave a loud 
crow and made for the other. Sometimes at the first lick one 
would stick the steel spur in the other and kill him, but usually 
they fought longer. The one who killed the other cock would 
strut and crow as proud as could be. As time was called the 
heelers would take these birds out and enter others. 

These fights lasted two and three days with much betting and 
excitement (usually the men would fight too). There were the 
fashionable sporting men from the city, the gentlemanly planter, 
the plainer dressed farmer and then a few motley ones gathered 
about, the loafer and the bum. Uncle Butch and Dr. Griggs from 
Macon were asked their advice on bets and they were sought 
after day and night.

I never heard anything against Uncle Butch Gresham. His 
son was a Baptist preacher, a man of influence in his community. 

ORRIE TUFTS AND OTHER OLD CITIZENS 
By S. H. Griswold—Jones Co. News—1909 

Captain Orrie Tufts moved to Virginia several years after 
the war, he was a noteworthy citizen and his father a wealthy 
planter owning large plantations around Blountsville. He had 
a large white two-story dwelling built at the cross of the Hills¬ 
boro, Milledgeville and the Clinton and Eatonton roads. He 
grew lots of cotton, corn, cattle and vegetables and it is said 
that Mrs. Tufts was a wonderful cook and housekeeper. They 
were most hospitable and it is said Mr. Tufts told that a turkey 
was such an inconvenient bird that it was too much for one per¬ 
son and not enough for two. He kept large flocks of turkeys, 
and it was the job of one slave to follow these turkeys all day 
and bring them in at night. He was one of the best citizens of 
Middle Georgia and died several years before the war leaving a 
widow and several children among them, Mrs. McCullough, 
Mrs. Wilson, Miss Lou Tufts, Sanford, Frank and Orrie Tufts. 
Mrs. McCullough’s husband was Judge McCullough who was 
once a Representative for Jones County, and once a Judge 
of the court. Mrs. Wilson and Miss Lou live in South Carolina. 
Sanford married a daughter of Dr. Little a neighbor and a 
doctor of prominence. Frank lives in Atlanta and Orrie just died. 

After Mr. Tufts died Mrs. Tufts bought a place at Midway 
near Oglethorpe College so as to educate her children. She 
boarded young men at the college and used the produce from 
her own farm, and she was noted for her good food. Orrie Tufts 
was still in Oglethorpe when the war started and the school 
was forced to shut down, and Orrie raised and commanded a 
company of Cavalrymen in Col. Jim Blount’s battalion and was 
at Macon when Wilson surrendered there. After the war Orrie 
came to the farm at Blountsville and on a big scale tried to grow 
cotton and repair the family fortune but with the labor gone, he 
made a failure, and lost some of his land. After his mother’s 
death he and sister Lou lived at the old home for several years, 


502 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


then he sold it, moved to Virginia and married, near Norfolk, 
Va. and made a success of his farm there. 

The Tufts were an old and influential family in the county, 
most of the Tufts were blonds. Judge Hiram Warner taught 
school at Blountsville and boarded with the Tufts. 

The Freemans lived down the road from Tufts and were 
good farmers, had fine plantations in North Georgia but they 
were Jones County stock. Sons Ben and Frank Freeman lived 
there after the war. The Leuico Moores lived nearby also. 

Mr. Farrar was a resident of this section. Mr. John Farrar 
owns his old place. Once Mr. Farrar moved to North Georgia 
but soon after the war he came back to Jones and bought the 
Lamar place from Charley and Jim Andrews, who had bought 
it from the estate of Mrs. Penina Griswold on the Baldwin Co. 
line. 

Mrs. Griswold sold this strip on the line to Col. Mark John¬ 
son, where his widowed daughter Mrs. Whaley and two children 
lived. Mr. Speights married his granddaughter and now lives in 
the house. This land originally belonged to Lamar who had a 
large two-story red house built almost on the county line. There 
was another Lamar on the place near this which now belongs 
to Col. Blount. They were related. 

Robert T. Christian lived in Clinton a long time and was a 
prominent citizen, he moved to Macon, then to Albany, and then 
to Americus. His wife was a daughter of Taylor Gibson, a citi¬ 
zen of Jones County who had moved to Crawford County. She 
was a half sister of J. R. Chiles. Bob Christian had many friends 
in Jones County and they regret to know of his death in Amer¬ 
icus. 

OLD CITIZENS—JACKSON 
By S. H. Griswold 

Back in the early 1850’s there was a place on the Garrison 
road on the line between Jones and Baldwin for the stage¬ 
coaches to stop and change horses. Ran Jackson lived there and 
groomed the horses, and at one time carried the mail. He was 
quite a character, was full of fun and wit and loved whiskey. 

While he was living here the Senior class from Oglethorpe 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 50£ 

University, situated at Midway, Baldwin County and twelve 
miles from this spring, left the school in a body one night mak¬ 
ing their way on foot to Macon, they having done some mischief 
which the Baldwin Grand Jury had decided was malicious and 
had found a true bill against them. So late at night, down the 
Garrison road they came, whooping, yelling, howling and shoot¬ 
ing pistols, like a bunch of Comanche Indians. As they neared 
Ran Jackson’s house, the noise awakened the Jacksons. They 
were so afraid that they knelt by the bed to pray, their hair 
almost on end, teeth chattering and shaking with fear. The boys 
rushed in and one offered Ran a bottle of whiskey which he 
obligingly drank. They kept giving Ran drinks and eating what 
the Jackson’s had in the house. Ran said, “You boys ain’t no 
common stock, you’re some of those Damned Calhouns from 
South Carolina and Varnadoes from Liberty County, look at 
these damned big watch chains and broadcloth clothes, wife, 
give them the best that we have.” 

The boys soon found out that Ran had a horse and wagon, 
so they bargained with him to hitch it up and carry them to 
Macon. They paid Mrs. Jackson for the meal, and all that could 
piled on the wagon, with Ran driving. By this time he was 
as happy as a kitten and as mellow as could be. They would take 
turns riding, on down the road by Capt. Cox’s house, Taylor 
Pitts, Squire Choates, Joe Patterson, Peyton Pitts, Slocumb, 
the Crossroads, Bill Roberts, Joe Stiles at Cross Keys. This 
was the merriest and most unique crowd ever seen in Georgia, 
such singing, laughing, shouting and shooting was never heard 
before in that quiet section. 

On they slowly went making the welkin ring, and joining in 
would be the bass voice of Ran Jackson. As he passed the neigh¬ 
bors’ houses he would shout out witticisms, puns, and jokes. At 
Cross Keys they bought more whiskey about dawn, went on to 
Walnut Creek bridge, and just as they crossed it one boy leveled 
his pistol at the old horse and shot him dead. They all got out 
and went through East Macon yelling and charging. They went 
to the livery stable and bought Jackson a good horse, gave it 
to him and paid him liberally for his trouble. I wish I could tell 
this as old Jackson did. It was a frolic for him.

HISTORY^ UF JONES COUNTY 


Col. Hamilton and Gibson carried their race horses to San- 
dersville to be exhibited and Jackson went too. He really knew 
how to groom a horse for a show. They stayed at the Gilmore 
house. There was Hon. Alex Stephens, Congressman, of his con¬ 
stituents, for this Fair. Henry Greaves kept store for Col. Clow- 
er and young Frank Greaves and I loved to hear Ran Jackson 
tell of that trip to Sandersville, and his impressions of Alex 
Stephens. 


OLD TIME CITIZENS 

Zachariah Thigpen was called “Dad,” by all who knew him, 
and was one of the old settlers in Clinton. He came from Fay¬ 
etteville, N. C. He was very tall, thin and Scotch, as one would 
know because of his firmness, thriftiness, and had a good knowl¬ 
edge of history. His wife was kind and soft as he was hard, she 
was well educated, refined and brilliant. Their children were, 
Jane, Carrie, Sandy, Will and Gilbert. 

Carrie married Mr. Houser of Fort Valley, Ordinary of 
Houston County, at that time. Sandy became one of the ablest 
ministers in the North Georgia Conference. Will became Su¬ 
perintendent of schools in Savannah. Gilbert was a lawyer and 
practiced in Clinton and lived here most of his life, Jane was a 
teacher and poet. 

“Dad” Thigpen was a good neighbor, always did his part but 
when once he made up his mind he was as immovable as the 
Rock of Gibralter. When Judge Hardeman was a practicing 
attorney, Dad Thigpen was a Justice of the Peace. It happened 
one day that he was trying a case where two were at outs and 
when they got in a fight he charged them one hundred dollars 
for contempt. They produced a law showing him that he could 
only charge ten dollars, he was so indignant that he said, “This 
court adjourns without a day and the Justice resigns. I’ll be 
damned if I hold any office that will not allow me to sustain its 
dignity, and walked out of the courthouse. He was elected Tax 
Receiver of the county later on and made the best one ever, he 
got the people to value their property for more and put the 
office in good shape.

Boiler Allen was another old citizen of Clinton, Rev. Jack 
Knight was a tailor, blasphemer and an infidel. He went to a 
protracted meeting and became converted, a shouting Methodist, 
and began preaching and remained faithful until he died. I lived 
at the old Hutchings place at Fortville and when he preached 
there, he was my guest, and he could preach and pray as if he 
were talking with God. His people lived in Putnam County near 
Dennis Station.

James, the Moores and Ethridges. There was Billy Denning a 
Baptist preacher, Jerry Lowe, Harry Sketo, Thomas Stewart 
and Henry Roberts, all of these well known and prominent in 
that part. William Johnson and Squire Burden a Justice of Peace 
and a good man, noted for his justice and kindness. Burden is 
the father of Dick Burden in Macon and William Burden of 
New York. 

William Wood was a man of untiring energy and successful 
in his work. His son was Jernigan Wood and his descendants are 
well known in the county. The Slocumbs and Farleys were men 
of good standing and lived here. Miles Kelly lived near William 
Roberts and when I knew him was very old, and a true Chris¬

now is and one of the county’s foremost men. He had one of the 
first fruit orchards in the county, commercially. 

Buford Stallowrth and Ben Bryant both able men and good 
citizens. Thomas Woolfolk lived where John Smith lived. He 
was a wealthy man and moved to Macon on Fort Hill, his sons 
Thomas and James afterwards lived there. Of this same neigh¬

He lived on the Garrison road and another article tells more 
of his life.

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


THE COTTON GIN 
By S. H. Griswold 
Jones County News, April 2, 1908 

Georgia’s history, so far as her statesmen, professional and 
literary men have helped to make it has been written in their 
biographies, but so far as her history as made by her captains 
of industry, and material developers is concerned, there has been 
but little record so far as I have seen. Hence I take the liberty 
to write of one of these. A citizen of Jones county who by his 
energy and keen business foresight did as much towards develop¬ 
ing the material resources of not only the State of Georgia, but 
the whole South, as did any one man. This was Samuel Griswold, 
born and reared in Connecticut, he came to Clinton, Jones Coun¬ 
ty, Ga. when comparatively a young man, about the year 1820 
and engaged in merchandise at that place for a few years, when 
he was ruined by having to pay security debts. He then went to 
making cotton gins. 

About this time Mr. Blount, a wealthy planter, father of the 
late D. E. and James H. Blount, bought a cotton gin and put it 
to work on his place near Clinton, Ga. Mr. Griswold saw this 
gin and at once recognized the wonderful possibilities of it for 
the South and decided at once to make it his business to manu¬ 
facture them. He rented a small blacksmith shop from Mr. Clow- 
er in Clinton known as the “Old Red Shop.” It had no power of 
any kind attached to it, and was equipped with only such tools as 
were found in the blacksmith and wood working shops of that 
time. Here with his own hands, assisted by his oldest son, a lad 
in his teens, in delicate health, without capital, he set to work 
to make gins and laid the foundation for the first shops to make 
gins alone upon a large scale and from which directly most of 
the gin manufacturers of later date, sprang. 

Mr. D. E. Blount has often told the writer, of his having to 
unlock the gin house for Mr. Griswold to examine the gin which 
his father had bought, I think this was the first gin brought to 
Jones County. 

A history of the cotton gin to date is necessary here. Mr. 
Hammock of Crawfordville, Ga., a very reliable and honorable 
men, who lived at the time these things took place, and who 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


507 


made gins in a small way all his life, told the writer that when 
the news of Whitney’s invention reached the up country that one 
Lyons, a blacksmith by trade and an all round ingenious work¬ 
man, at or near Wilkes County, Ga., was sent by a planter or 
planters to Liberty County to see this gin in order to make one 
for him or them. Upon his arrival at Whitney’s shop he having 
dressed in women clothes was allowed to see the model, as wom¬ 
en only were given access to it, and when he returned home he 
made a gin for his patrons, and possibly made others, which 
other workmen of the same character in other communities see¬ 
ing they also made one or more, thus distributing a few through 
Middle Georgia. It was from one of these shops that Mr. Blount 
bought the gin which Mr. Griswold saw and from which he 
began business. 

He first had to make tools and patterns for cutting and shap¬ 
ing the different parts of a gin, these he made by hand as well 
as the saws, rigs and all other parts of the gin. He filed the teeth 
on the saws, made the ribs out of bar iron, used those days to 
make horseshoe nails, and shaped them on an iron pattern which 
he made for the purpose. This first gin he carried by wagon 
himself to his customer and put it up in a successful operation. 
The record is lost and I do not know the first customer. 

Being much encouraged by the success of this, his first effort, 
he worked on faithfully, gradually increasing his output until he 
had so built himself up as to be able to buy lands in Clinton and 
to build a large shop for those times and to put in the first steam 
engine ever brought to Jones County, as well as many improved 
iron, and wood working machines, which was a considerable un¬ 
dertaking, as there was no railroad to bring them on, and they 
had to be handled by teams. With this well-equipped shop, bus¬ 
iness prospered wonderfully and he bought slaves and employed 
many hands. About this time he brought from Connecticut the 
celebrated mechanics, the Brown family, Dwight and Israel, 
being the most expert in the gin business. Here Dwight Brown 
invented and made for Griswold machinery for punching, round¬ 
ing and cutting saws and cutting teeth on them and for filing the 
teeth. The steel for making saws was purchased from Naylor in 
England and came in sheets nine or ten inches wide and four or 


508 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


five inches wide and four or five inches in length. These improve¬ 
ments enabled Mr. Griswold to turn out many gins for which he 
found ready sale by sending his agents through the country. He 
delivered these gins by wagons in the States of Georgia and 
the Carolinas. Old citizens recollect well Griswold’s long gin 
wagons with six large mules delivering his gins, the wagons he 
used were known as the Concord, made in Concord, N. H., by 
the Abbot Downing Co., and have never been excelled, if 
equalled, for their durability and workmanship, and Mr. Gris¬ 
wold used only Concord vehicles as long as he lived. The 
lumber used for making the frames, etc. for his gins was sawed 
by him from long leaf pine in the lower part of Jones County 
some twelve miles from Clinton, he had bought pine lands for 
his timber and had built a sawmill situated upon the head waters 
of Swift Creek, the old dam still stands on the Central Railroad 
six miles from Macon. This was quite a primitive mill with 
sash-saw with an up and down motion, a slow feed, but got there 
after a while. He hauled this lumber to his shop in Clinton. He 
now employed many hands and fed many mules, etc. all of which 
had to get their supplies from the surrounding farms, there being 
no railroads, and thus made a market for the farmers, and trade 
for the merchants of the town. 

The money system of the whole country was mostly local bank 
currency and a great panic carried away many of these local 
banks. Mr. Griswold’s business extending over much country, 
he necessarily had much of this money and paper based upon it 
and was ruined by it. He thought to recuperate his fortune by 
seeking for gold in East Alabama, but it proved a failure, and 
he returned to Clinton and again started his gin-shop, and the 
financial situation of the country cleared, he again prospered in 
the gin business. Daniel Pratt was a young carpenter from New 
Hampshire, living at Fortville, Jones County. Mr. Griswold 
recognized the excellence of his work as demonstrated in houses 
which he had built for General Gordon. Col. Moughon and 
others employed him to work on gins and soon made him fore¬ 
man and then gave him an interest in the business and from here 
he went to Prattville, Ala., and established the well-known 
Pratt gin business. The first gins were made at Clinton loaded 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


509 


in wagons, knocked down and put together by Mr. Pratt after 
their arrival at Pratt’s shop in Alabama. Mr. Griswold was a 
co-partner in the first gins, but after the wagons left he decided 
to and did sell out his interest to Mr. Pratt. 

Mr. G riswold had bought a large part of Jones County for 
his timber supply, the Central railroad was protected through 
his lands, and he took a contract and built a part of the road¬ 
bed and upon its completion he moved his shop from Clinton to 
the railroad and into his timber yard, about 1839 to 1840. 

His dwelling house he completed in 1852. His house, like 
everything Mr. Griswold did, was one of the best built and ar¬ 
ranged houses in the State and stood in a perfect state of preser¬ 
vation until destroyed by fire last year. He called his new place 
Griswoldville. Here he built a large shop, supplied it with all the 
latest improved machinery of that time, a steam sawmill, a 
foundry and a large merchant grist mill. He made every part of 
his gins from the raw material, doing his own casting in his 
foundry, sawing his own lumber at his sawmill making his gin- 
saws from sheet steel imported from the Naylor’s in England. 
Here his business grew and prospered until in was the largest 
manufacturing business in the state owned by one individual. 
Sales of gins mounting to from 909 to 1,200 a year and was 
the leading gin of the country. He also built a handsome church 
at his own expense and many nice and comfortable houses for 
his employees and slaves. 

He was a progressive man far ahead of his time. He built 
waterworks by boring holes through pine logs 12 feet in length 
putting them together under ground carrying water from his 
sawmill to his shop, to the railroad track, his flower and vege¬ 
table gardens, laundry and barn. He had all the roads leading to 
his place worked at his own expense for a distance of three miles, 
and good roads they were. He bought much meat, corn, fodder, 
etc., from the surrounding farmers and had the best grist mill 
in the state, which was a great convenience to a large section of 
country. He contributed liberally to all enterprises. He gave 
$500.00 to Wesleyan Female College when his means were lim¬ 
ited. By his recognition of the possibilities of the cotton gin as 
a developer of the South, by his perseverance and energy in 


510 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


making it possible for the planters to get them, he did as much 
as any one man to promote the development of the South, Israel 
and Dwight Brown went from his place to Columbus, Ga. and 
built the Brown Gin, which Israel moved to New London, Conn, 
after the Civil War, and from which the Lummus gin springs. 
Daniel Pratt went from this shop to Prattville, Ala., and estab¬ 
lished the Pratt gin—Mr. Winship went from Clinton, after 
seeing Mr. Griswold’s success, to Morgan County, Ga., and 
established the Winship gin, which he afterwards moved to At¬ 
lanta. O. W. Massey had been reared in Mr. Griswold’s shop, 
and moved down near Macon and established the Massey gin. 

The Carvers of East Bridgewater, Mass., had long been con¬ 
nected with Mr. Griswold in the gin business. Mr. Griswold was 
liberal to his employees, and to a faithful and meritorious one 
he always clung, and many of these owe their success in after 
life to his training, advice and help. 

When the war came the gin business ceased. Mr. Griswold 
had been making gins for nearly thirty years. In that time he had 
commenced from nothing, and by sheer industry and business 
sense had built a village with shops, foundry, etc., and a business 
that paid him forty thousand dollars profit in 1860. After this 
he turned his shop into an armory making arms for the State 
first, and the Confederacy afterwards. He made several thou¬ 
sand pikes for Governor Brown and they were burned by Sher¬ 
man’s army at Milledgeville in 1864. He made an almost perfect 
Colt’s revolver for the Confederate Government, and with block¬ 
ed ports and no resources, except the South’s this was a great 
undertaking. Everything from the most delicate screw, spring 
and rifle barrel, as well as the tools, files, etc., with which they 
were made, was made at his shop. Steel was hard to get and 
most of the supplies were gotten from old vehicle springs in the 
country around. Kilpatrick’s cavalry burned his shops, barn, 
church, etc., and destroyed more than a quarter of a million 
dollars worth of property for him. When he saw the destruction 
and ruin of his life’s work, he said, “It is gone, all gone, but they 
did it mighty well.” (Being thoroughgoing himself he could ap¬ 
preciate it in others). “But if I could call back ten years, I 
would soon make it all back, but I am too old and feeble.”

Having lost his only living son, Giles Griswold during the war, 
with nothing left him but his lands, he decided to sell that and 
did sell it to A. L. Maxwell. He assisted his son-in-law F. S. 
Johnson, and Mr. O. W. Massey to establish a gin business at 
the latter’s place near Macon, which was quite a prosperous 
business until the death of Mr. Massey who had bought out 
Mr. Johnson’s interest. 

The following will illustrate Mr. Griswold’s good business 
judgment: 

About 1849, he, his son, E. C. Griswold, and Mr. Amos 
Smith, then superintendent of Pratt shop, leased for three years 
Prattville, and his son moved to the latter place and took charge. 
Shortly after this one, Parkhurst gin, which was thought would 
supplant the saw. Parkhurst brought his gin to Griswoldville to 
sell his right to Mr. Griswold. After putting it up and testing it, 
Mr. Parkhurst then carried it to Prattville and offered it to Mr. 
Pratt who although a very level-headed and practical man, after 
trying it, decided it a success, and bought the patent at a good 
round sum in spite of the warning of Mr. Griswold, who wound 
up by saying: “If you and Pratt have decided to buy the Park¬ 
hurst gin, you can do so, but understand that S. Griswold & Co. 
will have nothing to do with it. I have tried it and it will not do.” 
The gin proved a failure. 

Mr. Griswold died in September 1867, and was buried at the 
cemetery at Clinton, Ga. The tall smokestacks where his gin 
shop and sawmill stood is all that remains of his once progres¬ 
sive business. They are monuments to Sherman’s march through 
Georgia. 

THE OLD WAy OF GINNING 
By S. H. Griswold 
Jones County News, June 10, 1909 

What a change in the methods of ginning and packing cotton 
under the old slave system! There was a gin house and screw on 
every plantation. The gin house was built up on large posts 
some 10 feet from the ground and great logs squared for sills 
and sleepers had to be used to sustain the weight of the seed 
cotton stored therein, and to prevent sagging on the running 


512 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


gear, which was placed under them, by which the gin was driven. 
Gins of 35-40-50 and even 60 saws were used. 

Harper Ingram, an exceptional planter on Little River in 
Putnam and Baldwin counties had Sam Griswold to make for 
him a gin with 105 saws. He having heard that 100 saws was 
the largest gin in use, wanted one larger. This gin was burned by 
Sherman’s army. By far more 40 saw gins were used then than 
any other size. 

The gin was placed on the floor of the gin house, its flue ran 
into a room called the lint room situated back of the house and 
usually a shed room—the floor being nearer the ground, which 
gave a considerable drop to the lint, which was blown into it 
by the gin brush. A door was in the rear of this room from which 
the lint cotton was taken to the screw which stood near it. A 
seed room was near the lint room in which the planting seed was 
usually run out into a seed pen, where they went through a heat, 
destroying their vitality and was used for fertilizing crops. Under 
the gin house proper, was the running gear which drove the gin. 
This gearing was usually made of wood: first was let into the 
ground a large solid block, with a piece of hardened iron sticking 
out of it for a pivot, the upper end of the king post had an iron 
pinion driven securely into it and this pinion entered into a large 
sleeper, a strong iron band was shrunk around the post at each 
end. This king post was made sometimes round, sometimes hex¬ 
agon and from the best post of white oak or heart pine that 
could be had. Some were 8 to 10 feet long, and 14 to 16 inches 
in diameter. Large square holes were morticed through it so 
as to make at least 8 arms (requiring four pieces), these were 
4 by 12 and reached out far enough to make a circle of 9 to 10 
feet; braces reached from und^r their ends to a notch in the 
lower part of the king post, upon these arms was placed solid 
heart pieces of oak or pine 4 by 12 and doubled so as to break 
joints, and bolted securely to the arms; two inch square holes 
were made in these pieces which made the circle of the king 
wheel, and into these holes was placed wooden cogs, which were 
made of the best seasoned dogwood, persimmon or hickory. 
These cogs were w r ell and carefully made and the hole into which 
they went were laid off with the utmost care and precision. The 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


513 


band shaft was made of some hard wood usually about 8 or 10 
inches in diameter with a band wheel from 9 to 10 ft in diameter 
with 8-inch face through and building its rim on to them. On 
one end of this shaft was a trundle-head, made of hard wood, 
heads 12 or more inches in diameter, with rounds 2 or 3 inches 
in diameter, made of dogwood thoroughly seasoned, securely 
banded and fastened into the heads. This also was a very par¬ 
ticular job, as their distance apart had to correspond with that 
of the cogs on the king wheel. This shaft had pinions in each end, 
which run in boxes on stirups, made for the purpose, suspended 
from the sleepers, and was set at right angles to the king wheel 
so as to bring the trundle head immediately over the cogs in 
the king wheel. The band wheel extended at least 1-4 of its 
diameter up into the gin house—the lower part just missing the 
levers, which were through the post and to which the mules (two 
at each end) were hitched, with a guide pole which led them 
around in a circle. Two boys usually ran on these levers and 
drove the mules. It was great fun to the boys. 

The gin was opposite the band wheel and an S. inch belt 
generally ran them. An elderly negro man usually stood in front 
of the gin and fed the cotton into the box. This man had charge 
of the gin house and hands while ginning. A boy or an old negro 
man filled up baskets with cotton and handed them to the ginner, 
who spread it on the top of the gin and gradually fed it into the 
roll boxes. Occasionally the mules would get lazy and the driver 
sleepy, and consequently the gin saws ran slow. Then, “Drive 
up! drive up!” yelled the ginner, and such a popping of whips 
and yells of “get up” came from the boy drivers, and the mules 
would go in a hurry, and make the gin-brush fly and sing. Then 
there would be a breaking of the roll in the roll box, and thump, 
thump, would go the breast as it was shaken up and down to 
again start the roll. The brush whipped the lint from the saws 
and blew it in great white flakes into the lint room, and as the 
room filled with it, it became necessary to stop and send the 
boys into the room to pack it down. Two bales of cotton a day 
was the usual output from a 40 saw gin. Cotton was usually dry 
before being fed to the gin. A large platform at the gin-house 


514 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


was used to dry all cotton which had been picked with the dew 
on it, or which had gotten wet. 

The lint room held two or more days’ ginning, and when full 
the hands were stopped from the fields early in the morning and 
the lint cotton was packed out into bales by a large wooden 
screw. This was a tremendous thing. It was 20 feet long, 12 to 
16 feet in diameter with threads 6 inches deep and 6 inches wide 
cut around it. This pin was made from a post of white oak, or 
heavy pine, and was a perfect piece of timber, made very round 
and smooth—being made with the utmost care. It ran on great 
wooden taps 16 inches square and supported by great posts 12 
to 16 feet, which stood on their ends, making an immense frame 
some 20 feet high, which was held together by braces and a 
cross-sill at the bottom. On this sill was the bottom with pieces 
across it leaving a space through which the ropes passed. In this 
frame was built a cotton box—the lower part of which was 
doors, both at ends and sides. A follow block was fastened to 
the lower end of the pin, which was turned to one side, while 
the box below it was being filled with cotton, two men got into 
the box and tramped the loose cotton as it was put in. Steps led 
from the ground to the top of the box, up which the cotton was 
carried in large baskets. When the box had been tramped full 
the follow block was turned straight with it, and a piece of bag¬ 
ging was put over and under the cotton and the screw was 
started down. At the top of the screw-pin was an immense cross 
beam, through the ends of which came two long levers, one on 
each side, their ends meeting above the beam and securely fas¬ 
tened together—the other being near the ground, and looked 
like an immense pair of compasses. These levers were some 30 
or 40 feet long, and stood at the upper end above the pin some 
distance from the ground. They were from 8 to 10 inches square 
at the ground the end tapered gradually to 12 inches above the 
screw. These levers turned the screw pin, and when started down 
upon a bale of cotton would run within a few rounds of being 
down by their own weight. Then a mule was hitched to the end 
of the lever and pulled it around three or four times and made a 
tight bale of cotton. The doors of the cotton box were then let 
down and the bagging pulled up at the sides and ends, the latter 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


515 


being sewed up with twine. Ropes were put around the bale, 
drawn tight and tied in knots by means of a lever and a windlass. 
Five or six ropes were generally put on a bale. The mules were 
then turned around and started, and up, up, up, went the screw- 
pin and follow box above the cotton box. As it went around and 
around on a cold frosty morning you could hear it shriek and 
groan all over the neighborhood, and we knew when neighbor 
so and so was packing cotton. As I stated before, these levers 
came together at the top above the screw some 30 or 40 feet 
from the ground and spread out through the ends of the cross 
beam and came almost to the ground when the screw was down 
on a bale of cotton. When the pin was run up for filling the box 
these ends were 10 feet or more above the ground. These levers 
made an immense circle and gave a powerful leverage. Usually 
a shelter was put up, and a small roof framed above the top of 
the two levers where they met, and this roof or cap went around 
with and ascended and descended with the screw. 

Mr. Fred Dukes, who was well known in Jasper and Jones 
Counties, was an expert builder of these presses, and he super¬ 
intended every part of it, selecting the timber, drying it and 
every detail to its finish. He did most of the work himself. While 
it took him nearly a year to make one, they were well made and 
lasted for years. What an undertaking it was to build a set of 
gear, screw and house, everything being done by hand without 
machinery! 

MORE WAR HISTORY 
By S. H. Griswold—Jones Co. News—June 24, 1909 

Early in 1862 the Confederate Government made a call on 
the State of Georgia for soldiers, and Gov. Brown called on 
Jones County for her quota, and a draft was ordered to take 
place in case a sufficient number failed to qualify. Some of the 
leading men of the county went to work when this call came, and 
organized a company of volunteers. A meeting was called in 
the courthouse in Clinton, which was well attended and a suffi¬ 
cient number of men volunteered but for some reason dissatis¬ 
faction arose amng them and they adjourned without organiz¬ 
ing. Some wanted R. W. Bonner for Captain and some wanted 


516 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


a man from the country sections, Giles Griswold was put for¬ 
ward for their choice. Another day was set to meet for the 
organization to be completed. When they met again, Giles Gris¬ 
wold refused to run against Bonner, such pressure was put on 
him to stay at home and look after his large interests in the 
county and the large number of slaves, so he reluctantly took his 
name from the volunteers roll. At this meeting such enthusiasm 
was aroused, speeches were made from the judge’s stand, as each 
man’s name was called he came up and signed his name to the 
roll. Owens was the last name added to the roll as the first 125 
volunteers from Jones County were registered. Immediately 
William Whidby mounted his horse, “Stonewall,” and went in 
a gallop to Round Oak to notify the militia there for that dis¬ 
trict, as did others go to other districts. 

The Company organized by electing R. W. Bonner, Capt.; 
Harrison Barron, 1st Lieut.; James Woodall, 2nd Lieut.; Jesse 
Hunt, Orderly, Sergeant. Frank Johnson, though well liked, was 
beaten for 2nd Lieut, place by James Woodall. This Company 
was named the Gray Infantry in honor of James Madison 
Gray, and he furnished its equipment. I joined the Company and 
with Randolph Childs, Ara Cochran, John Moore and one or 
two others were the youngest members of the company, we were 
17 years old. We were all eager to go and afraid the war would 
end before we could get there. We were weighed, measured, etc. 
and Capt. Bonner said he wanted men who could shoot well. We 
were all mustered in by a state officer and took the regulation 
oath. All this was done at the old Day’s Schoolhouse, in front 
of the Methodist church in Clinton. Our uniforms were dark red 
or brown jeans, frock coats and brass buttons, as a sufficient 
quality of grey jeans could not be found in time and we had to 
use such as we could get. Old Taylor took our measurements and 
the ladies of Clinton sewed and made the clothes. In March we 
were ordered to Camp Stevens near Griffin, where we were with 
nine other companies, Baldwin, Butts, Bibb, Monroe, Crawford, 
Houston, Dooly and Taylor. We were put into a Regiment 
known as the 45th Georgia Regiment, Volunteers, Jones County 
was Co. F. Under State officers an election was held for its field 
officers, Thomas Hardeman of Bibb was elected Colonel, Thom- 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


517 


as J. Simmons of Crawford, Lt. Col., and Warren Grice of 
Taylor, Major. 

Then we drilled, stood guard, cleaned up camp and enjoyed 
ourselves. Capt. Rodgers of Ailey was a candidate for Lt. against 
Simmons and Neal Gibson who had just moved from Clinton to 
Crawford County, urged Jones Countains to vote for Simmons, 
we did, and elected him. Out of the 125 men from Jones I believe 
90 of them could play the fiddle and after supper, we would gath¬ 
er together, and play such tunes as “Caney Creek,” “Rocky Road 
to Milledgeville,” “Billy in the Low Grounds,” and others while 
men danced. Partners were taken for the cotillion, some tied a 
handkerchief on their arms for ladies and they bowed and danced 
as if real ladies were their partners. These “girls” acted the 
part of flirting, being demure, cunning and attractive, and much 
fun gave way to hilarity as the time passed. A fiddler from 
Monroe County, lean long and lanky used to sing “Cotton-Eyed 
Joe,” and being a natural comedian, kept the crowd laughing. 
Burrell Winans went with us from Clinton, he was the worst 
home-sick man I ever saw, although he was an old bachelor. He 
was Company commissary. One night he got drunk and called 
for water and his tent mate Ran Childs told him it was the duty 
of the Sergeant to bring him water. He waked the Captain yell¬ 
ing “Water, water,” and Sgt. Jess Hunt who wouldn’t budge. 
While he was gone, Ran Childs hid the bottle and Winnans 
never forgave him. After card playing, telling stories, playing 
jokes on one another, the day came to depart. We packed tents, 
guns and clothes and boarded twenty freight cars, sitting on 
planks put across kegs, we left Griffin for Macon in the after¬ 
noon, on down the Central to Millen and Augusta, where we 
changed cars with all the baggage to the South Carolina railroad 
—went by Branchville up to Kingsville, here we had to lay over 
and transfer to the Wilmington road. 

We passed through Sumpter, Marion, Florence and other 
towns until we got to Wilmington, N. C. as soon as we got out, 
we were so stiff with cold we made a fire, it seemed the ground 
was burning and we discovered that tar, turpentine and rosins 
had been made there for years. Here we transferred our bag¬ 
gage on a steam ferry boat and reloaded it on the Wilmington 


518 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


and Weldon road which carried us to Goldsboro about 70 miles 
away. All along the route from Griffin to Goldsboro we were 
greeted by crowds of men, women and children, with cheers. 
We replied with yells, cheers, and witticisms. At Sumter, S. C. 
the ladies had a fine dinner, hot and good waiting for us. They 
fed all of the passing troops without money or price. Green 
Tye was a tall strong man from Clinton, had a fine voice and 
led the singing, his favorite song being, “Go Long Liza Jane.” 
Despite the old freight cars and lack of comforts the boys had 
a good time going to war. Arriving at Goldsboro we received 
our equipment and new Enfield rifles which had lately run the 
blockade to Wilmington. Here we had a seige of measles, our 
first casualty was Hutchings. George Cox shot himself acci¬ 
dentally. After constant drilling for two weeks, cooking with the 
help of several Negro cooks, we were ready for action. 

REMINISCENES OF COMPANY F, 45TH 
GEORGIA REGIMENT 
By S. H. Griswold—July 8, 1909 (in part) 

Just before we left Goldsboro after training for two weeks 
the 2nd Ga. Battalion was sent there to be mustered out of 
service, their twelve months having expired. They had been 
at Norfolk, Va. and had drilled each day and were the best 
drilled troops in the state at this time. Col. Hardeman had been 
the Major commanding this battalion and he gave an exhibition 
drill before us, the public, Col. Holmes and his staff. We now 
had orders to go to Virginia. We marched to Goldsboro and 
were loaded on a train of flat cars. Co. A occupied the first car 
and ours the second one. As the train pulled out we gave a 
mighty shout. 

Mr. Clark belonged to Co. A but could not go with us be¬ 
cause of an accident to his hand. We were cheered at every 
station by people and the waving of flags, we got to Weldon 
in the night after crossing the Roanoke river, on to Petersburg 
and Richmond where we wearily unloaded andVwalked to Camp 
Winder, next day going to Guinneas 12 miles from Fredericks¬ 
burg, where we pitched camp. I was in a tent with Jack Brooks 
and Burrill Winnans. We got wheat straw about a mile away 



HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


519 


and made a bed in the corner of the tent. Next day we got a 
sheep from a farmer, Candler, and roasted it in a pit, and it 
was good. 

The enemy was about ten miles away, 30,000 under McLow- 
ell. We took up picket duty at a crossroads two miles up, Rube 
Jackson and I, while other men were posted on other roads, 
John Pitts was on duty with us. We didn’t have too much to do, 
until the Seven days fight around Richmond, at Hanover Junc¬ 
tion we were joined by Branches Brigade of North Carolina, we 
encountered McClellan’s army under John Potter. We did not 
see any action that day, then we were at old Slash Church where 
Henry Clay worshipped as a boy. I was left at the old church 
as others went on and had an encounter with Branche’s Brigade 
making a good fight, while we, with our wagons were going 
toward Asheland. Capt. George Turpin was a quartermaster in 
charge, R. N. Hardeman was his Sergeant, J. T. Brown was 
with us, as we plodded the muddy roads up hills and down, 
hearing the shots over us, seeing the wounded being carried by, 
saying that Branche’s Regiment was cut up and the 45th Ga. 
was being killed and captured, in a few weeks the 2nd Ga. Reg. 
joined us. Bob Turpin, Hardeman and I had charge of getting 
the provisions through, but one day the going was so rough and 
the enemy so close we, took out the mules and left the wagons 
stuck in the mud, and went on galloping toward Ashland knee 
deep in mud, a motley crowd, hungry, cold and tired. 

Dr. C. H. Hall our Co. surgeon came in and told us that our 
45th Ga. Reg. was not captured, and we were so relieved, they 
came in at dawn, cold, wet, tired and hungry. We made great 
fires to dry them, and cooked what he had, but they were 
disappointed that we had lost their clothes and bedding, and 
supplies. The next morning we went back but someone had 
taken off everything we left. The next day we marched across 
the Chickahominy river and inside of Lee’s lines on the day of 
the battle of Seven Pines. If Branch had not made such a de¬ 
termined stand we would have all been killed but the enemy 
thought there were more men than we had, so we did not get cut 
off from Richmond.

HC'W WE DID AT HOME DURING THE WAR 
By S. H. Griswold 

“I have meat enough for this year, fattening hogs enough for 
next year and shoats enough for the year after that, and the 
Lord knows what I will do then,” this was told on Mr. James 
Finney during war times, when it was necessary that all food¬ 
stuffs, breads and meats had to be raised at home. James Finney 
was an excellent farmer, citizen and always grew plenty food 
for his own people as well as to help feed the soldiers. He had 
enough wool and cotton to spin and weave for his own, as well 
as other uses. His good wife, Mrs. Julia Finney was a superior 
manager and always had the wool and cotton carded and spin¬ 
ning going on. They, as others had to use the old hand loom to 
weave the cloth, and everything was made by hand at home. 

The hides from the beef and mutton were carried to Mor¬ 
gan’s tan yard in Clinton and tanned into leather, from which 
they made shoes for the whites and negroes, as well as harness 
and leggins and many other things. 

Life was a busy affair from day dawn until dark. There were 
no oil or candles to be had so they used the tallow from the 
beef, poured into tin molds. Sometimes a long wick made of 
rags was waxed and wound around a bottle, and used as a sub¬ 
stitute for a candle. From the looms came the nicest, smoothest 
jeans for men’s clothes and the best checked or striped homespun 
dress cloth. The colors were obtained from native plants. 

The Finneys had smart daughters, I am calling this family by 
name to illustrate how the rest of the county did and lived in 
war times. The girls had homemade hats and shoes and home- 
spun dresses, but they were just as fresh and pretty as they could 
be. They made hairpin trimming for the collars and cuffs. 

Instead of bemoaning their fate when the Federal embargo 
cut off the silks, laces, feathers and furs, brocades and elegant 
clothes, they went to work cheerfully and made the best of it all. 

These girls were as busy as their mothers, whenever they sat 
for a minute their fingers were flying with the knitting needles 
for the soldiers,_, socks and gloves. 

There was no coffee, tea, sugar, or salt. Sorghum syrup was 
the only sweet, and parched wheat or corn was the coffee. Salt 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


521 


water was hauled from the coast and evaporated. They managed 
to patch up old wagons with scrap to keep them going. One- 
tenth of everything they grew went to the government as a tax 
to feed the armies. We had enough to eat even then, until Sher¬ 
man’s armies came through. 

The women had hard tasks during the war. They had to do 
the clothes, blankets and all domestic garments for their homes 
as well as the negroes on their plantations and then help their 
soldiers and those in distress. 

There was a sewing club in Clinton, where soldiers bandages, 
shirts and trousers and many other articles were made. A Mrs. 
Polly Stewart, (M.D.), mother of Jeff Stewart and others, Jab, 
Mrs. Park and Mrs. Greaves was the President and with other 
ladies of like ability they did a great job for home, and country. 
How the Confederacy lasted four years against the whole United 
States Government with plenty of supplies, and money, I will 
never understand. They worked their hearts out as their men 
also suffered hardships of all kinds. 

Ladies made their summer hats from palmetto and palm 
leaves and old trunks in the attic were searched for bits of ribbon 
and feathers, a flower, and the old wedding gowns and laces 
were carefully used over and over. They would use white oak 
splits for their whale-bone girdles and buttons made of gourd 
rinds, painted, or covered with cloth. Crochet needles were made 
from bones. 

They would still attend church on Sunday and provide for the 
preacher and his family. Paper was used to pad the family’s 
clothes for warmth, cardboard was used for shoe soles, and old 
clothes cut up for the children to wear. Confederate money had 
dropped in value and anything to buy was very high. One old 
diary mentions paying $50.00 for a pair of shoes. 

Fever, small pox, and pneumonia took a terrific toll. There 
was hardly a doctor to be found and there were no social gath¬ 
erings, during ’63 and ’64. There were so many children who 
would never see their fathers and each home had empty chairs 
for those who were missing. There was a feeling of uneasiness, 
and a fear of what might come any moment. Messages trickled 
through of the men dying at Manassas, Chancellorsville and 


522 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


around Richmond, where Jones County’s men were. There were 
many unmarked graves on this Virginia soil. There was no ink, 
very little paper, irregular mails, few newspapers and no sur¬ 
cease for nerves strained to the breaking point. 

A WAR SONG OF OLD 
By S. H. Griswold 

I enclose a paper which I found among some old letters. It 
is an attempt at poetry written by a cavalryman in Virginia in 
1863. It was sent to my wife during the war by one of her broth- 
. ers, T. W., Dick Brown or Tobe Bonner and of whom were 
members of the Governor’s horse guards of Milledgeville and 
served during the war in the Phillip Legion. Young’s Brigade 
and Hampton’s Cavalry were along the line of Baldwin and 
Jones and were well known to Jones countians. Box Cox and 
Jim Andrews were in this. Both the Brown boys were severely 
wounded and had furloughs but both returned to the army and 
with others were General Joe Johnston’s escort and were with 
him when he surrendered to Sherman. Jim Andrews was a bugler 
for the Phillips’ Legion. 

The Brown brothers went to Milledgeville after the war and 
Jim Andrews lives in Wallace dictrict. Tobe Bonner died a few 
years ago, he was a good soldier. Bob Cox had typhoid fever in 
Virginia, and Capt. Bob Barron was sent to bring him home, 
he was never able to go back. Barron told of the time he had 
bringing him home. Near Knoxville, Tenn. he had to carry him 
by ferry across a river from one train to another, and he had 
to lay on top of a casket all the way. 

Cox used to tell how he felt almost dead himself and riding 
on top of a soldier’s casket. Cox lived on the Garrison road in 
Wallace district for a long time. 

The author of this poem may not be much poet but he knew 
the life of the Confederate soldier, the hardships, rations, shel¬ 
ter, fighting and scouting. He also knew with what cheerful¬ 
ness they bore it all, joking about conditions almost beyond 
human endurance, and how they looked forward to coming home 
a victor and marrying their Dixie sweethearts.

Our trousaloons have big air holes, 

We’ve worn old hats upon our heads 
And in our pockets is nasty bread, 

Our shoes refuse to warm our toes, 

Our coats engaged in scaring crows, 

And both declare that they are done 
Except it is to make some fun 
We lodge with sprawls, without a tent, 

Yet full of fun and well content 

Now that the ground is covered with snow 

Straw beds are a foot too low, 

The beds are white, but have more ice, 
That makes one warm, snug and nice, 

Birds have their nests and foxes holes, 

But we’ll soon have to roost on poles. 

Our horses think of Dixie corn 

While they’re as hollow as a blowing horn. 

And when the Yankees we get after, 

We can’t fight for so much laughter. 
Should we be killed, or starved or frozen, 
It’s but the lot we have chosen. 

We’ll spill our blood and lose our flesh 
In the grand cause of old Secesh, 

When the war ends, if we are alive, 

We’ll eat and sleep and work and thrive 
And join in wedlocks happy bands, 

The sweetest girl in Dixieland.

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


BLOODSHED AND WAR TIMES 
By S. H. Griswold 

A peddler'kills young Choates, was tried and convicted. Be¬ 
tween Macon and Griswoldville on the Garrison road w T as Flat 
Shoals. Here Commissioner Creek crosses the road, the hills 
on each side steep and a bridge of more than a hundred feet 
spans the creek. There was a dam above the bridge and a deep 
race on the east side down to the mill and wool cards some 400 
yards below. The fall of the land so dropped as to give a good 
site for a mill. On one of these flat rocks half way up the east 
hill was Flat Shoals church, a very old Primitive Baptist church, 
even when I was a boy. Uncle Billy Denning preached there 
then. 

The mill stood on the east side below the bridge and there 
was a great overshot wheel twenty feet in diameter. The mill 
was two stories high and well built on the rock foundation. It 
had one set of rocks for grinding corn into meal and one set for 
grinding wheat into flour, in the upper story was the bolting 
cloth for separating bran from the shorts and flour. A few miles 
up the race was a woolen mill driven by an overshot wheel, one 
story high and contained sets of wool cards. These mills were 
burned by Sherman’s armies during the war. 

This property belonged to Squire Choates who lived on the 
hill going toward Macon. He was a man of wealth, a good man¬ 
ager, had considerable land. He had one son named Dick, two 
daughters, Mrs. P. T. Pitts, Jr., and Mrs. Richard Gibson. 

There was a Jew footpeddler, with a pack on his back who 
usually came by and often spent the night, as that was the cus¬ 
tom. He knew the family well. One night I was there and the 
Jew was there. He and Dick got to bargaining for a pistol the 
Jew had, and somehow, no one ever knew how, the pistol went 
off and Dick Choates was killed. Squire Choates believed the 
peddler shot him in anger, no one was present, so he had him 
arrested and carried to Clinton jail. The Jew claimed it was ac¬ 
cidental, a Mr. Moses, a Jew lawyer from Columbus came up 
to defend the peddler. This was quite a noted trial, and Moses

made the most eloquent plea that I have ever heard in a court¬ 
house. The Jew was convicted of manslaughter, and given four 
years in the penitentiary. 

A BIT OF HISTORY 
By S. H. Griswold — April 9, 1908 

I was honorably discharged from the army of Northern Va. 
on account of ill health, I returned to my home in Griswoldville. 
It was 1863, but my health was so bad, I went to the oaky woods 
to my aunt’s, Mrs. Giles Griswold to see if it would help me 
and it did, I was only 18 years old but when her overseer left 
she asked me to take charge of her plantation and I did. 

This place was near where Haddock now is and later the lands 
were owned by Dr. John Hardeman, Charles Andrews, Tom 
Speights and others. I used to go to Pleasant Grove Church and 
stop by Col. Mark Johnsons, who was a smart and entertaining 
gentleman of the old school. I also liked to his daughter and 
step-daughter. Misses Fannie Pendergrass, and Kate Johnson, 
both educated and talented young women. I wish you could know 
the social life of this part of Georgia before the catrastrophe 
of the Civil War. The going to church, worshipping together, 
singing, dining with friends, it was just a paradise. I rode a fine 
horse the two miles, (Sherman got him later), and on my re¬ 
turn trip I met a soldier in the blue uniform, I took him prisoner, 
and on the way he said that he was very bitter toward his gov¬ 
ernment for not exchanging him for another prisoner. He had 
been at Andersonville for two years and had only enlisted for 
12 months to begin with. He said that he had escaped but made 
up his mind not to stay in the woods another night, he was cold 
and tired. I gave him some clean clothes, a good supper, made 
him a pallet by the fire after he had had a bath, and there Mal¬ 
colm Johnson and Charlie Bonner and I sat, until morning. 

Johnson took him in his buggy to Milledgeville the next morn¬ 
ing. My aunt filled his haversack with good food, gave him a 
good breakfast, and as he left she said. “I have a boy in Lee’s 
Army, all I ask is that they treat him as I have treated you, 
Goodbye, my boy may you return safe to your family.” His 
name was Parsons from Illinois. Dear Aunt Penina, how little 


526 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


she thought that in a few short weeks, she would lose her life by 
means of these same Federal soldiers. Parsons was only 20, I 
hope that he got home, but we never heard from him afterward. 

MORE WAR HISTORY—SUNSHINE 
By S. H. Griswold 

Since writing about Stoneman’s raid and his capture at Sun¬ 
shine Church, I have been informed by Francis (Frank Green), 
that he was at his father’s place near Round Oak going toward 
Five Points. He was a paroled and wounded prisoner. He heard 
that the Yankees were coming so he mounted his horse and rode 
up to Round Oak where he met them. 

They halted him as he rode off, shot at him several times, 
striking his saddle three timse but did not hit him. When Stone- 
man returned from Macon with his command he was met at 
Round Oak by Wheeler’s Cavalry, which was pursuing him. I 
think Col. Clews was in immediate command of them, but Gen¬ 
eral Iverson was the Brigadier. I don’t know whether he had 
gotten to the “Oak,” when the fight began or not. As soon as 
Green heard that the Confederate Cavalry was after him, he 
mounted his horse and met them at the Oak. He says that the 
skirmishing began there, and that the battery, or one gun was 
stationed immediately under the big oak tree in the village, and 
that they gradually drove them back through the Frank Hascall 
place to the line which the Federals occupied near the old Sun¬ 
shine Church. When he got to the road near the Oak he met a 
Confederate Captain with about twenty-five men on horses. 

They asked him if he lived near here, and knew the country 
well. Frank Green said that he knew every pig path, so the Cap¬ 
tain asked him if he could lead him around the Yankee line and 
bring him in the rear of the Yankees. He told that that he could, 
and that he was a paroled prisoner and had to walk with a 
crutch from a wound, had fought in Co. B, 12th Ga. Regiment. 
The Captain said, “You know the circumstances, if you should 
be caught, its certain death.” Green said that he knew what it 
meant, that he would take the responsibility and would volun¬ 
tarily guide them. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


527 


Green set off at a fast pace, he led them around toward Ben 
Green’s and by the old Butt’s place, the Luke Mercer place and 
came into the Clinton road at Wayside where Jonothan Holmes 
lived, they came up on several Yankees at Holmes’ well drinking 
water. The Confederates charged these, running them up the 
road as hard as they could go toward Sunshine Church, yelling 
and shooting. This led the Yankees to believe that a large force 
was coming on from Clinton, and this they reported to Gen. 
Stoneman who believed it. Green and his men were fighting them 
vigorously in the rear, and meantime others had formed a V- 
shape and Stoneman thinking they were completely surrounded, 
ran up the white flag. Some Federals broke out, and went to¬ 
wards Athens, but most of them were captured near Sunshine 
Church. 

Frank Green wounded and paroled, risked his life again for 
the south, and did more towards the capture of Stoneman than 
any other one man. He should be recognized by his government, 
for valorous action beyond the call of duty. He hated to violate 
his parole, but could not stand by and see his home and people 
invaded by the enemy and not fight. 

While on the subject of the war I want to mention Hal Chris¬ 
tian who belonged to John Morgan’s Cavalry and was with him 
on raids in Kentucky and Tennessee. John, Zack and Mill Us- 
sery and Hazel Caldwell were neighbors and friends in the upper 
part of the county and enlisted in the Gray Infantry which be¬ 
came Co. F., 45th Ga. Regiment. 

These boys were in the seven days fight around Richmond 
and saw plenty of action. No braver soldiers ever wore the gray. 
I know that Hazel, son of Pat Caldwell was killed, I can’t re¬ 
member about the others. They were under Capt. Bonner from 
Jones. 

A LITTLE WAR HISTORY 
By S. H. Griswold — 1909 — Jones County News 

In Nov. 1864, I was living with my aunt on the plantation 
now owned by Dr. Hardeman near Haddock, when one of our 
neighbors rode up to inform me that it was rumored that the 
Yankee army under Gen. Sherman was approaching. I got on 


528 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


my horse and set out with him to seek other neighbors, and when 
several of us had gotten together we went to find out just where 
they were and went toward Clinton. At Mr. James Finney’s 
place we found the rumor to be true, and after consulting with 
the group we decided to find some older men and seek their ad¬ 
vice as to what to do. They could not advise us, so we all de¬ 
cided that each one would act as he saw best. 

Some hurriedly hitched up their teams and loaded their wag¬ 
ons with supplies and things they valued, a few negroes to lead 
the stock, and put out through Twiggs County, crossing the 
Ocmulgee River at Buzzard Roost Ferry into thickets and 
swamps of the neighborhood. Some of these were found, and 
all they had, taken by the Yankees, and some managed to evade 
the enemy and save theirs. 

It was decided by my family that I should leave, as every 
negro knew of my capturing an escaped Yankee prisoner the 
week before. We knew that the Negroes would tell the Yankees 
and that I would suffer the consequences. I asked the oldest and 
most reliable slave to take the stock and hide them in the thicket 
and swamps, giving them all necessary instructions. I mounted 
my horse and went to the place of Gen. D. N. Smith in Wilkinson 
County, on the Oconee River. Here was a large thick swamp 
where I could dodge the Yanks. Having hunted and fished there, 
I was familiar with the place. I arrived there late in the evening 
and found everything in a state of excitement. I spent the night 
but I was so worried over the others at home I decided to go 
back. So I started back the next morning. I had my honorable 
discharge in my pocket and thought they would let me go, as 
I was not subject to military duty. All went well until I reached 
Mrs. Chas. Ivey’s place near Stevens Pottery. Here as I turned 
from a long stretch of road through the woods into a lane I ran 
into a squad of Ohio soldiers. Dick Brown was riding a little 
way behind me, he wheeled his horse and escaped through the 
woods. He was at home on a furlough from Hampton’s Cavalry 
and had on his uniform and pistol. They rode up to me and 
ordered me to dismount, one of them taking my horse and spur, 
put me on an old mule, refused to look at my papers, and bade 
me follow them. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


529 


A Captain rode back and took my watch, as he rode off one 
of my guards said to the other, “What right did he have to take 
this man’s watch?” “Oh well,” he said, “he is a Captain.” 

They were all riding horses and mules taken from the people 
around and loaded down with plunder tied in great bundles to 
the saddles. They had a cart and steers with a Negro driving it, 
loaded with the things they wanted to take, I remember seeing 
several demijohns of peach brandy and bushels of apples they 
got from Mr. Henry Stevens of Stevens Pottery. They were 
making their way toward Gordon, foraging on the country. As 
they came to a house they would stop and go in. It was a cold, 
windy day and I remember one saying, “If this is your warm 
Sunny South, then damn your Sunny South.” 

My guards had me dismount and go in with them, I saw them 
rip open feather beds, open drawers, closets, search the house 
and take anything they wanted without asking. Outside a crowd 
of Yankees was getting the horses, mules, shooting turkeys, 
chickens, hogs, and getting syrup, hams, eggs, and where a fam¬ 
ily was at the table eating they were made to get up and serve 
the Yankees until they had enough. One of my guards told me 
that he did not approve of what they were doing, he said he 
entered the army to fight for the Union and not to become a 
thief, he said that it made him ashamed to see the things his 
outfit were doing. He was truly a fair and just man, whom I re¬ 
spected. Once while going through woods I saw the Captain 
whisper to the men and they spurred their horses and tried to 
leave me with a mean rough looking fellow, whom I felt would 
shoot me, so I beat my mule and kept up with them. Later on 
the Captain asked to see the papers I had, he looked them over, 
and let me go, as we were going into Gordon. 

The road was full of soldiers, Negroes, stock and wagons, 
and I had my mule doing all he could going back to Jones, when 
the same Yankee, the mean one demanded that I give him the 
mule and take the old sick and soreback horse he had, he reached 
over and took the heavy wool shawl I had around my shoulders. 
I led the poor old horse over to Mr. Daniel Brewer’s house and 
spent the night. Early morning I decided the horse couldn’t make 
it, so I set out on foot through the woods. I passed Mr. Finney 


530 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Ivey’s house, he was salting down meat which he had killed the 
day before. His horses were all around, so I told him that the 
Yankees would get them all. He was a fine old man and sorrow¬ 
fully said, “Well they will get them anyway, no use to hide 
them.” 

I arrived home about noon and found everything in a state 
of fear and excitement, the Yankees had carried off everything 
on the place, carriage, horses all of the food and had committed 
other depradations. My aunt was in bed, horribly burned, and 
in a serious condition. She always took good care of her hus¬ 
band’s rod and gun as they were the best to be had, and he loved 
them. While she was hurriedly wrapping up powder in a paper 
a spark of fire popped into it, causing it to explode, burning her 
hair, face, clothing, almost the whole surface of her body. Only 
her five children were there, the oldest 17, all girls except a two- 
year-old boy. They did what they could and the Negro maid, but 
the nearest doctor was Milledgeville. There was nothing to ride, 
the Negroes were afraid to go out, couldn’t get to a neighbor. 
What suffering, agony and what grief stricken children watching 
their mother dying. On the third day we got Dr. Hall from 
Milledgeville. Mrs. Mattie Brown and Mrs. Mark Johnson 
came to help but it was too late and my aunt, Mrs. Giles Gris¬ 
wold died. (Penina Newton.) 

I watched dozens of gin houses burning as I knew the neigh¬ 
borhood and could tell where each fire was. Everything written 
here is true, and to those in my county who have grown up since 
the war, I want you to know what your parents or grandparents 
endured. About everything in the line of provisions were taken 
off, or destroyed. We picked the loose corn where the Yankees 
horses left it (our corn) and ate it until we could walk far 
enough to find a family who had been luckily missed and had 
some food. May our land never know those days again. God 
forbid. 


MORE WAR HISTORY 
By S. H. Griswold — 1908 — Wilson - Macon 

General Wilson with his Federal Cavalry came to take pos¬ 
session of Macon in May 1865. Col. James H. Blount of Jones 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


531 


County with his battalion of Confederate Cavalry, was picketing 
the roads to the city at that time and met Wilson some miles 
out on the Thomaston road with a flag of truce and informed 
him that General Lee and Johnson had surrendered and that 
there was an armistice suspending operations, but he paid no 
attention to this flag and came on and took possession of the city. 
Several days after he came a squad of troops under an officer 
went to Griswoldville in the afternoon and arrested Col. E. C. 
Grier (son-in-law of Sam Griswold and manager of his business) 
A. N. Griswold lessee of the shop and Ed J. Freeman and Mr. 
Frink. These were all of the white men in the place at that time 
except Sam Griswold who was old and feeble. 

They carried these men to jail and put them in the old city 
hall on 4th street. Two other Yankees walked in Mr. Griswold’s 
room, found him there alone, they drew cocked guns and com¬ 
manded him to unlock his safe or they would kill him. He opened 
the safe and they searched it thoroughly, finding only a Colt’s 
revolver and 25 cent silver piece, they cursed and swore and 
threatened him unles he would tell where his money was. They 
made a 12-year-old grandson take them all over the house and 
place searching for money, Charlie did as they said but they 
still found no money. They left with the final threat that they 
would be back the next day, and unless the gold was produced 
that his wife and daughter would suffer for it. They took every¬ 
thing of value that they found. After several days the three men 
they had arrested returned as they had no charges against them. 

Griswold did have several thousand dollars in gold, which 
had been safely hidden long before Sherman’s crowd had burned 
the town and gin works but no one but Griswold knew and the 
war and reconstruction was over before the money was brought 
out. 

There was so much confusion, lawlessness, and thieving among 
the freed negroes that the Federals sent a company of soldiers 
to Clinton to preserve order. Captain Lockett was in command 
of a New York Regiment and he was in charge. These guards 
usually made the unruly negroes behave themselves. One of the 
Federals named Harris had to arrest a bad negro and on his 
way to Macon, 6 miles away at Gaines Crossing, the prisoner 


532 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


got away and fired on Harris, Harris fired back killing him. At 
that same place a negro killed Mr. Bill Wood, a few weeks be¬ 
fore. 

James M. Gray lived on his plantation where W. C. Roberts 
now lives, sent to Clinton for a guard as he was having trouble 
on his place. As the guard tried to restore order he was shot in 
the arm by a negro. Perry Finney and James Finney near neigh¬ 
bors went for help. A posse was formed and went to the Gray 
place, the negroes had left. 

These were trying times in Jones County. First an order was 
issued that anyone in Jones having a gun must bring it to Clinton 
and surrender it to the Federals. Men were sent out to search 
the houses. All of the old broken down horses and mules Sher¬ 
man had left when he took the best ones were brought in. So a 
family had no arms or any way of getting any place. The only 
way one could keep a horse was by bribery. So if you were able 
to pay, you had a horse. 

The commander of this troop was also head of the Freed¬ 
man’s Bureau, which caused no end of trouble with the blacks. 
They were promised 40 acres and a mule of their former owners. 
They sold the negroes stakes to go and stake off the land, and 
told them to select a mule out of the bunch brought in. The 
Yankees were not as good as their word, and this did not come 
to pass. Cooks quit the kitchens, hands left'the fields, only a few 
faithful ones remained and worked for wages. 

When we went to bed at night we wondered if the house 
would be burned down before morning. The souls of the people 
were tried beyond endurance, nothing was stable or secure. 

The commander was an inveterate gambler, and anyone who 
had a few dollars, they would have a game. The order came 
removing Captain Lockett to New Orleans. He left owing 
$50.00 to one of his card-playing partners. He gave him a note 
for it. After almost a year had gone by, Capt. Locket was mus¬ 
tered out, and on his way back to New York, he got to Macon 
and hired a driver to drive him 12 miles to Clinton over muddy 
roads and paid his debt, to the utter astanishment of the man 
he owed.

AN ELECTION IN TONES COUNTY UNDER 
BAYONET RULE 
By S. H. Griswold 

After the surrender of the Confederate Army, Georgia called 
a Convention, adopted a new constitution (or amended the old 
one) elected a Legislature and State House officers. Congress 
however, would not recognize this state government and passed 
a Reconstruction Act, disfranchising the greater part of the best 
citizens of the state, giving the ballot to the negroes and placing 
the state under military rule. 

General Rucker, being in command, moved the seat of gov¬ 
ernment from Milledgeville to Atlanta, issued a proclamation, 
appointed registrars for each county to register all qualified vot¬ 
ers under the act, called for an election of all state and county 
officers as well as Congressmen, the election to be held three 
days at county seats, under supervision of Federal soldiers sta¬ 
tioned at the polls. Jackson Jones (or Big Jackson as we called 
him), a large black negro was appointed chief registrar of Jones 
County. Big Jackson could barely read and write, but had more 
than ordinary intelligence and was conservative and well-liked 
by the white citizens of the county. He carried on the work of 
registration with as little offense to the whites as could have 
been done. The negroes all “relished,” as they called it, in fact 
they were keen about it, as this was the first time they had ever 
participated in anything pertaining to an election. 

Election days came in due time with a detachment of Federal 
soldiers stationed at the polls. This was commanded by a Cap¬ 
tain. As soon as they came to town they were taken in hand by 
the white citizens of the county and treated royally, being sup¬ 
plied with all of the comforts and luxuries to be had. Their 
Captain put up with Capt. R. H. Bonner, who then lived in the 
Bowen house, opposite the courthouse. 

The men were quartered in a small house owned by P. L. 
Clower not far from the courthouse. Capt. R. W. Bonner and 


534 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Col. Nat Glover for the Democrats, and Simon P. Juhan and 
Blanton Hardeman (both colored) and I think Big Jackson, 
were the managers of the election. When the polls were declared 
open Federal soldiers were stationed at the door with bayonets. 
General Gordon for the Republicans was candidate for Gov¬ 
ernor. Judge W. T. McCullough, white, Democrat for the Leg¬ 
islature and Jacob P. Hutchings (colored) for the Legislature. 
Other officers were also to be elected. 

The negroes were on hand in force under the leadership of 
Jacob P. Hutchings and James Devereaux, who formed them 
in fours and marched them to the polls crowding them to such 
an extent that no white man had a chance to get in between them. 
Devereaux stood at the entrance with the Republican tickets in 
his hand and gave each man a ticket as he entered. Jacob, with 
other negro leaders walked around and kept them in line. The 
town was full of whites who did all they could to keep down ex¬ 
citement and tried by every peaceful means and argument to 
break up the solid ranks of negroes being led by Devereaux and 
voted by him as if they were one solid man. This continued for 
one day without real serious trouble. 

The same tactics were followed the next day,—the negroes 
holding the door and doing the voting, the whites crowded out 
with no chance to vote. Finally about eleven o’clock on the sec¬ 
ond day, Mr. Bill Bird got tired of waiting, he saw there would 
be no chance to vote, so long as he submitted to the way things 
were going. He determined to force his way to the managers and 
deposit his ballot. Into the crowd of negroes on the door steps 
he went, demanding to be let in. One negro offered to carry him 
in and register him. He resented this and pushed him out of the 
way, then things happened. A fight started in the twinkling of 
an eye. The white men armed with sticks and a few pistols 
started into that crowd and the negroes broke like a flock of 
sheep, and ran from the town frightened. None stayed, all went, 
not a gun or a pistol was fired on either side, but the coolness of 
the leaders of the whites alone prevented a terrible catrastrophe. 
Had one shot been fired the consequences would have been fatal 
to the negroes. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


535 


The United States officers hastily formed their soldiers into 
a line between the retreating negroes and charged up the hall 
toward the whites. A good many negroes stopped at the negro 
church on the outskirts of town, and word was sent to them by 
the whites to return and vote if they wanted to, but they would 
not be allowed to block the entrances and take possession of the 
polls as they had done. The negroes refused to come back and 
vote, and did not show up again, although the polls were open 
all that day and the next. The whites all voted and the election 
was won by them. Gordon for Governor, McCullough for Rep¬ 
resentative being elected. Judge McCullough took his seat in 
the House when the Legislature met, but Jake Hutchings con¬ 
tested his election and the Republicans being in the majority, 
ousted the Judge and seated Jake as Representative of Jones 
County. This is the only time that Jones County was ever repre¬ 
sented by a negro. 

The night after the negroes went from the polls, a large two- 
story house in the suburbs of town, known as the Hitch House. 
It belonged to Dr. Barron. He was very active in helping to 
beat the negroes in the election, so in revenge they burned his 
house. These were exciting and trying times and full well did the 
white citizens of Jones County stand by each other and were 
determined that they would govern and control their homes and 
county. They showed firmness and courage and left a record 
that should be preserved by their descendants. 

There were some exciting times before this election; when the 
negroes would gather in the courthouse for a political meeting. 
Incendiary talk and expressions would crop out. The white men 
were ready to defend their homes and families to the death. 
This was the day of the negro Loyal League, and the white 
man’s Ku Klux Klan. Well do I remember going to a Klan 
meeting in a hollow west of the Methodist Church one night. 
As we would glide along like ghosts and disappear, how fright¬ 
ened the negroes became. The negroes were coming in town by 
twos and four to attend the Loyal League meeting, but as soon 
as the news spread of what they had seen their meeting was 
called off. 


536 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


I will say that the leading negroes such as Big Jackson, Jake 
Hutchings, and Blanton Hardeman, were conservative and were 
liked by the white people, and to them is due much credit that 
there was no serious clash during those years of bayonet rule. 
But under the rule of James Devereaux who came from Savan¬ 
nah under the cloak of teaching school, but really to take charge 
of the negro vote in the county were inclined to be ugly. The 
courage and determined front of the whites overcame his in¬ 
fluence, and he finally left the county after being convinced that 
he could not run Jones County. He was Senator for one term 
from Jones, Twiggs and Wilkinson Counties. 

REPUBLICANS AGAINST DEMOCRATS 
By S. H. Griswold 

The second election under bayonet rule was to elect a Gov¬ 
ernor to succeed Bulloch and a new Legislature, state and county 
officers. At this election the state was redeemed from radical 
rule. This election was held at the courthouse, as no other pre¬ 
cinct in the county was allowed to open. 

There were five managers of the election, Capt. R. W. Bon¬ 
ner, Col. N. S. Glover, for the Democrats, and Blanton Harde¬ 
man, Simon Juhan and one other for the Republicans. General 
Gordon was again the candidate for Governor and Blalock for 
the Republicans. Sam Barron was the democratic nominee for 
the Legislature and Jacob Hutchings, colored, for the Repub¬ 
licans. 

The polls were opend on the day appointed, in the court¬ 
house with the managers and clerks around the judges stand. 
There was an opening in the railing around this where the voters 
had to pass through. There stood James Devreaux, negro Re¬ 
publican, taking the ticket from any negro who came in and 
handing him one of his. He was not.allowed to vote only as 
Devreaux wanted him to. Jacob Hutchings and other leaders 
kept them lined up and blocking the gateway all of the first day, 
voting a Radical ticket in a block. 

The next morning before the opening of the polls, F. S. John¬ 
son, Sr., Thomas Bowen and a few other leading men went to 
Devreaux, and told him plainly that he must no longer block 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


537 


the gate and issue tickets to every negro. Devreaux went to the 
Federals and asked to do it again, but they refused to do so, 
saying that they had come to preserve order and not to usurp 
the right of everyone registered to vote. So the gate was left 
open and people voted, however the Republicans were in the 
majority, and at the polls’ close, no one knew just who would 
win. It was very late and the managers agreed to leave the ballot 
box in the courthouse with Simon Juhan, colored, guarding it, 
in the clerk’s room upstairs. Wilkes Gresham with a Yankee 
soldier entered the room later and while Gresham talked with 
Juhan and got into a fight. The soldier picked up the sealed 
ballot box, walked out with it and threw it in the yard behind 
Henry Christian’s Grocery. The alarm was given and Gresham 
and the soldier were arrested, the ballot box was found and 
brought back to the courthouse. The negroes refused to count 
the ballots with the other managers so the box was turned over 
to Capt. R. W. Bonner who with a poll manager took the box 
home locked it in his closet until the Superior Court met when 
Judge Robinson ordered the managers to count the ballots or go 
to jail. Gordon went in for Governor. Sam Barron was elected 
to the Legislature by a few votes. 

This is the story as was told to me, and I know it isn’t as it 
should be, but it was a matter of life and liberty or barbarism. 
Plenty of friends bailed Gresham out, and the soldier was out 
after a few days in the guard house. Devreaux and others went 
to Macon to military headquarters and swore out warrants for 
all concerned in the matter. These men, the most prominent in 
the county were arrested and carried to Macon, where they gave 
bond. They were later tried and acquitted. 

James M. Gray the leader of the Democrats before the war, 
and head man in Jones County was arrested and carried to 
Macon. He had served in the Legislature, on many state con¬ 
ventions and was a great friend of Bob Toombs. When Gray 
got to Macon, gave bond he found Bob Toombs, who defended 
in court, Gray and all of the Jones County men being tried and 
they were freed. When Gray told them how the Yankee soldier 
actually took the ballot box, Toombs wouldn’t believe it but 


538 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Gray insisted that he did do it, and Gray always said afterward 
that he couldn’t get Bob Toombs to ever believe it, although it 
was true. 

Wilkes Gresham was made deputy sheriff of the county for 
his act of rescuing the ballot box. He was a good and respected 
citizen. 

Judge Robinson on the Superior Court was put there by Bul¬ 
lock and was a Republican, this made the situation even worse. 

To these men of fearless and determined character and to 
every man in Jones County who stood shoulder to shoulder dur¬ 
ing these terrible days of reconstruction to keep our county free, 
let us never forget. A few of these I remember, John Bradley, 
Wilkes Gresham, James M. Gray, Dr. J. F. Barron, Bob Bar¬ 
ron, Capt. Charles Hamilton, Col. Hamilton, James H. Blount, 
Dick Hutchings, Bert Hutchings, Henry Christian, R. W. Bon¬ 
ner, F. S. Johnson, E. C. Grier, George McKay, Ham Ridley, 
R. T. Ross, Thomas Bowen, N. S. Glover and Sam Barron. 

Ed like to state that there were no scalawags in the whites 
in Jones County—no not one—. 

SOME POLITICAL HISTORY 
S. H. Griswold — Jones Co. News — 1909 
Eli Shorter Griffin 

Soon after the surrender of the Confederate armies an elec¬ 
tion was held to elect a Governor and other state officers and 
members of Congress for Georgia to reinstate the state in the 
union. Charles J. Jenkins of Augusta was elected Governor. 

Dr. James F. Barron form Jones County was a candidate for 
the Senate and Griffin, local Methodist preacher was his oppon¬ 
ent. Griffin preached at the Cross Roads and other churches and 
was also well known in Twiggs and Wilkinson. Dr. Barron car¬ 
ried Jones County but Griffin won in Twiggs and Wilkinson. For 
several years Twiggs and Wilkinson controlled the Senator’s 
race. One race was between Capt. R. W. Bonner and Gen. D. N. 
Smith of Wilkinson. Smith was a former Jones Countian, lived 
where the John Bradley place was. His friends were J. M. Gray, 
Bonner, Barron and other Democrats in the County. He and 
Capt. Bonner were brothers-in-laws and this was the first race 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


539 


for the Senate when the new district was formed. Now Smith 
drew the vote of Twiggs and Wilkinson Counties and won, Bon¬ 
ner carring Jones, but there was much feeling between the coun¬ 
ties, as Jones was the smallest and for a long time could not elect 
a Senator against the other two. 

James H. Blount, a young lawyer was then living in Clinton, 
and in this race ran for the Solicitor-General of the Ocmulgee 
circuit and was elected. Then Andrew Johnson was President 
and was trying to get the seceded states back into the union. A 
Republican Congress was in control and tried to undo every¬ 
thing that the President did. They passed the Reconstruction 
Act, giving the negro the right to vote, disfranchising many 
whites, ousting the newly elected governors and state house offi¬ 
cials and put the state in charge of Generals’ of the Federal 
Armies, with troops stationed at all points to register all qual¬ 
ified voters black and white, and an election called to elect mem¬ 
bers to a convention for the purpose of forming a constitution 
to suit the acts of Congress. They called the convention to meet 
in Atlanta although Milledgeville was the Capitol. The Federal 
General had his headquarters in Atlanta and he started business 
in Atlanta. Ex-Gov. Brown urged the acceptance of the Recon¬ 
struction Act and to do the best we could but Ben Hill came 
out in the papers advocating the opposite course. Some of Jones 
Fountains follow Browns way of thinking, but most people were 
strong for Ben Hill’s advice. 

Sam Gove and Dr. Thomas Gibson were delegates to this 
convention. They managed to get into the constitution the pay¬ 
ment of all taxes before voting and other things to keep the 
rule in the hands of the whites. Now came the tug when John 
B. Gordon ran against the Republican, Rufus Bullock for Gov¬ 
ernor. Bullock was elected Governor and Sam Gove elected to 
Congress from this district. The race for Senator from the 21st 
District was Col. Isaac Hardeman of Jones, Democrat and Wil¬ 
liam Griffin of Twiggs, Republican. The negroes crowded around 
the courthouse and there was great excitement, Hardeman spoke 
to them in a quiet way, urged them to be peaceful and not to 
make trouble. I recollect standing on the staircase looking down 
on the angry mob fearful that any minute a riot would start. 


540 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


I saw Col. Chas. Hamilton clutch his gun and stand ready, but 
Col. Hardeman prevailed on them and their leaders Jacob 
Hutchings, Clant Hardeman and Big Jackson to keep their race 
under control and they did. Of course under the bayonet rule 
Col. Hardeman was defeated by Griffin. James H. Blount was 
an untiring worker for the white people. He worked with the 
Negroes to thwart their plans. He was fearless and persistent 
in his efforts and he was backed by Mat Gray, James F. Barron, 
Col. and Capt. Hamilton, Roland Ross, Ben Barron, Nat Glover 
and others whom I cannot now recall that Jones County was 
enabled to run its own affairs. 

This was not forgotten for when Blount moved to Macon and 
ran for Congress, Jones County stood by him through thick and 
thin for the 18 years in which he represented this district in 
Congress. James Blount kept his lands in Jones and was always 
welcome and had a great interest here. He was truly an out¬ 
standing citizen. 

Up to the time of the overthrow of the carpetbagger from 
the formation of the 21st Senatorial District, Jones County had 
not been allowed a Senator. After the Democrats got control of 
the state, a rotation system was adopted so as to allow each 
county the honor of naming a Senator in rotation. I think Col. 
A. S. Hamilton was the first elected to the Senate from Jones 
and Capt. Bob Barron to the House of Representatives. 

Since then Capt. Ham Ridley, Judge Johnson, J. R. Van Bu- 
ren, and J. B. Jackson have been to the Senate from Jones. 

Twiggs County named Peter W. Edge to the district conven¬ 
tion at Gordon but he had moved from Jones County to Twiggs 
and was a preacher, Baptist, a lawyer and a notary public. He 
was opposed by Jones County and Dud Hughes was nominated. 
However Edge did run, but before the election his horse threw 
him and broke his leg so he had to get out of the race. Hughes 
was a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1876 and 
made a good record for himself. The Hughes and Edge contro¬ 
versy was a faction in many elections after this. 

The Negro Republican, James B. Deveaux, a carpetbagger 
was elected Senator from Jones, he came from Savannah and 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


541 


under the bayonet rule was really the first Jones County Senator. 
This was while Bulloch was Governor. 

SOME POLITICAL HISTORY 
By S. H. Griswold — Jones County News 
July 1, 1909 

After Sam Barron’s election to the Legislature, we had learn¬ 
ed to manage things at election times so as to elect white men. 
Captain Hamilton for his loyalty, for suppressing the carpet 
baggers was elected to the lower house of the Legislature, and 
at the end of his term offered for re-election, but Captain Ridley 
wanted to run for the place, as neither would come down it was 
decided to hold a Democratic nomination, no one but Demo¬ 
crats could vote, and this was the beginning of the white primary. 
Negroes who had been known as Democrats were allowed to 
vote, however some bad men took advantage of the situation 
and voted Negroes who were not supposed to vote, causing much 
trouble to the Democratic committee, until they passed a rule 
that only white men could vote (who were Democrats). Previous 
to this the Committee would call a mass meeting at the Clinton 
courthouse and nominate the candidates. Now Hamilton felt 
fairly safe as he had James M. Gray on his side, who was very 
influential. He was a nephew of Col. Lee and Green Clowers, 
wealthy and influential, who backed him in this race, and it 
looked as if he would certainly win, and he was arrogantly con¬ 
fident that he would. 

Now Capt. Ridley was popular in the upper part of the coun¬ 
ty, having good friends in Clinton too, as well as other parts of 
the county. Dr. Barron and his brother Bob, came out strong 
for him as well as Nat Glover. Dr. Barron was not friendly with 
the Hamilton side, he and Col. Hamilton had had a quarrel and 
though they spoke, they did not like one another, and Barron 
was against him in politics, so he and Bob went to work for 
Ridley. Ridley drove all over the county seeing the people and 
asking for votes and Hamilton did the same. I went with Ridley 
through Burdens, Wallace, Roberts and Popes Districts. In those 
days there was a country grocery in every district, and the can¬ 
didates would go there to meet the men and talk politics. At 


542 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


least a portion of these went to see the color of and taste the 
candidates liquor. The candidate usually left a supply with the 
grocer to treat his friends when they came in, after he was gone. 
Old Gen. Jackson was a great follower of candidates when they 
were electioneering. He was with Hamilton and Judge Gray in 
the lower part of the county. They treated the floaters and left 
whiskey at Levi Kinslow’s grocery, then they came to Haddock, 
by this time they were tired of Gen. Jackson and wished he’d go 
home, so they gave him a bottle and told him to go home and 
treat the Hamilton friends, he was indignant, he said he didn’t 
want their whiskey, he wouldn’t ask for votes, he wouldn’t vote 
for them if he wasn’t good enough to follow them through their 
campaign. So Gray insisted that he go on to Clinton with them 
which he did, and had a big time. 

When the day came for voting, the county was so excited and 
the rivalry so keen that about every voter came out to vote. I 
recollect seeing a two-horse wagon load of voters come up from 
Wallace district, with Elbert Roberts sitting in front playing the 
fiddle, he led the crowd up to the polls in Clinton and voted. 
When the votes were counted it was found that Capt. Ridley 
had been elected by a small majority. The Gray’s and Hamil¬ 
ton’s were very bitter about the election, especially towards the 
Barron’s and it took some expert maneuvering to keep down a 
fight, but finally they got right and Bob Barron was elected to 
the House and Col. Hamilton to the Senate. David W. Lester of 
Popes District and George M. McKay of Hawkins District with 
Gray and the Hamiltons’ supporting Lester and the Barrons and 
Glovers supporting McKay and also Capt. Ridley. The William 
Chambers and Wm. Morton of Fortville took to the road and 
worked like beavers for Lester while the others did likewise for 
McKay. This was the most heated campaign in Jones and there 
was much fighting over it. It was a hot election, and many inci¬ 
dents happened on the voting day but Lester won by a small 
vote. At the next election McKay ran again and was elected. 
Although they fought over the election yet they held together and 
voted together when there was a Republican candidate against 
them, and the Democrat was always elected. Another very excit¬ 
ing race in Jones was that for Sheriff between John Bradley and 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


643 


Bill Morton. The Hamilton and Lester men were determined 
to beat Bradley because he was a McKay man, so they did their 
utmost and Bill Morton was the kind that when he went into 
anything he gave it all he had and meant to win. John Bradley, 
laughed and joked his way to winning, although Morton made a 
good race he couldn’t overcome Bradley’s popularity. 

Whiskey flowed pretty freely and with the drinking that went 
on at this time it is a wonder many weren’t killed. The men were 
loyal to their pledge and supported their nominees. Wilkes Gres¬ 
ham was deputy for Bradley, and when Bradley served his term, 
Gresham became Sheriff. Then he wanted to run for the Legisla¬ 
ture so Nat Glover who wanted McKay to win got Gresham to 
run to keep the Lester crowd out, which it did, but then they 
couldn’t get Gresham out, however McKay won, but Gresham 
disliked Glover very much. To ease the feelings, the people got 
Glover to run for both sides and this restored harmony. After 
this the fierce partizanship died out. 

THE KU KLUX KLAN AND THE EVILS 
THAT FOLLOW 
By S. H. Griswold 

During the reconstruction, the Freeman’s Bureau and the 
days of the carpet bag rule the Ku Klux Klan was organized 
and officered by the best men in the county. After it had served 
its mission and had been dissolved certain lawless characters in 
some neighborhoods continued to commit depredations on inno¬ 
cent citizens for the purpose of gain to themselves and used the 
name of the Ku Klux Klan to cover their acts. 

One place especially had this kind of a set up. It was the 
Garrison road and in the two counties of Baldwin and Jones. 
The band took it on themselves to regulate this section of the 
county. Mike Shaw was the leader of this band and caused no 
end of trouble to farmers, by running off their labor, burning and 
confiscating other’s property. Some murders were laid to this 
lawless crowd. Shaw was tried and convicted of killing his wife 
in Baldwin court. Hon. Fleming DuBignion defended him, but 
he was found guilty and hanged for it. This broke up the gang. 


544 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


The first moonshine still ever destroyed in Jones County was 
in 1865 while the Federal soldiers were still in Clinton. A Negro 
named Berry formerly owned by General Newton Smith in Wil¬ 
kinson County, had helped Smith make peach brandy and knew 
how to do it. He got a washpot, carried it off in the thickets on 
a branch between the Griswold house and Mrs. Rachel Brant¬ 
ley’s. Here he built a furnace around it of rock, hewed from a 
poplar log a cap to fit the pot, made a long trough which he 
kept full of running water, from a spring on the hillside above 
him and through this trough and in this water he kept three old 
musket barrels having unbreeched them and cemented them one 
into another. These he connected to the wooden cap. In a few 
old barrels he had Maypops, plums and meal and a sorghum 
syrup which he let ferment. Then he put this beer into the pot, 
put on the cap, connected it with the gun barrels and made a 
distillery, running off some kind of liquor. Bob Cox and I found 
it and went to the Sheriff Tom Bowen who went to the Federal 
officers in Clinton. The Federals found the still and destroyed 
it much to the grief and disguest of old Berry. I tasted the stuff 
and it was whiskey all right, but don’t know what one could call 
it, and that homemade still worked, too. 

CRIMES AND ACCIDENTS 
By S. H. Griswold—1909—Jones County News 

About the end of the war there was great lawlessness, and 
much violence, as law and order had broken down. Mr. Bill 
Woods was killed by a Negro at on near Cain’s Crossing. When 
Stoneman made his raid there was a negro slave named Minor 
who ran off from Sam Griswold (he bought him from the 
Blounts) and joined Stoneman’s army at Walnut Creek and 
acted as a guide on their return through Jones County up to 
Sunshine Church where they were captured. This Negro was 
captured with Stoneman and later hung by the Confederates 
from a limb on a tree for all of the things he had caused the 
Yankees to do to the people. 

Maxwell had bought the Griswold lands at Griswolds and had 
built a large sawmill just below old station 18 on the railroad. 
He employed a large number of whites and negroes at the mill. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


545 


They lived in shanties nearby and Amos was the terror of the 
crowd, and cut a man named Herbert Reynolds almost to death 
in Twiggs County. He was sentenced to life imprisonment but 
died in a year. John Sparrow was a trusted slave but after he 
joined Sherman’s army he was dangerous. He came back after 
the war in the Yankee uniform with a discharge in his pocket 
and was constantly in trouble. There was a bad lot of horse 
thieves between Cedar Creek and Devils Half Acre, and they 
belonged to a big gang of thieves in the south and were con¬ 
stantly stealing horses, which then were very valuable and scarce. 
Dr. Barron recognized his horse one night and at the muzzle 
of his pistol made them give it back. P. T. Pitts was shot in his 
yard by this gang but lived. These thieves were soon broken up 
and dispersed. 

COURAGE AND PATRIOTISM OF OUR 
ANCESTORS 
By S. H. Griswold 

Going back to war times, and when Sherman made his raid 
on Macon, news of his approach was carried from neighborhood 
to neighborhood by mounted citizens and the cry of “the Yan¬ 
kees are coming,” startled the peaceful inhabitants, frightened 
the women and children, and worried the men. The news had 
reached the Fitzpatrick neighborhood in Twiggs County, below 
Griswoldville. A courier from Macon came, and the men at this 
community formed a company to go to Griswoldville and help 
defend it and Macon. They were elderly men and planters with 
many slaves, some were, Tom Jones, Methtin, Nelson, Chappell, 
Epps, Burkett, Nash and others. They were armed with shot 
guns with a very few old long-barrelled rifles. Some of these 
guns were good and some bad. They carried powder in gourds 
strung over their shoulders, buck shot and bullets in a bag, with 
paper for wadding and caps for tubes. Some had taken the joint 
of a reed, just the size of the bore of their gun and had melted 
small shot and what lead they could find, even melting the pen¬ 
dulum of their clocks, and had poured it into these reed joints, 
and made a round lead which they cut into half-inch lengths, 


546 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


rolled these under a heavy plank, made a bullet which when 
rammend down in a shot gun would carry well, penetrating an 
inch plank from a long distance. 

Thus armed and equipped with a haversack of provisions and 
a quilt rolled and tied hanging over their shoulders like a collar, 
mounted their horses midst the weeping of their families, put 
out to find the raiders and fight them from their homes. On the 
way to Griswoldville they passed a few of Wheeler’s Cavalry 
who laughed at the “Quilt Brigade” but congratulated them on 
their patriotism and hailed them with delight. Mr. Sam Gris¬ 
wold had them to sleep at his house, did all he could for their 
comfort and appreciated them, coming to help defend his place. 

The Yankees did not come that night, as they found resistance 
at Macon and were too hard pressed to get there, although 
Griswold was turning out ammunition and guns for the Con¬ 
federacy. After it was ascertained that Sherman had fallen back, 
some of these men followed them to Sunshine Church where 
Stoneman was defeated and captured. 

This is a good illustration of the courage of these men during 
the war. These were old men with only lads who had done the 
best with what they had, and went voluntarily to the aid of 
their neighbors, to fight if needs be. 

Griswoldville and the railroad were safe this time but not 
long, another came a few months later and destroyed both. You 
have an account of the Battle of Griswoldville or the Duncan 
Place. Before the real battle, there were skirmishes between a 
few of Wheeler’s Cavalry and a contingent of Yankee Cavalry. 
When the skirmish began a Yankee had gone in Griswold’s house 
and ordered Mrs. Griswold and daughter Mrs. Stubbs to go 
down into the basement. A Confederate soldier in the back yard 
was shot down from a Yankee on the railroad embankment. A 
Yankee came down and ordered Mrs. Griswold to find bandages 
for the wounded, which she did. A Capt. of Wheeler’s Cavalry 
from Texas was killed and buried there, I don’t think he was 
ever moved. The Yankees had set fire to the places all around 
and they were beyond help, but as fast as they set fire to the 
buildings, a Negro slave would put it out, his name was Owen 
Bostic, a trusted negro man whose wife was a maid in the home. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


547 


They cursed and threatened him and called him a “rebel negro” 
but he stood his ground and kept the fires put out. He was a fine 
carpenter and built many homes for the whites, also Pitts Chapel 
at the Cross Roads. He voted and stood with the whites at re¬ 
construction and was respected by all. 

When the Yankees came into the village, Col. E. C. Grier and 
Capt. R. W. Bonner were in the Griswold house they escaped 
down the road toward Gordon on their horses to the old Paul 
Mill Pond on Big Sandy Creek. There they stopped behind some 
trees, along came two Yankee Cavalrymen riding carelessly 
along. Col. Grier jumped in front of them with a cocked re¬ 
volver and demanded they surrender, they were so surprised, 
they wheeled their horses to the right, put the spurs to them, 
ran into the swamp, muck, mud, and jumped off their horses and 
escaped but the horses could not be gotten out and died there. 
After the skirmish the Yankees left and Gen. Wheeler came, he 
made his headquarters in the Griswold’s house. The little grand¬ 
son Henry Bonner listened to the talk of the staff, walked up to 
Gen. Wheeler and said, “Mister ain’t you a third Lieutenant” 
The Gen. smiled and said “Yes.” “I thought so,” said Henry. 
Really Gen. Wheeler was small and young looking so Henry 
reasoned he must be just that. Uncle Henry Roberts lived 3 
miles away made very fine peach brandy, and grape brandy. 
When Sherman came through, they wanted his brandy, but they 
got only a small quantity which he left out on purpose, for he 
had buried 4 barrels of his best brandy in a new ground and 
had burned trash on top of it. The Yankees searched and search¬ 
ed plowing the ground with their ramrods and bayonets in the 
hope of finding it, but the old man was too cunning for them. 
He got plenty of money for that brandy after the war. 

INCIDENTS OF WAR TIMES IN JONES COUNTY 
ByS. H. Griswold—1908 

During the Civil War, Perry Finney and his family lived in 
Clinton, and a Negro woman whom had cooked for them some 
time, put poison in their food and the whole family was very 
sick. Fortunately they all recovered except one child who died. 
The Negro was arrested, tried and sentenced to be hung. She 


548 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


was in the Macon jail, when Wilson’s army came at the close of 
the war. The jail at Clinton had been burned by Sherman, and 
only the four rock walls were standing. 

Sheriff Smith brought her to Clinton for the hanging and 
stationed guards all around the walls to keep the curiosity seek¬ 
ers out. As the trap was sprung, a negro man who had climbed 
up in a high pine tree over the enclosure, fell out of the tree to 
the ground and there was considerable excitement. 

F. S. Johnson, Sr. was the Confederates’ agent at Clinton for 
collecting tithes for Jones County. The Government had passed 
a tax requiring one-tenth of all provisions raised for the support 
of the armies. This tenth was brought by the agents to the court¬ 
houses and stored by them until sent to the proper authorities. 
These agents were under bond and responsible for all that they 
received. After the surrender of the armies, Mr. Johnson had 
a lot of provisions stored at Clinton. Rumors reached him that 
the soldiers’ hungry wives in the county would make a raid on 
these provsions and take them, in fact a demand had been made 
for them and he refused. He sent to General Wilson of the 
North to Macon to take charge of them, which he did. There 
was some feeling at Clinton against Johnson for this action that 
he took, but as sober thoughts returned, they acknowledged that 
he was right. He was custodian of these supplies and under bond 
and he was correct in believing that he was entirely responsible, 
and it was his duty to protect his bondsmen. 

He would would like to have had the hungry families to use 
these supplies, but had no right to do so. Other counties had the 
same problem. 

Federal soldiers came to Clinton to protect these stores and 
there were several encounters, as one pushed Bob Kingman and 
he retaliated, he then tried to shoot Bob but another soldier told 
him to let the Reb alone, after considerable give and take, the 
Federals left and the officer in charge told Bob that he admired 
his bravery but not to push them too far. This was the first of 
many Yankee squads to be stationed in Clinton. 

There were troublesome times after that, and a Ku Klux 
Klan was organized, in which the Negroes were in mortal fear. 
John Speer lived at the old Hart place. At a settin’ up one night 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


549 


at the old Hitch place they heard that the KKK’s were coming, 
however it was really a bunch celebrating the wedding of the 
Hart girl and one of John King’s boys, so the Negroes deserted 
the corpse and ran away, some falling into the gully back of 
Morgan’s. 

I recollect that Sam Morgan had a Remington pistol and 
dropped it in Johnson’s store and it discharged almost striking 
Col. Hamilton. Col. Hamilton said, “I have been through the 
war and had many close shaves and here you are so d-care¬ 

less that you almost killed me.” He made Morgan cringe with 
his sarcasism, of which he was an expert. 

GENERAL JOHN B. GORDON 
By S. H. Griswold 

General John B. Gordon was a great man ,one of magnetic 
personality ,a good soldier and leader. I remember him coming 
to Clinton to make a speech for Gen. Colquitt’s election for 
Governor. He was met at James station by Gus Bragg, with a 
fine buggy and two spanking black horses. The county, as well 
as Gus, was proud of that turnout he had. It was a sight to re¬ 
member when Gus came riding into Clinton with those two high- 
stepping horses and the shining black buggy and General Gor¬ 
don beside him. They went directly to Judge Johnson’s home, 
then he was escorted to the courthouse by Judge Johnson, Col. 
A. S. Hamilton, and others where the bunting and stars and 
stripes waved. A large crowd had assembled. 

A state convention had been held of the democrats in Atlanta 
to nominate a candidate for governor. At that time a rule re¬ 
quired two-thirds of the votes to nominate, Gen. Colquitt had a 
majority in the convention but could not get the necessary two- 
thirds, so no nomination was made, but his friends by a ma¬ 
jority vote, passed a resolution recommending him as the can¬ 
didate. The opposition contended that this was not a nomina¬ 
tion and that the party wasn’t bound by it, and Hon. Thos. Nor¬ 
wood of Savannah was announced as candidate against him. The 
campaign was hot and General Gordon took the stump in behalf 
of his friend Colquitt. 


550 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Jones County was in favor of Norwood, so when Gordon 
spoke in Eatonton, they liked him so much they made a date for 
Jones County. 

In the courthouse at Clinton, Gordon met many citizens and 
old soldiers, among them Bill Morris with only one leg and using 
crutches, he hugged Bill and asked, “Where did you lose your 
leg”? God bless you my boy. I honor you for what you did for 
your south.” T'his brought down the house and after his eloquent 
appeal for Colquitt, Jones went for him. 

General Robert Lee had been quoted as saying, that Gen. 
John B. Gordon from Georgia was an able leader and a gallant 
soldier. He recalled his leadership on May 12, at Spottsylvania 
and how he helped put Howard’s Corps to flight at Chancellors- 
ville by going around Hook’s flank. Men who fought with Gor¬ 
don loved him. Men felt that President Davis made a great 
mistake when he failed to recognize Gordon’s and Gen. Forrest’s 
greatness before it was too late. Had Gordon been in Early’s 
place, there would have been but one day at Gettysburg, and 
that a victory for the Confederates. Four times did Early send 
orders to Gordon to stop driving the enemy before he would 
stop, and then only because he was told that Lee did not wish to 
bring on a general engagement. He saw that Cemetery Ridge 
and Round Tops were the keys to that situation and was push¬ 
ing the enemy, with the intention of occupying these points. At 
the Wilderness he plead with Early all day, for permission to 
attack Burnside’s flank which was in the air. Late in the after¬ 
noon he got to Lee and obtained permission, the attack succeed¬ 
ed and Grant swung to Spottsylvania, where he again stood 
ready to bar the way. Gordon, Lee and Henry Grady did much 
to restore a better understanding between the North and the 
South after the war than anyone else. I followed Gordon through 
the war and kept up with him after the war and personally I 
think the General was great in war and great in peace and that 
he was a Georgian to be remembered.

A VISIT TO CLINTON 
By S. H. Griswold 

A short time ago, I made a short visit to Clinton, the place 
where I lived in my early childhood and in my young manhood 
days. How quiet and sad it appeared to me, and I could scarcely 
realize that this was the place, that once the home of a refine 
and elegant people, (those who still live there are chips off the 
old block), whose homes were elegant in that day where things 
looked alive, where the men sat in the shade under the mulber¬ 
ries and played backgammon and checkers; where lawyers, doc¬ 
tors, merchant and clerks were up and doing; where the silver 
mounted carriages of Steven and Clower with its polished and 
shining body sitting high above its wheels on great curved leather 
springs, with its seat on top for the driver to his cutaway coat 
and brass buttons and its place outside in the rear where the 
black in his livery stood hanging on by straps, with its folding 
steps which had to let down for entering. Four proud horses 
were hitched to it, harnesses in silver mounted harness, used to 
travel its streets as well as similar vehicles of many wealthy 
families, minus the two lead horses and footman, as they bore 
the ladies of the families when shopping, calling or to worship, 
and the belles and beaux to the entertainments and balls—the 
latter usually given in the dining room of the two hotels, where 
they met and danced to the tune of old Jim Weather’s fiddle. 
The sporting men had their places in the back room of the gro¬ 
ceries, and the click of the poker chips could be heard with the 
call of the farrar dealer; where the rowdy and the bully raised 
cain; where the practical joker got in his work. 

Was this indeed the same Clinton? One of the old prominent 
land marks of Clinton’s life was the Baptist church, of which 
there is not a sign or trace left. There are not many now living 
who knew the church, when it had a congregation and was in 
good repair. It was back in the 50’s when this was the case, and 
long before it was torn down, it stood a quiet and desolate, grad¬ 
ually going to decay unoccupied for several years. It stood on 
the right side of the road to Macon, some 300 yards above where 
Judge Johnson now lives, and the road or street made a gradual 


552 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


bend where it stood, leaving its side to it, while its front faced 
the street below the bend, and looking up from downtown it 
seemed to stand almost in the middle of the street. It was of 
good dimensions with a front veranda supported by columns, a 
high steeple overhead containing a bell. The windows were large 
and wide with outside blinds to them and diamond-shaped at 
their tops. It was nicely finished inside. Had two doors, and 
aisles leading from each of these down to an altar, which sur¬ 
rounded the pulpit. The pulpit was a great high box-shaped 
affair. On each side of these aisles and next to the walls were 
rows of short benches and in the center between the aisles were 
long benches, divided in the center by petitions. The ladies sat 
on one side of the church and the men on the other. The benches 
or pews were nicely made and were very comfortable. A gallery 
which was reached by steps from the front veranda extended 
over the front part of the church and was for the use of 
the negro slaves. It was a nice and good appearing building and 
up-to-date at its time. Mrs. R. V. Hardeman was its most faith¬ 
ful member, and by her energy and liberality kept it going for 
a long while. The Reverend Jessie Campbell, who was one of the 
leading pastors of Georgia, was its pastor for a long while, and 
Jesse Mercer, the great light of the Baptist church, has deliv¬ 
ered some able sermons in it. It was torn down several years 
ago and a new crop of cotton and corn is now growing where 
it once stood and there is nothing left to mark its sight. 

The other old church (the Methodist) still stands, although 
it has been cut down and remodeled until it does not resemble 
itself. The cemetery is there and natural as ever, with the ex¬ 
ception of the decay and touch of time. The wooden pailing 
enclosing most of the graves have rotted and fallen away, and 
a wilderness of bushes and briars have grown up above the 
graves and even great trees have grown up in some of the en¬ 
closures, and their roots and branches have even prized apart 
the large cemented rocks which composed the walls of some of 
these enclosures. Here and there is an iron fence, and even they 
are not spared by the hand of time and decay. In several places 
their panels lie rusted and broken, and occasionally a headstone 
or monument is found broken or fallen to the ground. Here 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY

under ail this wilderness of growth and the large magnificent 
forest trees, which have been here from the beginning of time 
lie the bodies of some of the best citizens of Georgia—the men 
and women, who in their time made of Clinton and Jones Coun¬ 
ty a refined and prosperous community. Robt. Vines Hardeman, 
who was an able and honorable lawyer, and who had been Judge 
of the Ocmulgee circuit, together with his wife, who was a lead¬ 
ing woman in the Baptist churches of Georgia and a lady in 
every respect, are buried here. Their graves have been neglected 
but are protected by an iron fence. Dr. Asbury Kingman, the 
Chesterfield of Jones County, with his wife, are, I think, buried 
in this Hardeman lot. Captain Jack Pitts, his wife and children 
are in the walls of the Pitts lot, and all show neglest. Immense 
trees have grown up among them and now shade their tomb¬ 
stones. James M. Gray is buried in a small lot all to himself, 
with a good iron fence around his grave. It too has been ne¬ 
glected and briars and bushes have grown above his monument. 
Here in Jones County’s most prominent man in his time. One 
who so loved it and his people as to leave most of his estate as 
a fund to educate the poor boys within it, and made it possible 
for many of them to prepare themselves for usefulness in life 
lies in utter neglect. It would be a fitting tribute to his memory 
and an expression of gratitude and appreciation upon the part 
of some of the beneficiary of his bounty if they would have his 
grave cleaned, and deposite a few fresh flowers thereon. 

Samuel Griswold, his wife, Giles Griswold, his wife and son 
Will, were buried in a lot with part of a fence around it, and 
their graves are neglected, the briars and bushes have grown 
above the monuments and the ground is covered with vines. F. S. 
Johnson, his wife and his sons, Sam, Cater, Hortis, Willie, Eliah 
and Dorsey are in a lot enclosed by an iron fence, and they too 
are neglected. Daniel Newman Smith, his wife and infant chil¬ 
dren are nearby in neglected graves, broken fence and head¬ 
stones covered with weeds and briars. Austin Stubbs and wife 
are also here in neglected graves. Peter L. Glover, Sr. his wife 
and his three old bachelor sons, Stephen, Green and Peter Lee, 
Jr. together with his grandson, Col. A. S. Hamilton, are buried 
in the Glower lot, which is enclosed by a massive granite wall. 


554 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Large bushes, briars and weeds fill this enclosure. Dr. Horatio 
Bowen, the most popular physician of his day, together with his 
wife and son, Dr.Abb Bowen, are buried in their lot, and bushes 
and briars cover their graves. Charlie McCarthy, who was so 
long clerk of Jones Superior Court, lies in a grave walled in by 
solid granite blocks, which is filled by a growth of large bushes. 
Elbert Hutching is here in a neglected grave. Dr. Jas. F. Barron 
is nearby in a lot that has some care and attention. Wm. G. 
Morgan with his wife, his son, William, and his son-in-law, 
Perry Finney, and Wiley Holsenbeck are in the Morgan lot, 
which is also well kept. Roland T. Ross is in his lot, and R. W. 
Bonner, his first wife and son, Giles in theirs. These two lots 
are in good shape. 

Near the church is a grave between four fanite posts con¬ 
nected by iron rods or bars in which sleeps Wesley P. Arnold, 
one of the best men Georgia ever produced, and one of the lead¬ 
ing ministers during a long life in the Georgia conference of the 
M. E. Church south. He died while stationed on the Clinton 
circuit, and was buried near the door of the church which he 
loved. He was well beloved by our people, and the writer has 
a special place for him in his heart, as it was he who united 
him and his wife into the holy bands of wedlock, in Nov. 1866. 
Joseph Chiles ,one of the county’s most progressive and intelli¬ 
gent planters with his wife is in this cemetery, and their graves 
are also in a neglected state. Capt. Robert H. Barron and his 
wives, Ellen and Lula, are near the church and their graves are 
enclosed in a neat iron fence. Major Wiley Pope and his wife 
are also here in graves that show decay and neglect. Maj. Pope 
for a long while kept the hotel in Clinton, and was a well known 
citizen. 

Some of the older graves are as follows: Cullen Murchison 
died June 30, 1823; Eliza Bettie Bray died Dec. 10, 1825; Jno. 
M. Davis died Sept. 17, 1822; Henry H. Sowers, native of 
Greenville, Mass., died in 1822; Peter Pease, native of Enfield, 
Conn., died June 16, 1827. 

The following are in the old cemetery on the Hillsboro road 
nearly opposite where Mrs. Ross lives; W. D. Bunkley died 
Sept. 13, 1812; Jas. Billingslea 1829, Amanda Sims 1826, Ab- 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


555 


ner Slatter 1829, Eliza H. Justice 1828, Jenkins D. Weather 
1829, J. A. Billingslea 1859, this was Mr. Gus Billingslea, a 
young man well known in Clinton and well liked. Jno. T. Bar- 
row died in 1856, he was teaching school in Clinton at the time 
of his death, and was a man much respected and admired by the 
community. I think he lived in Morgan County somewhere near 
Madison. I think he died either at Mrs. Lowther’s or Madam 
Parishes, and was buried in their lot. Their burying place was 
the old cemetery and the most of the above were their people. 
I think Capt. and Madam Parish, and Samuel Lowther are also 
in this lot, but 1 am not certain as there is no headstones that 
mark their graves. The two or three lots in this old place are 
surrounded by granite walls and great scrub cedars sending out 
a wilderness of branches tobether with briars, weeds and vines, 
and but fo rthe solid walls of heavy granite they would have 
been obliterated from the face of the earth. 

Many old graves in both cemeteries are unmarked and are 
utterly obliterated so far as any outward signs or marks are con¬ 
cerned. The list I have given to show a few of the first that 
were buried shows that in the early 20’s the cemetery back of 
the church was used, and as far back as 1812 the old cemetery 
was used. Among those recently buried here are Henry S. 
Greaves and his good wife. They were worthy and well beloved 
citizens of the old village who had lived a long while in its pre¬ 
cincts, and who did good in their day and loved the old town 
with an abiding and loyal affection. Dr. Geo. Pursley and his 
good wife were also long residents of the old town and well be¬ 
loved by their neighbors. 

There is no one now living that can tell of all those who were 
in the humbler walks of life and who are buried here with no 
monuments to mark their graves. Zackariah Thigpen, his good 
wife and his brilliant son, Gilbert, are somewhere in this cem¬ 
etery, I don’t know where. They were long and honored citizens 
of the town. I don’t wish to be understood as criticizing anyone 
when I mention the condition of the graves in the cemetery. I 
set out to record what facts I found in remembrances of old 
land marks and to give them. I don’t wish to wound any one’s 
feelings.

THE PAST AND THE PRESENT 
By S, H. Griswold — 1909 — Jones Co. News 

How altered the country in Jones around Gray and up the 
railroad toward Hillsboro as to what they were before the war. 
There were fields of cotton, corn, fruit trees, green gardens and 
flowers, snow white houses. As I passed here on the train a few 
years ago it was the loveliest spot in Georgia, there were fine 
milk cows, fat sleek mules, fine hogs and everything was so pros¬ 
perous. Leaving Gray, Dr. Bowen owned the land to the public 
road and on to Briar Lane. Some of this land was cultivated, 
some was in fine pines, oaks, hickory. On the right hand going 
up was a large acreage of original woods known as the May 
woods. Calamus grew in the marshy places and was used for 
medicinal purposes and I think Dr. Bowen had it planted for 
his use, before the war or the former owners, May’s had planted 
it. 

Take the place where John Winters, Allen Wheeler and part 
of the Glawson family now owns, it was all Dr. Bowen’s a few 
years ago and in original pine timber. I have hunted squirrels, 
wild turkeys and quail through these woods where they were 
very abundant. The woods below Allen Wheeler’s and next to 
the Glawson’s was known as the Smith woods and was good 
hunting grounds. Judge Johnson said before he could pull his 
trigger so many squirrels appeared that he could never decide 
which to shoot. 

Col. Hamilton married Miss Sally Bowen, a daughter of Dr. 
Bowen’s, after Dr. Bowen’s death, she built a large negro settle¬ 
ment, and near Briar Lane built a house, they called this place 
“Possum Snout,” he cleared some of this land and built a gin 
house. Later they moved over to Clinton. Mrs. Hamilton after¬ 
ward swapped it to Mr. Hamilton for part of the Lee Clower 
estate west of Clinton. Col. Hamilton cut this up and sold it, 
the 600 acres, of which the railroad was built through. Tom 
Bowen inherited this land but had to sell it to Hardeman and 
Sparks for $1,200.00 on a debt. I then lived on a part of this 
Bowen place on the Eatonton road, the old Finney place which 
I had bought from Mrs. Hamilton, and was offered this land 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY

cheap but refused it. John Bryant of Houston bought it and 
cleared part of it, after his death his heirs sold it. Mr. Ed Mor¬ 
ton buying most of it. Right across the road from Briar Lane 
was the Lowther place, mostly huge pines, and a few cleared 
patches. On up from Bradley where the lands are red, were the 
best, sweetest and juiciest field plums I have ever seen, also 
seedling peaches, but a disease came along and about killed them 
all, even John Bradley’s peach orchard. 

Near Bradley where Gus Bragg lives was the overseer’s 
house, negro quarters, horse lots, gin house and many buildings. 
On this Lowther plantation there was a fine body of woods 
known as Duck Woods, where the Clinton boys hunted squirrels. 
After Sherman came through and destroyed so much of this 
Lowther property, she sold the place and moved to Alabama 
where her daughter and grandchildren lived. Dr. Barron, W. G. 
and John Morgan bought this place from Mrs. Lowther, paying 
her in Confederate money. Nat Glover bought her Falling Creek 
property and mill, and Sam Griswold bought her Clinton house 
and property of 160 acres back of the Negro church joining 
the Hart place, later bought by Frank Stewart. All these places 
she sold for Confederate money, took her stock and personal 
belongings to Alabama, intending to buy property there, but then 
the war ended, and Confederate money was no good and so she 
became a poor woman, while she had been the second largest 
taxpayer in Jones County. She never came back to Jones, dying 
in a few years. She had truly been a good business woman and 
was as smart as could be, well educated, but she made a terrible 
mistake selling her propertv when she did. Barron and the Mor¬ 
gans sold her property to old man Little in Macon, he had a 
northern man named Wing to live on it for a few years, after 
Wing left Alex Stevens lived there. A northern man named 
Baker died there, leaving a wife and children, they were well 
liked and very industrious. After Little died it was divided 
among his heirs who sold the places. Whitehead was a son of 
Mr. Little and he lived on the part that he inherited. 

On up above Bradley the next plantation was of old man Hine- 
sley, who sold it to Dr. Barron, the old Academy Spring where 
Planters Academy stood was on this place. Jonathan Holmes

lived on and owned the next place, where Wayside is now. Jor¬ 
dan Barfield owned the next place formerly the old Brown place.

and that Jones County is the “asparagus bed,” and so does Rich¬

OLD CITIZENS 

Washington Kelly lived not from Lite and Tie, his lands 
joined those of Judge Hardeman, Mrs. Baker and others. He 
was one of the wealthiest men in the county when the war 
started. He was a quiet man reserved a hard worker and be¬ 
lieved in saving his money, and did. He had one daughter who 
married Gus Roberts, had a son named W. C. Roberts now liv¬ 
ing near James. When Gus Roberts died his widow married 
Luke Smith and they had several children. 

Washington Kelly was the brother of Miles Kelly a fine Chris¬ 
tian gentleman. 

John Smith was another old citizen of note. His sons were, 
Clark, Luke, John and Layton and daughter Mrs. Abe James. 
He married a sister of Bill Roberts. These people I mention 
were good substantial and worthy citizens of Jones. 

Uriah Kitchens, Henry and John Kitchens were substantial 
citizens who left families, some in Twiggs and some in Jones. 
Henry and John were Confederate veterans and Lee’s army 
had no better soldiers than they. On top of the hill at Lite and 
Tie lived the Feagans, now owned by Abe James. The Feagans 
moved to Houston County where Wellston now is. The sons 
were, Henry and George Feagan, fine men and good citizens. 
Where the road forks to Irwinton and Griswoldville at the 
Alexander Martin school lived Henry Roberts an uncle of Bill, 
Green, Jack and John Roberts. Lizzie a daughter married John 
Kitchens. His second wife was a Miss Blow, they had Micajah 
and a daughter. 


560 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Henry Roberts was noted for his sweet watermelons and fine 
peach brandy, also the making and keeping of sweet potatoes. 
Not far from Henry Roberts on the Irwinton road lived Uncle 
Tommy Stewart one of the first settlers of the county. Stewart 
was a fine marksman, could outshoot anyone I ever saw, was a 
good citizen and meant much to Jones. Garry Sketo was an old 
citizen too, had a son, Lem Sketo both lived in the lower part 
of Jones. 

Mrs. Haskins and her family moved to Dooly County. She 
was a brunette, with the keenest black eyes, about 60 when I 
knew her, she was a practical nurse and made many a bed of 
pain easier for someone. 

LAST COURT IN OLD CLINTON; JONES 
COUNTY SEAT NO MORE 

Something of the pathetic lingers about Clinton now, for its 
last Superior Court is being held there this week. The new court¬ 
house building now at Gray, is nearly completed, and the courts 
hereafter will be held at Gray. (1905) 

So much of the reminiscent hangs about Clinton, that some¬ 
thing of its past is now appropriate. Jones County, of which 
Clinton has for so many years been the county seat, was laid 
out in 1807. Clinton, named after Governor DeWit Clinton of 
New York, was incorporated in 1816, and is twenty-two miles 
from Milledgeville, fourteen from Macon, and twenty-eight 
from Monticello. Clinton’s first name was Albany, after Gov¬ 
ernor Clinton’s home town. 

Jones County was named for James Jones, nicknamed “Chat¬ 
ham Jimmy.” See Chapter 111 for details. The present court¬ 
house in Clinton was started in 1816, as the town was incor¬ 
porated, but it was probably 1818 before the three stories were 
completed. The full basement was used for a jail until the jail 
was finished. The key to this basement jail may be seen in the 
Clerk of Courts office in Gray today (1956). Miltia districts 
which had been formed soon after Jones County was organized 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


561 



The Fourth Colurthouse Built in 1905 at Gray, Ga. 


had a well organized company in each one. Once a year there 
was a muster day at the county site and all men in the militia 
had to stop work and attend, armed and equipped for regular 
service. Each company had a captain and each tried to have his 
company at their best and the drills went on most of the day. 
Jones Co. had to rely on this militia for her protection as Wash¬ 
ington City was too far away to depend on for a sudden emer¬ 
gency. The small bands of Federal troops on borders could not 
be relied on for help, as they were too few. 

Robert Hutchins and James Smith were selected in 1816 to 
secure plans for the building. The lot of land on which Clinton 
was built, containing 202 acres, was bought from Thomas John- 


562 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


son by the Judges of the Inferior Court, who were R. Cunning¬ 
ham, Joseph Duckworth, J. W. Ray, G. W. Rose, and the sale 
of lots paid for the courthouse. So the old courthouse is part 
of Clinton’s history, and its abandonment, and the building of 
a new one at Gray, on the line of the railroad, drawn upon the 
retrospective and recalls Clinton in all its glory in ante-bellum 
days. And splendid were its old families. Among the early set¬ 
ters of the county were, William Butler, Sam Dole, Roger Mc¬ 
Carthy, Robert Cunningham, John R. Gregory, and among the 
early settlers of Clinton were Mr. Thigpen called to this day 
“Daddy Thigpen,” William Morgan, Dr. Bowen and Dr. Ham¬ 
ilton, both eminent physicians in their day, Sam Lowther, Peter 
Lee Clower, Green Clower and Mr. Parish, a noted citizen, who 
lived in the home now owned for many years by Mr. S. L. Chiles, 
Robert Hutchins and Charles Hutchins, so long Clerk of the 
Court, and in later years, in the thirties, Clinton was the home 
of the lamented Tim M. Furlow, whose first wife was Mary 
Charlotte Lowther, for years a merchant of Clinton. And there 
was Dr. Barron, so distinguished, and two of his sons still reside 
in Clinton, Jack the wellknown lawyer, and A. L. the prosperous 
merchant. And Clinton was familiar with the faces of such men 
as Henry G. Lamar, Robert Hutchins, Alfred Iverson, James 
Gray, R. V. Hardeman, Thomas Blount, John Bayne, Peter 
Kolb, Abner Slaughter, Abner Flewellen, Peter Northen, Ster¬ 
ling Lanier, David E. Blount, who were among Jones County’s 
Representatives in the Legislature. 

From 1840 to 1850 Jones had three of four Representatives, 
while she now has only one. Jones always held to her Ordinaries, 
for only four have served—Charles McCarthy, R. T. Ross, 
Thomas G. Gibson, and R. H. Bonner. These men were well- 
known in Macon. 

During all her life Clinton has been given to hospitality. Her 
citizens keep open doors on Sundays, on election days, Masonic 
occasions and court weeks. And Gray will have to bestir herself 
to sustain the reputation for hospitality which has characterized 
Clinton. 

And Clinton is now a delightful place to visit. Everybody 
lives in his own home, has his own garden and flower beds, and 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


563 


orchard nearby farm. It is ideal village life, and the impress of 
those distinguished people who settled Clinton and reared their 
children there is left upon their descendants, for Clinton has its 
culture and its refinement, and those who love the old town and 
its associations and traditions, confess to a feeling of melancholy 
that this week closes the last session of Superior Court for Clin¬ 
ton. But Clinton with its charming homes and beautiful flower 
gardens, will still be delightful Clinton. For as the great King 
of Day, long after he sinks to rest in his western home, still 
lingers in the crimson glories and golden beauties which suffuse 
the evening sky, so will the virtues and graces, and culture and 
refinement of Clinton’s noble people still remain, giving to the 
dear old town a charm and beauty sweet to remember, and pleas¬ 
ant to contemplate.

PLANTERS 

The Academy and Some of Its Teachers 
By S. H. Griswold — Jones Co. News — 1908 

Near Wayside was one of the clearest and coldest springs of 
water to be found anywhere in Middle Georgia. There were few 
springs of such volume, purity, and sparkling water. In this grove 
of oaks, hickories and elms there was built a large two-story 
academy, called first “The Farmers Academy” later changed to 
“Planters Academy.” Clinton already was famous for her two 
academies and this school became one of importance for north¬ 
ern Jones. 

Here the children of these families attended: Major Barrons, 
William Barrons, Thomas Hunts, Woodalls, Browns, Thweatts, 
the Jones, the Greens, Frank Hascalls, Hensleys, Whatleys, 
Holmes, Walkers, and others I do not recall. 

Wilson Whatley was the first teacher as I recall. He was a 
large man with a gruff voice and was well known for his disci¬ 
pline. He had a brother, William Whatley who lived nearby. 
Both were well liked. He had a son William who taught at the 


564 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Academy after he left. When Wilson Whatley left he taught 
on the Macon road where Mr .Joshua Harris lived. 

He boarded with the widow of Alex Hunt and finally married 
her and moved to a place which he bought from Jim Woodall 
in Twiggs County near Griswoldville, from here he moved to 
Alabama just before the war. Mrs. Hunt’s children living with 
her were Bill “Bats,” John, Tom James and Mary Lizzie Hunt. 
She had a large plantation and slaves on Walnut Creek and a 
fine white house. After the war, James and John Hunt returned 
to Jones County, sold their property and moved to Barnesville 
where they became leading citizens. Alex and Thomas Hunt were 
brothers. 

Other teachers of the Academy were, Joe Carson, J. R. Jen¬ 
kins, J. A. Bowers, James F. Barron, and Jack Barron. In 1859 
Thomas Hardeman of Macon a Whig and Alex Speer from 
Monroe County, Democrat, were candidates for Congress. There 
was held at the Planters’ Academy a great barbecue and rally 
and Thos. Hardeman addressed the crowd. There was consid¬ 
erable rivalry between the whigs and democrats and the vote 
was close. It was conceded that the party who could vote the 
most floaters, who had no party and vote was purchasable, could 
win the election. Hardeman won by a close vote. 

“Hurricane Jack Jones,” and Griff Smith have told me how 
they hunted, deer and wild turkey near the Planters’ Academy 
and that they both worked on the building. At one time a hurri¬ 
cane passed near this building and cut a swath miles wide leav¬ 
ing practically no timber and Jack’s house went with it, so he 
was called “Hurrican Jack.” Jack moved to Texas about the 
1850’s saying that Jones County had too many people, he didn’t 
want to be crowded. His children by the first wife went with him 
but the second wife and her children moved to Clinton. One son 
Frank was a brave cavalryman in the war, and was killed after 
being taken prisoner. “Hurricane Jack,” had a grandson, a mem¬ 
ber of Congress from Texas. Joe Horne’s horse tied to a big 
oak in the school yard was killed by a bolt of lightning. 

I think this old Academy was burned by Yankees in 1864, as 
there is no sign of it now, the people are dead, the teachers also, 
some very old pupils tell me those were their happiest memories.

I remember going to commencement in a bush arbor at Wilson 
Whatley’s school near Joshua Harris’s. There were logs laid at 
intervals with planks on them for seats and a stage built at the 
end. There were speeches, oratory, songs, music and especially do 
I remember that James Hunt made a dramatic speech showing 
signs of talent in this line. A Jones County barbecue and basket 
dinner followed. I went from Clinton in the buggy with my uncle 
Henry Dorsey. Roger and Ellen Smith, children of Gen. New¬ 
man Smith were pupils in this school. They both did their parts 
on the program excellently. Ellen is now Mrs. R. V. Hardeman 
of Macon. Roger Smith was a physician at Milledgeville. 

CLINTON AND HER SCHOOLS 
By S. H. Griswold — Jones Co. News — 1908 
This Clinton Academy boarding school was a large two-story 
frame building situated on the hill back of where Mrs. Pope 
now lives across the little branch and near the spring, it faced 
toward the courthouse square and the front was terraced and 
planted in beautiful flowers. It was built by or for Mr. Slade 
who taught here many years. It was established before colleges 
were considered for girls and was one of the best in the state. 

The classrooms were on the ground floor and the bedrooms 
were on the upper floor. The grounds in the back were planted 
with fruit trees and the place well kept. The large pear trees 
lived on long after the school was discontinued. These were the 
best pears I ever tasted. A tree grew by a well by Fannie Hop¬ 
kins house which belonged to the Clower family. Girls were en¬ 
rolled not only from Jones County, but from Twiggs, Hancock 
and Putnam and other counties. Many boarded with families in 
the village. After Mr. Slade went to teach at Wesleyan Female 
College, Mr. Kellogg from the north was the head master, he 
brought a Miss Ripley, music teacher with him. Kellogg died 
with tuberculosis in a few years. Miss Ripley was a tutor for 
Sam Griswold’s children, she went from there to Charleston, 
S. C. where she married a Presbyterian minister. 

A few of the pupils were Carrie Billingslea who later married 
Gen. Lomax, Corinne and Lizzie Drewery, Carrie Ethridge of 
Jones, also Jane Thigpen. Misses Harris, Hancock, Miss Car¬ 
den of Twiggs County.

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


At the end of the term, every one looked forward to the 
closing day, when each student displayed their talents by piano, 
voice, drama, tableaux. That night a grand ball was given by 
the young men’s school to the students and visitors and was 
usually held in the dining room of Mrs. Gibson’s hotel. Jack 
Weathers called the cotillion and played the fiddle. Jack was a 
tall, dignified slave, talented in music, dressed in tailor made 
clothes just as the men dressed, with tails and a linen ruffled 
shirt. He would conduct the music until the wee hours and many 
a boy or girl spent their happiest hours there. 

They made a pretty picture, the girls in their crinolines off 
the shoulder, with curls and flowers in their hair, and peaches 
and cream complexions. The boys wore tailor made broadcloth 
suits cutaway with finest linen shirts with tiny ruffles up and 
down the front, and long tails. They wore prim-soled boots 
which fitted as snugly as the white gloves on their hands. The 
swarthy glowing complexions of the men with dark side burns 
gave them a handsome appearance. 

After Kellogg’s death, Ed Waterman conducted the girls’ 
school for several years, then moved to Macon. He had several 
children, one son, Ed, Jr., was an officer in the Macon guard, 
8th Ga. Reg. and was killed in battle. A son John Waterman 
went to Hawkinsville and edited a newspaper for many years. 

When I look at the place where these schools flourished and 
cannot even see a trace of it, or of the many fine buildings which 
once made Clinton, I recall the noble women educated here and 
are now gone, I wonder at the instability of human affairs and 
life and marvel at the things time does. We can’t live in the past 
but know our history in order to meet the future, lest we forget, 
lest we forget. 

The school for boys was located across the villege from the 
girls’ school and stood on a triangle in front of the Methodist 
church. A fine school it was an usually presided over by men of 
strong nerve and character, the discipline was trict and the rod 
played a great part in imparting knowledge to the boys. I don’t 
know who the first teacher was, but among the earliest was Mr. 
Tippett, he was thick set, short with a light complexion and hair 
and a heavy set jaw. He walked the floor and you dare not

whisper or laugh. He was Scotch and strong and very positive, 
not too popular with the boys, but had many men friends, I re¬ 
member E. C. Griswold and D. Kingman were his friends. I 
was too young to go to school to him. My cousin, Henry Dor¬ 
sey, went to him and I went once as a visitor. Henry volun¬ 
teered with the first company from Jones, was in the 12th Ga. 
Reg. went through all the Stonewall Jackson’s and Ewell’s bat¬ 
tles, and in 1864 at Winchester, Va. General Rhodes was Killed 
and so was Henry Dorsey. No trace of his body was ever found. 

These were some of the students that I remember, Hugh Tye, 
Harrison Barron, Jeff and Flew Williams, Jack and Tom Har¬ 
deman, William Barron, Frank Tye, Sam and Frank Johnson, 
Harrison and Jack Jones, Sol. Locket, Theodore Bryant, Perry 
Finney, Ned Blount, Peyton Pitts, Jim Blount and Bill Hunt. 

After Tippett left, John Barrow taught here for several years 
and was well liked. Mr. Florence succeeded Barrow, then Eu¬ 
gene Mitchell from Macon. He resigned in early 1862 and en¬ 
listed as private in Gray’s Infantry and served through the war 
with the 45th Ga. Reg. He moved to Atlanta after the war. 

I remember some boys that John Barrow taught, Lem Chiles, 
Sam Barron, Bob and Frank Hardeman, John Bowen. Bowen 
went to G.M.I. at Marietta, came home in Jan. 1861, joined the 
Jones’ Volunteers was in the 12 Ga. Reg., was a 2nd Lt. and 
later killed at Spottsylvania, while being carried to the rear as 
a prisoner.

HEALTH DEPARTMENT 
Began operation October 1, 1937 

Two successive Grand Juries recommended the adoption of 
the Ellis Health Law. A Board of Health was formed, consist¬ 
ing of a doctor appointed by the Grand Jury, namely Dr. J. D. 
Zachary, who has served since that date; Mr. W. E. Knox, 
County School Superintendent, member by virtue of his office, 
and Mr. J. A. Burnette, Chairman of the County Commissioners, 
member and chairman, by virtue of his office. Dr. Zachary and 
Mr. Knox are still serving on the board. Other board members 
have been: J. B. Etheridge, A. C. Kitchens, Mrs. J. M. Hunger- 
ford and L. F. Bishop. Mr. Bishop is now the chairman. 

Dr. J. D. Applewhite, Health Officer for the Macon-Bibb 
County Board of Health was part-time Health Officer for Jones 
County until January of 1950. Mrs. Sara Jones (now Smith) 
was the first and only clerk to work in the Health Department. 
Mrs. Tessie M. Penn, (now Wooten) was the first Public

The first clinics were held in one of the jury rooms in the 
Courthouse until the annex was added to the Jones County Li¬ 
brary anci in December of 1937 the Health Department moved 
into two offices in that building. It was in this building that Miss 
Velta Lane and Dr. Applewhite and Mrs. Smith along with Dr. 
Rhea W. Richardson of Macon held the first Tonsil and Ade¬ 
noid Clinics ever to be held in a health department. About 350 
colored and white children had their tonsils removed. Dr. Toof 
A. Boone of Macon came out to hold dental clinics in Jones Co. 
and we were one of the first in the state to operate a dental clinic 
in the Health Department.

JONES COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL P.-T.A. 

The first Parent-Teacher Association was organized in Jones

ing officers were elected to serve the first year: President, Mrs. 
J. W. Bonner; Vice-President, Mrs. U. S. Lancaster; Secretary, 
Mrs. W. H. Mulligan; Treasurer, Miss Mae Stewart. During 
that first year one of the major projects was to place permanent 
equipment on the Richard Johnson Playground. This plot of land 
was given to the school by the heirs of the Richard Johnson 
estate. 

Down through the years, the P.-T.A. has added much to the 
educational facilities of the school. Pianos have been purchased 
for the school, scholarships given, shrubbery planted, janitors 
hired, equipment for the Home Economics room installed and 
during the lean years heaters, and electric wiring were added. 
Physical examinations were made possible and hearing and vision 
tests were given by the P.-T.A. This organization honored the 
five County School Superintendents, A. S. McKay, David Lester, 
E. W Sammons, U. S. Lancaster and W. E. Knox, with life 
Memberships. Their names to be placed on a permanent scroll in 
the new headquarters in Atlanta, which is being built by the 
Georgia Congress of Parent-Teachers. 

There are active P.-T.A.’s at the other schools in the county. 
Griswoldville, Haddock, Juliette and several of the colored 
schools have active P.-T.A. groups,-furnishing school equipment, 
libraries, planting the grounds, making money for movie project¬ 
ors, athletic and playground equipment.

L. Jackson; Sec.-Treas., Harris Morton. The club had cleaned 
the lot and monument of James M. Gray who left “The Gray

organized in the past three years. Citizens generally recognize 
in this work one of the best mediums for character building and 
future good citizens. 

GARDEN CLUB 

The only garden Club in the County was organized at Had¬ 
dock in 1951 by Mrs. Octavia Burden Stewart and Mrs. C. W. 
Finney. The first officers were: Pres., Mrs. C. W. Finney; Viee- 
Pres., Mrs. Robert Wicker; Sec., Mrs. J. A. Pitts; Treas., Mrs. 
Marion Woodcock; Publicity, Mrs. George Stallings. The club 
has established for itself a reputation for service, cooperation 
and good will due to their efforts to improve their homes, yards, 
the town, school grounds and church grounds. There are twenty 
wide-awake members. Their spring flower shows held each year 
would do credit to older and larger clubs than the one at Had¬ 
dock. 

THE HOME DEMONSTRATION CLUB 

There are seven Home Demonstration Clubs in Jones County 
in the following communities: Gray, Round Oak, Plentitude, An¬ 
tioch, James, Pitts Chapel and Wayside. These clubs are under 
the supervision of the Home Demonstration Agent, Mrs. Vir¬ 
ginia Harris of Bradley, Ga. All of these clubs do outstanding 
community work, better family relations, physically, mentally 
and spiritually. As a Council the clubs come together and spon¬ 
sor projects and hear speakers and see pictures on all phases of 
home improvement. They sponsor the Spring Flower Show 
which is County-wide and the fall county Fair, with the Farm 
Bureau. Along with the Farm Bureau they have a County Dis¬ 
play at the State Fair in Macon each year and won second place 
1955-56. The dress revue of the clubs and the 4-H Clubs of the 
county is an outstanding event each spring. 

FARM BUREAU 

The Farm Bureau is an organization to encourage better 
farming and to sponsor farm legislation for the farmers. The 
Bureau works in cooperation with extension work in agriculture 
with the University of Georgia and the United States Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture. Their programs are usually good speakers 
on farm topics, pictures on soil erosion, farming practices, cattle

growing and pastures. The club co-sponsors the County Fair, the 
exhibit at the State Fair, Calf Club Shows and works with the 
County Agent, S. B. Adair who is very active in all phases of 
4-H Club work as well as the Farm Bureau. The President is 
Billy Moore of Gray, Ga.

JONES COUNTY, GEORGIA 

The first Masonic Lodge of Jones County was organized 
under the name of Wornam Lodge No. 116 at Clinton, Georgia 
in the year 1850 and acted under dispensation until charter was

Records of Clinton Lodge No. 54, list of officers and members 
and a silver compass were placed in a copper box in a stone (cor¬ 
ner stone) of Brig.-Gen. Count Pulaski Monument, Savannah, 
Chatham Co., in October 11, 1853. 

The new Lodge, Sincerity No. 430, together with the Board 
of Trustees of the Clinton Public School, erected a two-story 
frame building, near the Clinton Methodist church, and for 
many years this building was occupied by the school and the up¬ 
per story used for Lodge room. In 1905 when the Court House 
was moved from Clinton to Gray, the Lodge purchased the old 
Court House in Clinton and used this building for Lodge Room 
until 1920 when the Lodge was moved to Gray. It then occupied 
the second floor of the Chambliss building. This building to¬ 
gether with all the Masonic equipment and records were destroy¬ 
ed by fire on the night of November 13, 1923. The Lodge was 
then re-equipped and made its home in the Child’s Building at 


Gray.

Genealogies 

The descendants of early Jones County families were invited 
to send in gratis their lineage for this book and many have done 
so. Not all of the old families are listed but this was impossible 
in many instances. Some families could not be located, some 
were not interested and others failed to have the data necessary. 
In compiling these, they are made up from the individuals of the 
family and their records. Compilers of genealogies know that 
errors may creep in such records and I cannot vouch for the 
accuracy in such instances, however I have insisted on these 
records being as accurate as possible. Families not listed may 
be found in the 1820 Census or if later the 1850 Census or in 
other records in this book.

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


DR. HARVEY LEE ANCHORS 

Dr. Harvey Lee Anchors was born at Haddock, Ga. August 
8, 1877, son of John D. and Christiana Haddock Anchors. His 
maternal grandparents were Caswell and Milbry Barnes Had¬ 
dock, for whom the town is named. After finishing the school 
there he attended G.A.B. College in Macon, then he went to the 
University of Georgia, Medical School in Augusta, Ga. He grad¬ 
uated in 1898 and practiced at James, Ga. for two years. He 
married Clara Walker of Marshallville, Ga. R. H. Kingman, 
Jr. of James was best man, and Dr. W. G. Lee of Macon, a 
classmate, was a groomsman. 

In 1900 he bought Dr. Lawrence’s practice and moved to 
Haddock. Here he rode horseback and used a buggy and prac¬ 
ticed over a wide area. He was called in on a case known prior 
to this as ‘cramp colic” which was fatal, but he recognized this 
as being appendicitis, called in Dr. K. P. Moore of Macon and 
they performed the operation on the dining room table by lamp¬ 
light. The patient lived and was the wonder of the town, as this 
was the first appendectomy ever performed in Haddock or Jones 
County. 

Dr. Anchors was a member of the old Fortville Methodist 
church, he was a Mason and truly a typical family physician. He 
died, ironically enough, with a ruptured appendix, as his physi¬ 
cian was unable to do for him what he had done for others. This 
was in Sept. 1916. He lived with his sister, Mrs. H. C. Peterson, 
after his wife died in 1912. His children, Miss Louise Anchors, 
lives in Greenville, N. C. and Fred Anchors, a tobacco grower, 
in Lumberton, N. C.

ANDERSON’S 

Early in the 18th Century a family of Andersons came from 
Scotland to America, settling in Virginia. Three of their boys 
soon started out looking for other lands. One went West to¬ 
wards Ohio, one stopped in North Carolina, and the third one 
came to Georgia settling on a farm near Forsyth. This one, John 
C. Anderson died there April 24, 1869 at the age of 80, leaving 
six children. One son, Samuel Maddox, aspired to be a Doctor

583 


of Medicine, attending The American College of Medicine and 
The Newton Clinical Institute 1850-1856. His diploma from the 
above Cincinnati Colleges still being kept in perfect preservation 
by present descendants. 

After graduation he located in Jones County, Georgia where 
he met and married Frances Adeline Alexander; a first cousin 
of the eminent Alexander Stevens, who was a frequent visitor 
in her home and whose statue is in the Hall of Fame. 

Immediately after the vows were taken, the Doctor was called 
to a patient, then to another (by community grape-vine), and 
he was four days getting back to his bride. Frances, at her par¬ 
ents’ home, endured the teasing of friends and relations, being 
called “The bride deserted at the altar.” 

Then began his pioneer work as physician for Jones and bor¬ 
dering counties. During the first days of the Civil War, he acted 
for a short time as Superintendent of the Macon Hospital, for 
there was a shortage of doctors. Twice he was called to the war 
front to administer to the South’s brave wounded soldiers. Each 
time in response to the Jones County people’s petitions the Con¬ 
federate Government sent him home. 

During Sherman’s march through Georgia one of the Yankee 
Companies camped at his home, Cornucopia, while Dr. Ander¬ 
son was at the front. Frances and her three small children were 
deprived of all food and lived on parched wheat and sweet po¬ 
tatoes for about six months. 

Returning from the battlefields, the doctor resumed his prac¬ 
tice. Whenever possible he and Frances roamed the fields and 
woods searching for medicinal herbs,—prepared medicine was 
scarce, so he and Frances brewed many tonics and rolled pills 
for the sick. Those were horseback, saddle-bag days,—travel 
was slow so Frances became very efficient in applying these rem¬ 
edies to those families who often came, bringing one sick child 
and the other eight or ten children to spend the day, only to 
find the Doctor away from home. Frances was a true help-mate. 
In addition to rearing nine healthy children she managed large 
farms, a gin house, a country store, and the Post Office. She, too, 
was a pioneer as a model country Doctor’s wife. The active life 
of a country Doctor is short (Statistics average 20 years), so 


584 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


after 40 years of continuous practice, he moved to Hillsboro, 
where he died Jan. 18, 1893, age 64. Thus passed a Doctor 
who never failed his Hippocrates Oath. Five grandsons were 
volunteers in the 1st and 2nd World Wars, Two sons and two 
grandsons in the medical world have reflected credit on the An¬ 
derson name. Frances died Feb. 2, 1922, and is buried by his 
side in the Hillsboro Family Cemetery. 

Following are their children: 

1. John Franklin (deceased), graduate of Maryland Univer¬ 
sity of Medicine. He practiced in Jones and Jasper over 
50 years. His children are: Guy L., attorney, Gray; J. 
Samuel, retired government worker, Hillsboro; Sadie May,

BARRONS 

Captain William Barron and bro. John Barron were descen¬ 
dants of the Barons of Burnchurch and Lord Gerald of Offaby. 
The patronymic name of the Barons of this Church was Fitz- 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


585 


gerald. It seems that Maurice Fitzgerald, a lineal descendant of 
Lord Gerald was the forerunner of the Fitzgerald family in 
Ireland. There were three branches of this Fitzgerald family. 
One retained the same name, Fitzgerald, another Gerald while 
a third used Baron, later spelled Barron. The Commodore Bar- 
rons of Virginia, Commodore James Barron and his two sons, 
Commodore James Barron, Jr., Com. Samuel and his son Cap¬ 
tain Barron were of the same family, and were in service of the 
U.S.A. during the Rev. War and since then. 

Captain William Barron b. 1740 in Ireland, Waterford Co. 
married Prudence (Prudy) Davis b. 1742, mar. 1760. Two or 
three of their ch. were b. in Ireland and they came to Warren 
Co., Ga. in about 1766. Captain Wm. Barron was in command 
of a Co. during the Rev. War. He was wounded during the 
battle of Augusta, Ga. and after he had lain on the battlefield 
for three days without attention, his men returned under a flag 
of truce to bury the dead and care for the wounded, and found 
him. Contrary to his wishes, they carried him to the edge of 
the town and laid him on old Grayson’s piazza. Grayson was an 
old Tory and knew that the English had offered a considerable 
sum for his head. As soon as the Tories found it out they hired 
an Indian to behead him. They put his head, as a trophy, on a 
pole erected in the center of Augusta where it remained three 
weeks, until the Whigs regained the town and took it down. He 
was a brave fighter and a terror to the Tories and British. 

Capt. Barron’s widow Prudence Davis Barron, died in War¬ 
ren Co. about 1815. The names of only four of their ch. are 
known: John Barron, Jr. b. 1763 Ireland mar. 1788 to Frances 
Garrard of Wilkes Co. (2) Elizabeth Barron b. Oct. 25, 1765,

Mar. 22, 1793 in Warren Co., near Augusta. They moved to

1887 the family moved to Fortville, to a lovely home designed 
by Daniel Pratt. Pratt lived there a few years, Ormsby, Mough- 
ons, and Col. Chambers had lived in it also. The Moughons en¬ 
larged and beautified the house and surroundings. There were 
beautiful gardens, boxwoods, large oaks, slave quarters. The 
hardware for htis house was imported and very unusual. This 
house burned about ten years ago. At one time Capt. B. F. Ross 
lived there. 

Fortville church was finally moved to Haddock, but it was a 
great center of Methodism in Jones County and the Clark fam¬

days. One old lady asked to have her church letter nailed on a 
tree and left there when the church was moved away. After the 
splendid Academy was gone and the country school, children 
went to Pine Ridge and Haddock. The cemetery is still used 
and near here are many Indain graves and a faint outline of the 
old fort from which Fortville got its name.

built a ferry, since known as Dames Ferry. Relatives, Jarvis, 
Green and others settled here, and built houses on the Ocmulgee 
river. 

Their house was built as a fort, so all the families could get 
together in case the Indians attacked. The boards were three 
of four inches thick, 14 in. wide, timbers heavy and strong, 
built on top of the hill. Holes were cut to allow firing without 
leaving the house. The building has been torn down but the 
heavy timbers were used in other houses later. Negroes live 
there now, descendant of slaves who came down from Virginia 
with the Dames. 

Three cemeteries there are filled with members of the family. 
A large stone marks the grave of Mary Dame, mother of the 
Georgia Dames came from Virginia. 

The ferry was made in 1810, and is still in use. 

Four boys fought in war 1812-14 with England. Richard and 
Charles enlisted in Georgia. John and George went back, en¬ 
listed in Virginia, but came back after the war. Geo. moved to 
Montgomery Co. then to Clinch Co. where he died. Richard 
and Chas. moved to North Georgia. Arrowheads of Indians can 
be found on the Dame property there until this day, the Indians’

JARRELLS 

Copied from “The Circle”, by Eugene Anderson 

Home on the Ocmulgee— When Dr. Gus Nunnally presided 
over Mercer, a farmer boy named Benjamin Richard Jarrell 
(better known as Dick) from five miles south of Juliette on the 
river road registered at Mercer University. He was the son of 
John Jarrell, gentleman from Virginia. 

“Dick” Jarrell made a good record at Mercer and came home 
to marry and build his home on a hill on the river road. He did 
this himself in the days when nails ,chains and all tools had to be 
made by the country blacksmith. Jarrell made his own tools, 
nails, etc. He was a machinist and a carpenter by nature. He had 
his own sawmill plant, grist mill, shingle mill, cotton gin, wagon 
works and cotton press. He made his own water system, had hot 
and cold water, made huge fireplaces for each room, which rooms 
were 20x20x18. His father John Jarrell was living after the Civil 
War when there was a terrible shortage of salt. John Jarrell 
made buckets and pots and moved his teams and furnaces down 
to Savannah to distill ocean water and extract the salt. Within 
a few weeks he had a merchantable supply of salt, and the 
farmers and housewives of Jones County have never since had 
to be rationed on salt. The ocean water yielded an abundance 
to people who had skill enough to reduce the brine to steam, and 
then evaporated steam down to salt. Richard or Dick taught 
school for a few years before he began his own farm and has 
independently operated it ever since. He married the daughter 
of H. Z. Vanzandt of Bibb County.

JARRELL 

The name Jarrell at one time was Fitzgerald. Early records 
in Jones Co. show that they wrote F. Jarrell and Fitz Jarrell. 
Blake Fitzgerald moved his family from North Carolina to 
Jones Co., Ga., in 1820-21. He was a farmer and slave owner. 
He settled on lands about two miles from the Ocmulgee river in 
Towles District. He built a substantial dwelling with hand hewn 
framing and mortised and pinnned framing. The old stage road 
ran by the house. Blake and Zilpha Fitzgerald’s children were: 
John, Mary, Elizabeth, Nancy, Sarah, Thomas, Missouri Ann, 
Lavinia and LeRoy. Blake died Jan. 5, 1850. His wife Zilpha, 
d. Apr. 21 1860. Blake was born in Va. 1784. Zilpha was b. in 
N. C. in 1784. 


LEROY FITZ JARRELL 

At one time LeRoy Fitz Jarrell was in Macon, Ga. He was 
ill and sent for Dr. Ambrose Baber. Dr. Baber gave him a pre¬ 
scription which he had filled at George Payne’s Druge Store. The 
clerk, Alex Menard sent a message with the prescription saying 
not to take it until he had seen the doctor. The following ac¬ 
count of what followed the next day is from Miss Mary Baber- 
Blackshear’s statement published in the Macon Telegraph, May 
8, 1932. She is a granddaughter of Dr. Baber. u Dr. Baber’s pa¬ 
tient LeRoy F. Jarrell states that on the arrival of the doctor 
on March 8, 1846 at 8 a. m. LeRoy showed Dr. Baber the medi¬ 
cine and told him that Alex Menard had written him not to take 
the medicine until he had seen the doctor. Dr. Baber was greatly 
surprised, knowing that he had made no mistake and to reassure 
his patient and allay his fears, poured into a glass a dose, as pre¬ 
scribed and drank it without hesitation. The doctor then asked 
in a faint voice for some sugar or cough syrup, that Mr. Jarrell 
had used. Dr. Ambrose arose and moved toward the door at¬ 
tempting to remove or loosen his cravat, then he seemed sudden¬ 
ly paralyzed and began falling. The nurse and Mr. Jarrell 
caught him and laid him on a couch. Jarrell called H. L. Cook 
and asked him to bring Dr. Green or some other physician as 
soon as possible. Mr. Brown and Mr. Harris came in, and soon 
after, Dr. Brown and Dr. Lamar, hut within fifteen minutes, Dr.

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Baber expired as if falling asleep. LeRoy Jarrell says that, “In 
the death of Dr. Ambrose Baber, I had not only lost a physician 
in whom I had every confidence, but a father and a friend.” 

The prescription that killed Dr. Baber contained a mistake, 
but it was not his mistake. Immediately after his death, the 
Medical Society of Ga., which published his memoirs, made an 
exhaustive investigation and proved that the same prescription 
given by other doctors had caused three deaths, but it was not 
ascertained what caused them when they occurred. The prescrip¬ 
tion was compounded by Majendie’s recipe as published in the 
seventh edition of Ellis’ formula which had been published under 
the sanction of the Medical College of Philadelphia and in which 
there was a terrible typographical error. As soon as Dr. Baber’s 
doctor friends of Macon came to his office they discovered this 
volume containing this prescription and turned it over to the 
Medical Society which investigated every circumstance and inter¬ 
viewed every person connected with the tragedy. As soon as the 
publishers of Ellis’ Fomulary learned that their own typograph¬ 
ical error was responsible, and to avoid law suits, sent their se¬ 
cret agents all over the United States to obtain in any way pos¬ 
sible every one of those volumes in existence, but the U. S. Gov¬ 
ernment was ahead of them and had recalled that whole edition 
and all other volumes belonging to physicians and had them all 
burned. 

LeRoy F. Jarrell died many years later and is buried in Jones 
County, at New Hope Church, his grave is unmarked.

JOHNSON FAMILY 

The first of whom we find any record was William Johnson, a 
planter of St. Paul’s Parish, married Hannah Beck. They both 
died in July 1771. William Johnson’s daughter Susannah John¬ 
son married Col. Francis Yonge, a member of the Goy. Council 
of the Province of South Carolina and who administered their 
estates. 

Besides his daughter, Susannah, William Johnson left two sons, 
William and Richard Johnson, who lived first on Wadmala Is¬ 
land and later in Prince William’s Parish. The tradition is that 
they were raised in Charleston in the home of Mr. O. Hair. 

William Johnson II was born in 1761 and died Feb. 22, 1808 
in Barnwell District (Charleston Courier, Mar. 2, 1808). In a

William Johnson, planter, Wadmalaw Island, St. John’s Parish, 
Colleton County. He married Catherine M. Rhodes. Will dated 
Feb. 9, 1808 and recorded in Will Book A, page 82, Barnwell

JUHAN 

The Juhan family was established in Jones Co. first about 
1827, when three brothers arrived from South Carolina, Daniel 
B., Francis P., and Isaac B. Juhan. Their father Alexander Ju¬ 
han, was the son of James Juhan, a Frenchman descended from 
the noble family of San Domingo, who was driven from the 
tropical island by the slave rebellion. James came to America in 
1768 and earned his living by making violins and other musical 
instruments, also teaching fencing and music. His son Alexander 
inherited his father’s musical talents and achieved some fame in 
Philadelphia in the 1780’s. About 1790 Alexander moved to 
Charleston, to teach music. Elizabeth Bourdeaux, daughter of 
a well to do merchant was a pupil with whom the young music 
teacher fell in love and despite her family’s opposition, they were 
married in 1792. Elizabeth’s father was Daniel Bordeaux, mem¬ 
ber of an old Hugenot family founded in Charleston about 1690 
and Martha Smith Bordeaux des. of Landgrave (later Gov.) 
Thomas Smith. Alex, and Eliz. lived in Charleston, S. C., then 
in Barnwell Co., S. C. They had six ch., of which were the three 
brothers, Daniel, Francis and Isaac. Elizabeth, wife of Alex¬ 
ander, died in 1816, as did her father. The happy plantation life 
on the upper Savannah river was ended. Alexander became in¬ 
volved in financial difficulties, and then by losing his wife, his son 
Francis said: “Father lost the equilibrium of a powerful mind”. 
He sold his properties for little, gave his slaves away, burned his 
library and returned to the scenes of his youthful successes in 
Philadelphia and there taught music until his death in 1845. The 
eldest son, Daniel Bordeaux Juhan, a young attorney in Charles¬ 
ton, took his wife and children and with his two brothers, set out 
to Georgia and settled in Jones County about 1827. Daniel B. 
and Isaac B. Juhan stayed in Jones and left descendants there, 
but the third, Francis Paysant Juhan moved to Gwinnett and 
DeKalb Counties and left descendants there. 

Daniel Bordeaux Juhan, b. in S. C. about 1797, mar Catherine 
Rhodes Johnson, (dau. of Wm. Johnson, II, 1761-1808) a 
planter on Wadmalaw Island. They settled in Jones Co. and he

came back to Jones Co., where he lived the rest of his life. He

WILLIAM ABNER JOHNSON 
HAS PAPERS MADE BY ANCESTORS 
PRIOR TO 1800 

Abraham Johnson, ancestor of William Abner, came from 
Chester County, Pennsylvania, to Georgia in 1776. With him he 
brought a paper that testified to his good character and bore the 
good wishes of his neighbors. 

Written in a cramped hand, and giving evidence of a quill 
pen that was not unlike the usual one to be found in a post office, 
the document reads: 






646 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


“Whereas the bearer, Abraham Johnson, of the township of 
Concord, county of Chester and province of Pennsylvania, Yeo¬ 
man, do intend to travel to that well-recommended country call¬ 
ed Georgia, we therefore do hereby subscribe to this recom¬ 
mendation for his advancement, that he has a good plantation 
within said township and county and has lived in our county many 
years past and is of good circumstance, very laborious, hard 
working man and is a kind neighbor and his abilities with his 
freedom thereto render him of great use to us both public and 
private and we would be glad that he would content himself 
with us. But his father, William Johnson, being a dweller and 
living in that country and his own family, induces him through 
the great recommendations of that country to see it. And having 
settled his affairs to our brethren the inhabitants of that country 
or wherever his lot may be cast, with fervent desire for his pros¬ 
perous and safe return to his family.” 

Thirty-three Signatures 

The document is dated August 29, 1776 and signed with 33 
names, including the Rector of St. Paul’s church, in the Borough 
of Chester, and including also, the sheriff of the county. 

Just where Abraham Johnson first settled, the present gener¬ 
ation does not know. They do know that the great-grandfather, 
William Johnson, came to Jones County before 1801, for his son 
William, Jr., was born in Jones county in that year. That son, 
William, Jr., moved to Bibb County near Holton on the River 
road and the Johnsons live on the old place today. That William 
had a son, William David, and his son is the present William 
Abner. 


Certificate of Marriage 

Mr. Johnson has the marriage certificate of that ancestor, 
Abraham Johnson. It is creased and creamy with age and certifies 
that he was married to Madeline James on Feb. 7, 1768. 

Somehow, there came into possession of the Johnsons an old 
deed to 150 acres of land in the town of Wrightsboro in the 
parish of St. Paul’s, dated 1768. It is made to Richard Jones and 
so far as the Johnsons know, there is nobody of their family by 
that name. 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


647 


The deed is a grant of land from King George, II, and is 
written in legible and beautiful script. With whereas’s and 
whereby’s, it includes some two thousand words and the parch¬ 
ment on which it is written is about 15 by 18 inches. 

In part it reads: 

“All woods, underwoods, timber and timber trees, lakes, 
ponds, fishing water, water courses, commodities, herediments 
and appurtenances whatever thereunto belonging or in any wise 
appertaining, together also with the privilege of hunting, hawk¬ 
ing and fowling in and upon the same, and all mines and minerals 
whatsoever saving and preserving nevertheless to us, our heirs 
and successors, all white pine trees if any should be found grow¬ 
ing thereon, and saving and preserving to us, our heirs and 
successors, one tenth part of mines of silver and gold only.” 

The king, however, believed that new settlers in America 
should put forth an effort to get lands improved, so he demand¬ 
ed that the owner of the land should clear up or drain three acres 
each year, or should start a quarry, or should put cattle or sheep 
each year on three acres out of every fifty. If the owner should 
not comply with those demands he should give up the property 
and it would revert to the crown. 

In the Jones County Census of 1820 there are three William 
Johnsons listed, William Johnson, 45+, William Johnson, 45 
yrs., William Johnson, 26 years. The present home of George 
Small has a stone step with the name William Johnson cut into it. 
It is believed that this home built in the early 1800’s was the 
home of William Johnson.

Macon Telegraph by Susan 
Myrick, Aug. 30, 1936.

to the Sea”, young David Snellings, a deserter from the Confed¬ 
erate Army, had joined Sherman’s forces and was encamped with 
the General at the nearby Cobb Place in Baldwin County. From 
there Sherman’s raiders, influenced by Snellings, in a most vicious 
manner, plundered, pillaged, and destroyed by fire most of the 
Lesters’ personal property. Twice the residence of Dennis Lester 
was set on fire. Elderly David Lester was tied and bound with 
rope for hanging in an attempt to force him to divulge the hiding- 
place of his gold, silver and other valuables. David Snellings is 
credited with much of the viciousness suffered by these two men 
and their families, who had been his generous benefactors in 
childhood.

of children, namely: Annie, Illda, Gertrude, Maude, Vida, 
Pierce and Hugh David. David Lester was Jones County’s first

The Lesters were practical industrious citizens of Jones 
County, Ga., who devoted their career to the pursuits of plant¬ 
ing farming, and through much energy and well directed effort 
were successful in accumulating a satisfactory competence. They 
rarely chose public life. They were content to remain in private 
life as good and public-spirited citizens.

standing in Clinton. It was later owned by Col. Jas. H. Blount, 
and now the Hamiltons. James Lockett and the Thweatts came

John Milner, Captain, appears in the Harvey List of Ga. 
Rev. Soldiers. He served under Col. Elijah Clarke, and was

Rev. Benjamin Milner is credited with having brought Ber¬ 
muda grass from England, the first being planted in the yard of 
his old home near Blountsville. A branch of the Tufts family 
founded Tufts College near Chelsea, Mass, which is still operat¬ 
ing. This family owned Tufts Springs in lower Jones County 
which was analyzed and found to be the purest water in the 
world. A traveler from Jones Co. saw a sign in Carlsbad, Ger¬ 
many that said, “This is the purest water in the world, except 
water from Tufts Springs in Jones County ,Ga.” This land is 
now in Bibb Co., since that part of Jones was cut off to make 
Bibb. Benjamin and Penelope Milner’s dau. Mary P. Milner,

Rev. Benj. Milner gave all seven dau. a good education. The 
late Chief Justice Hiram Warner boarded in the home and was 
their teacher and the family friend for life. Rev. Benjamin Mil¬ 
ner and Jesse Mercer were staunch friend and held many reviv¬ 
als in Jones County and elsewhere. One day during the war of 
1812, a recruiting officer came to a meeting to get recruits for 
the defense of the city of Savannah. Several young men slipped 
out of the church. Rev. Milner said, “Young ladies, keep your 
eyes on those young men, and remember that, a young man who 
won’t protect his country, won’t protect his family, beware of 
such.” Again when Jesse Mercer and Rev. Milner were baptiz¬ 
ing a great number after a revival, as Mr. Milner was leading a 
woman of a notorious character into the water, Jessie Mercer 
said in an audible voice, “Souse her deep, brother Mercer, for 
she has been an abominable sinner.”

MORTON 

The Jones County branch of Mortons was descended from 
George Morton, who came to Plymouth, Mass, in the ship, 
“Ann” in July 1623. He had won business leadership in the 
Plymouth Colony in Leyden, Holland and took a leading part in 
organizing the Mayflower expedition. He desired to come to 
America on that ship, but remained to outfit other ships. He 
sailed on the “Ann”, the last of the three ships classed as carry¬ 
ing the Founding Fathers. Before leaving England, George Mor¬ 
ton compiled all official records and had them published in a 
volume known as, “Mourt’s Relations”, which may be regarded 
as the first American History, as these reports came from Ply¬ 
mouth. His son Ephriam, was active in the life of the Plymouth 
Colony, serving as a Lt. in the Militia, a Plymouth Rep. to the 
Mass. Gen. court and a deacon in the church. For the next three 
generations the Morton family tradition was carried on by 
George, Timothy and Silas who were active at Plymouth and in 
Mass, state. At the outbreak of the Rev. War, Silas and his son 
Oliver Morton fought to establish independence of the colonies. 
At the end of the war, Oliver came South and finally settled in 
what is now Jones County, thereby becoming the “founding 
father” of the Jones County branch of the Morton family. 
(Landmarks of Plymouth, Part II by Davis, W. T.) (Geo. 
Morton of Plymouth Colony, by Allen, J. K.) 

Oliver Morton, b. in Boston, Mass. 9-6-1763 served as “Boy” 
on the brigantine, “Independence”. In the battle off Halifax, 
N. S., the boat was captured by the British and he was a prison¬ 
er for seven months. He escaped at N. Y. and went to Plymouth. 
He followed the sea for many years and was transferred to 
North Carolina where he m. Sarah Everette, b. 6-10-1770, of 
Ash Co., N. C. They moved to Jones in 1807 where he became 
a planter. They had 12 ch. (1) Silas, b. 3-31-1789, mar. 1st,

probably the first man in Jones County to grow short horn cattle 
commercially. He brought over a man from Scotland to look af¬ 
ter these cattle and was very successful. 

George and Belle White Stallings had two sons; George Ver¬ 
non Stallings, who is now with the Walt Disney Studios as an 
artist and writer. The second son, Oliver White Stallings is with 
a World Construction Company. George Stallings, Sr. was called

JOSEPH GILL STILES 

Joseph Gill Stiles was born in Chesterfield County, Virginia, 
the son of John and Agnes Stiles. He was one of a large family 
of children. John Stiles was a Revolutionary Soldier in Vir¬ 
ginia. He moved with his family to Georgia and settled in 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


691 


Oglethorpe County. He bought a lot in the town of Lexington 
in 1798, but later he bought land on Long Creek and started 
to farm. 

Joseph G. Stiles was married three times. He first married 
Elizabeth Barber, daughter of George Barber of Oglethorpe 
CountyCounty, March 13th 1799. He bought land in Oglethorpe 
County after his marriage and lived there a while before he 
moved to Jones County. He and his wife Elizabeth had four 
daughters, Sarah, Margaret, Nancy and Agnes Stiles. Elizabeth 
(Betsy Stiles died in 1805.) 

Joseph was living in Oglethorpe County and he married 
a second time, Sara Watkins Davis, July 9th, 1807. It was about 
this time that he decided to leave Oglethorpe County and go to 
Jones County. The records of Oglethorpe County show the sale 
of his land and those of Jones County show that Joseph Styles 
bought land there in 1808. Joseph and Sarah Stiles had seven 
children, Elizabeth, Cynthia, Margery P., Mary A., Joseph, 
Amanda M., and John Stiles. 

Numbers of grants had been made in Jones County. All per¬ 
sons who received the grants did not want the land and they sold 
it. Joseph Stiles bought large tracts of land and owned a large 
plantation. At this time there was another Joseph Stiles of the 
Stiles Family in Chatham County. Joseph Stiles then started 
signing his name using his middle initial to avoid confusion. Rec¬ 
ords in courthouses show that not only did Joseph G. Stiles pur¬ 
chase land in Jones County, but in many of the other counties as 
well. 

The home of Joseph G. Stiles was located on the old road 
known as “The Garrison Road” that ran from Milledgeville to 
first, Ft. Hawkins, then Macon. The stage coaches used this 
road. His plantation was used as a stage coach stop. 

John Stiles, father of Joseph G. Stiles, sold his land in Ogle¬ 
thorpe County and moved to Twiggs County not far from the 
home of his son. John had remarried and his second wife, Claris¬ 
sa Stiles, survived him when he died in 1826. Joseph G. Stiles was 
the administrator of his father’s estate. 

Sarah, the second wife of Joseph Stiles died in 1842. Joseph 
then married a third time. He was married in Jones County to 


692 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Mrs. Mary Glover, April 7, 1843. They had two children, 
Louisa M. and Nicholas H. Stiles. 

The older children had scattered and lived in other counties in 
Georgia and some lived in Alabama. Every ten years Joseph G. 
Stiles had a family reunion. He sent his wagon trains to collect 
them, even the children in Alabama. It must have taken the 
wagon train a long time to go to Alabama and return, while 
other wagons were collecting the families in Georgia. 

Joseph G. Stiles lived to be a very old man and died February 
15, 1858 when he was seventy-nine years old. 

Since he had only two sons, Joseph, Jr., and Nicholas, to mar¬ 
ry, there are very few descendants by the name of Stiles. None 
of them are now living in Jones County. His daughters all mar¬ 
ried to have many descendants throughout this state and other 
states. 

Mrs. Mary Stiles died December 24, 1865 and is buried in the 
old Stiles Cemetery near the grave of her husband on his old 
plantation.

TICKNORS 

William Ticknor settled at Scituate, Mass., in 1645, and the 
line of descent is as follows: William I, William II, John 3, 
Isaac 4, John 6, William 7, Eugene Thomas 8. The family mov¬ 
ed to Lebannon, Connecticutt, in 1710, where they lived until 
Orray and William moved to Georgia. Orray was the father of 
the poet Francis Orray Ticknor (see Men of Mark), other de- 
cendants Columbus and Albany, Ga. Other brothers, David and 
Ashahel remained at Columbia and William, their bro. moved to 
Susquehanna, Penn. A sister, Clarissa, mar. Ebenezer Ormsby at 
Clinton, Jones County, Ga. Samuel F. and Simon P. Ticknor 
were engaged in the manufacture of cotton gins at Prattsville, 
Ala. until 1855 when Samuel died and Simon returned to Conn. 
Esther Ticknor, 1827 married Daniel Pratt, the architect, gin 
maker and founder of Prattsville, Ala. William Orray Ticknor 
married Mary Jane Brooks, who lived a mile from Round Oak 
and a mile from Caney Creek Church. William Orray was born 
at Blountsville, grew up there then bought a place at Wayside, 
where he farmed and taught school. The pupils paid two dollars

a month and the school was run at seasons when the children 
were not needed on the farm. Eugene T. Ticknor, a son of Wm. 
Orray and Mary Jane Ticknor lived in Macon. 

BENJAMIN TODD 

Benjamin Todd, the son of John Todd, Jr., and his wife, 
Margaret Edwin Todd, of North Carolina and Georgia, and 
grandson of John Todd, Sr., and his wife Sarah, who came to the 
colony of Georgia from Virginia, was born in Rowan County, 
North Carolina in 1778. John Todd, Sr., died in 1761 and left a 
wife and two small sons, Giles and John, in Chatham County, 
Georgia. Giles was given his father’s land in Virginia, and his 
mother probably went back to Virginia after her husband’s 
death, as John, Jr., was married to Margaret Erwin of Rowan 
County, North Carolina, and their son, Benjamin, was born 
there in 1778. He had a brother, Levi, who was mentioned in a 
deed from their father on file in Putnam County. 

Records of Wilkes County, Georgia, show that John Todd, 
Sr., lived, and was a Lt. in the Home Guard there in 1803. Ben¬ 
jamin Todd resided in Wilkes and Greene Counties until about 
1811, when he came to Jones County, Georgia, where he lived 
until his death. John Todd bought land in Clinton in 1807 and 
sold it in 1818 to his son, Benjamin. The deed names Margaret 
as wife of John Todd, Sr. In 1825, however, Margaret renounc¬ 
ed her dower in the premises, so John must have died between 
1819 and 1825; and, since he does not appear in the census of 
1820, presumably, before then. 

Benjamin Todd’s first wife’s name does not appear on any of 
the deeds, and the record of his marriage has not been located, 
but he was married a second time to Miss Charity Kilby, on July 
18, 1841, and she survived him. He had seven children by his 
first wife: 

John B. Todd, b. 1799, m. Elizabeth Green, Oct. 12, 1819. 

Mary Todd, b. 1800, m. Joseph Green, Nov. 18, 1823. 

William L. Todd, b. 1804, m. Charity Coleman, Dec. 6, 1827. 

Susannah Todd ,b. 1806, m. Richmond Buckner, Oct. 17, 
1820. 

Rebecca Todd, b. 1812, m. Thomas Vincent, Jan. 17, 1833. 


694 


HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


Elizabeth Todd, b. 1814, m. Reason Buckner of Putnam 
County, and died Oct. 20, 1883. 

At the age of seventy-seven, Benjamin Todd was struck by a 
falling tree (February, 1855) and killed. His old home out near 
“Devil’s Half Acre” is still standing, and is located very near a 
cemetery, which is probably where he lies buried. 

The Todds and the Buckners were very closely associated in 
Rowan County, North Carolina, and continued that association 
after coming to Georgia. Richmond Buckner, who married Ben¬ 
jamin Todd’s daughter, Susannah ,in Jones County, Georgia, was 
a cousin of Reason Buckner, who married her sister, Elizabeth; 
and to further strengthen family ties, Reason’s sister, Elizabeth, 
married Benjamin Allen Todd in Monroe County on December 
7, 1837. Richmond’s father, Richmond, Sr., died in 1814, and 
Richmond who was born in Georgia in 1796, made his home with 
his great aunt, Mrs. Polly Maddox. He had one older brother, 
Henry Morris Buckner, who married Polly Fallen in 1831. 

Reason Buckner was the second son of John and Lucy (Lucre- 
tia) Daniel Buckner, who were married in Rowan County, North 
Carolina, June 24, 1807. He was the grandson of Benjamin 
Buckner, a merchant in Rowan County, and Revolutionary sol¬ 
dier who received a land grant in Putnam County, February 3, 
1806. He had sons: Henry, Parham, Tillman, Charles, Avery, 
John, Daniel, and Freeland, who began settling in Georgia as 
early as 1803, and were all there before 1819, except for Henry 
who went to Texas and settled in Red River County in 1835. 
John and Lucy Daniel Buckner were among the last to come, not 
arriving until 1818, and then John was killed shortly afterwards 
in the fall of 1820, while taking a load of cotton to the gin, 
leaving Lucy with three sons and three daughters: 

Juliann, b. 1808, m. Cobren Wheeler, 1824 in Putnam Co. 

Pleasant, b. Nov. 18, 1809, m. Sarah Ross of Jones County on 
Dec. 23, 1838; moved to Sumter County in 1850 and then to 
Dale County, Alabama, where he died leaving a large family of 
descendants. 

Reason, b. 1811, m. Elizabeth Todd, Nov. 26, 1835, in Put¬ 
nam County. 

Sarah, m. William Coker and moved to Sumter County.

Joshua Reeves, b. 1819, m. Elizabeth Barefield, Sept. 14,

Pleasant, Reason and Sarah Buckner Coker moved with their 
families to Sumter County in 1850, and Reason’s only child, 
Lucy Anne Elizabeth, was married there on December 27, 1853, 
to Hugh Carmichael, a merchant of Americus, Georgia. In 1868, 
Reason Buckner and his wife moved to Early County, and his 
daughter and her family followed in 1872. Elizabeth Buckner 
died on February 29, 1876, just before the marriage of her old¬ 
est grandchild, Margaret Eudora Carmichael to Henry Ambrose 
Martin, son of Henry Anderson Martin and Martha Anne Har¬ 
old Martin, on June 1. Reason’s death followed on October 20, 
1883. 


TOWNSDEN - BROOKS 

John Townsden mar. Sarah Hagerty of Kentucky and settled 
in Jones County, drawing in the land lottery of 1821. Sarah 
Hagerty Townsden died in 1872 and they were the parents of: 

(1) Matilda Townsden, d. 1892 who mar. on Jan. 9, 1840

Sarah Hagerty Townsden was truly a pioneer woman. Her

(and a brother). Matilda’s family came down with fever, and 
as they were living in a valley,, the brother asked them to come 
over to his home on a high hill until the cool weather and they 
were better. They did, and when they went back to their home in 
the valley, it was occupied by strangers who refused to give up 
the house or land and in the quarrel John Brooks killed the man. 
He left and was never heard from again. When Sarah H. 
Townsden heard this, she got on her best horse and rode to Ark¬ 
ansas. It was a long and weary trip, but she packed up her

Place in Jones County in an ox cart. Sarah’s husband died early 
and she had the responsibility of the plantation, slaves and the 
family. She rode her horse to Macon each week and transacted 
her business. She owned what is now Shirley Hills, and other 
valuable lands when Bibb was cut out from Jones Co.

JOSEPH WINSHIP 

Joseph Winship was born in New Salem, Mass. Aug. 29, 
1800. Came to Forsyth Ga. in 1822. In 1835 moved to Clinton, 
Ga., opened a general store with Chas. Hutchings, named Win¬ 
ship and Hutchings. The firm became one of the leading estab¬ 
lishments of its kind in the South. They dealt directly with New 
York Wholesalers and importers and had the best stock of goods 
obtainable. Joseph Winship was distinguished for his friendliness 
and love of people. He married in 1826 Emily, daughter of Rob¬ 
ert and Drucilla Hutchings, they lived happily until her death. 
He adopted her relatives as his own. It was his practice to kiss 
all the women, young and old, girls and babies, upon arriving 
and also departing. He always carried a red silk bandanna hand¬ 
kerchief. 

Soon after 1840 he established a machine shop and foundry 
at Clinton, made cotton gins. Sold interest in store to Richard 
Hutchings, brother of Charles. The problem of transportation 
caused him to move his business to Madison on a railroad. As

Atlanta started, he moved there in 1853 and was a leading cit¬ 
izen. 

His plant was used by the Confederacy to manufactur muni¬ 
tions. His two sons George and Robert helped him run Winship 
Machine Works. Sherman in 1865 destroyed his plant and his 
fortune. As Atlanta was burning Joseph Winship and family 
with some furniture came to Macon in a freight car. The car was 
fired on leaving Atlanta. A descendant has the bullet pierced 
bureau now, a granddaughter, Cora Burr Leonard. 

He went back to Atlanta after the war at the age of 56 and 
made back the business and fortune that he had lost: A contemp¬ 
orary wrote of him. “Few pioneer citizens did more to build up 
not only Methodism, but Christianity in Atlanta than Joseph 
Winship. He was faithful to his Church and Civic obligations 
and responsibilities.” He died in Atlanta, Sept. 4., 1878.

LAND LOTTERIES 
JONES COUNTY 


1820 - 1821 - 1826 - 1827 - 1832 
LAND LOTTERY 

In 1802 Georgia ceded to the U. S. all the land between the 
Chattahoochee and the Mississippi River (p. 184. History of 
Georgia—Brooks), in return for a promise from U. S. to remove 
all Indians from Georgia’s reserve territory. ‘‘By purchase if 
possible; by pressure if necessary.” 

By an act of the Legislature in the year 1803, the new Pur¬ 
chase of lands from the Indians west of the Oconee River was 
distributed under the first Land Lottery system. Under it the 
public lands as they were from time to time freed from Indian 
occupancy, were at public cost surveyed into small lots of uni¬ 
form size and marked, numbered and mapped, and the whole 
returned to the Surveyor General’s office from whence by Com¬ 
missioners chosen by the Legislature for the purpose, caused 
all the lots to be thrown into the Lottery Wheel, and to become 
fortune’s gift as well as her own, to her people. (A. H. Chap¬ 
pell, Miscellanies of Georgia.) 

By the treaty of Ft. Wilkinson in 1802, the Creek Indians 
ceded part of the district between the Oconee and Ocmulgee. 
In 1804 at the Creek Agency on the Flint River the Indians 
ceded the remaining territory east of the Ocmulgee. Every 
white man, widow and orphan resident of this state was entitled 
to one draw and every Revolutionary Soldier was entitled to 
two draws.

ROSTER OF SOLDIERS 

REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS 

After the lapse of one hundred and fifty years, the difficulty 
of compiling troops in the different wars of which Jones County 
participated may readily be imagined. Much of the information 
of an earlier period might have been furnished is unhappily be¬ 
yond our reach. Some important records no doubt have been lost 
as the building of new courthouses and the transferring of rec¬ 
ords from the old to the new were undertaken. During Recon¬ 
struction and the War of the Sixties some records were lost, but 
Jones County on the whole has wonderful records and as I 
have obtained this data from the best sources possible, any omis¬ 
sion of names is unintentional. 

Georgia, the youngest of the thirteen colonies, had a scant 
population and during the Revolution was on a remote frontier. 
Nevertheless her troops have always given a good account of 
themselves whether in the Home Guards, Continental Army, 
overthrowing Tories or expelling the British or Spaniards. 

Jones County, quick to recognize the fact that it was a great 
advantage to have settlers whom had fought for their country’s 
liberty to settle here, offered substantial grants of land called 
bounties and many Revolutionary veterans found permanent 
homes. There is hardly a county in the state whose soil is richer 
in Revolutionary dust than Jones County.

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY 


ROSTER REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS 
AND WIDOWS 

The names contained herein are those having some written 
mention on the records, now on file, in the office of Ordinary, 
Jones County, Georgia. 

Verification was made with the book “Official Register of 
Land Lottery of Georgia, Georgia, 1827,” compiled and pub¬ 
lished by Miss Martha Lou Houston, Columbus, Georgia, Feb¬ 
ruary 1929. 

There were some differences in districts in which draws were 
made and the date of draws. However, the records as held in 
this office have prevailed in this report. 

The burial record furnished by courtesy of Mrs. Frank 
Hearne, Graye, Georgia (1939).

ROSTER OF SOLDIERS 

In the wars of our country, Jones County’s sons were in the 
vanguard of the fighting troops. The first war fought after the 
county was organized was the War of 1812, the next one the 
Civil War 1860-1865, the War of 1898, then World War I, 
World War II, and the Korean conflict. Jones County’s sons 
have given a good account for themselves in all wars. The peo¬ 
ple also backed up all of the war efforts, through bond buying, 
Red Cross work, ration books. Along with the rest of the coun¬ 
try Jones has always done her part. No less did Jones County 
people fight the war against depression from 1929 through 
1935. Many Jones County men signed up for service in other 
counties, of those we do not have a list. There were no com¬ 
plete lists of any war to be found. Any names omitted are not 
intended.
